Likely 25% of the country is brainwashed and doesn’t give a shit, to an absolute fault. The rest either did the right thing or totally feel like morons at this point. To the latter people, I am willing to forgive if you take to the streets, stand up for what’s right, and do whatever you can to help us get the train back on the tracks.
Schadenfreude is also robbed of its joy when you’re suffering alongside the folks that fucked up.
It is cheaper for them to take the sales loss that comes with raising prices rather than it would be to take any other approach. Austerity and Tariffs make the perfect economic shit sandwich.
It doesn’t help that the tariffs are nonsensical. It’s not even like they’re doing austerity with correctly targeted tariffs. Incredible work, masterful gambit, art of the deal they’re saying.
A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.
It is absolutely incredible that the only thing that outweighs their malice is their gross incompetence, which for better or worse may be our saving grace in undoing this mess
Automakers had to lobby for this to happen, he’s either a moron or he’s running a racket… oh wait it’s both!
I respect your optimism, I truly hope you’re right. I don’t think we’re locked in for human extinction just yet, but we have a lot of work to do as a society to avoid that.
Spoiler alert, we’re fucked. That’s what the assessment would have said at least.
You’re right. If the government did not already have a history of essentially human trafficking innocent people, I would be much less inclined to care about this
Once again, Gen X left out of the conversation when they still make up a large percentage of the workforce lol.
Being a millennial in the workplace right now is giving me whiplash. Boomers are essentially the old guard and their ways of running business are going the way of the dodo, though I was brought up in that climate and sort of got used to it. While work environments had a tendency to be toxic, I did find some merits in their approach.
Gen Z is almost like the polar opposite reaction to boomer workplace culture. While I think going away from that is a good thing, I also think there have been overcorrections. The culture clash is noticeable and the fact that the old guard seems to be ignoring it only adds to the challenge.
What “illegal immigrants” in their right mind would be out partying at an after hours night club with everything going on? I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few, but 100? This reeks of steamed hams. 100 migrants localized entirely in this illegal nightclub, in this political climate? I would like to see the evidence
Is that good?
You’re right, but I’d just consider that it’s own kind of cult at this point. Pure delusion.
