I’m not at all sad that these blue-collar dumb fucks are losing their jobs. The tech industry has been bleeding jobs in the hundreds of thousands for the past few years. Have the day you voted for you dumb fuck
- Bbbbuuuttt... gazaaaa! Genociiide! Joe!
Wait? You are saying that a Republican? Is fucking up the economy? WUT?
I've been told that rEPbubLiCaNz R gUd aT bIdNeSs.
- 2008 economic crisis
  
  2001 tech bubble pop as well.
No wonder Trump's firing anyone capable of publishing credible job stats.
Fed chair Jay Powell said last month that slowing jobs growth could offset the inflationary impact of Trump’s sweeping tariffs regime.
That’s not how price gouging works.
- Prices aren't going up because people are just starving and going homeless instead of buying.
  Poor people hate this one weird trick!
- I mean, you can only gouge so much. Sure groceries and essentials can do crazy things, but people stop buying stuff when they have no money/job.
🤯 no wayyyy
The electorate has to learn the hard way to never trust the capitalists, the capital and capitalism.
- "Could it be? Could the greedy capitalists not have my best interests at heart?
  No. It's me who is wrong."
- The "purist" liberals that helped Trump win aren't generally the biggest capitalism proponents.
  
  100 %, absolutely true! Ironically only marxists have a thorough understanding of capitalism among the working people of the world.
- Have they though?
  
  Not while consuming their media.
- The Lobby groups will (try to) ensure that the electorate has no say in that matter.
Too much winning!
Now let's see how many americans are willing to work for the same wages...
- Let’s not try to normalize cripplingly low wages and justify having a underclass that has no choice but to try to subsist on them.
  These big ag conglomerates are posting record profits while underpaying the workers. Americans should be able to work these jobs and our society shouldn’t require this sort of exploitation to function.
  
  Try? Where have you spent the last few years?
  
  Business of all sizes hire illegal immigrants, this a drastic oversimplification.
Epstein!!
- I can't imagine taking down an entire country of 300+ million people just to avoid prison.
I laid off staff in December after he was elected in November. Sadly I was very right to do so.
Guess they gotta make someone work in the fields.
