  • What gets me is that these morons think domestically manufactured products will somehow be cheaper that their imported counterparts. The entire reason we’ve come to rely on imports is because they’re cheaper than the domestic variant, almost entirely because American corporations are notoriously greedy shitbags. It’s ridiculous to think that since imports are going to cost significantly more that American corps are going to suddenly find a conscience and charge anything remotely resembling a reasonable price for their goods/services. Even with possible breakthroughs in automation and “AI” (lol), the owner class is guaranteed to use that to enrich themselves at the cost of the rest of us.


  • Yup. The leopards are out and about eating every face they can find.

    The stupid thing about all this is that everything that is happening right now was on full display for the entirety of 2024 up to the election. They said they would crash the economy, round up their list of “undesirables,” destroy much of the inner workings of the federal government, etc, and half this country cheered it on, only to be [shocked Pikachu] when they actually followed through. Like, welcome to reality, actions have consequences. Don’t get me wrong, I am no fan of the Democrats and how they operate, and that we are in need of serious overhaul in how we operate as a country, but this is about the most wrong way to go about it possible. A Harris win would’ve kept the status quo, possibly in perpetuity, but I’d rather that at this juncture than whatever the fuck is going on right now.
