Yep. Stupid MAGA thinks there’s something great about authoritarian regimes. They haven’t traveled and haven’t read history. |

Trump and the Republicans will enforce wage controls as part of the planned economy. Have to keep wages down in order to produce cheap iPhones and tshirts in Trump’s new factories.
Lots of people will be forced to report to the new factories for work. Work will set you free. No more white collar job for you or your children only communism. |

No, some of you are just dying to “make it happen”, we are warning you at every turn but you are determined to FAFO. |

So far, everything we told you will happen, has happened. Your president is now talking about kidnapping American citizens to a foreign gulag. These are the facts. You can keep carrying maga water, or you can wake up, but don't say you weren't warned. |

Yes, tariffs have consequences. And I am not sure why you have the /s after your statement. There is a new slavery operation underpinning this Immigrants to el salvadore bit, so it is totally serious and not sarcasm. |

In 2023, iPhone makers in China's Foxconn Zhengzhou factory earned an average of 26 yuan ($3.6) per hour. This translates to approximately $400 to $800 per month, or $4,800 to $9,600 per year. While some reports indicate base salaries around 2,200 yuan ($324) per month, this doesn't include overtime, bonuses, or benefits. Foxconn also recruited additional workers and offered higher wages, including a three-month full-time bonus of 8,000 yuan.
Who will work these jobs? Will maga? Will we be forced in to these low wage jobs by Trump and the Republicans police state to work in a government control factories? |

99.9% of all phones are made outside of the US Samsung - South Korea & Vietnam HTC - Tiawan & Vietnam Lenovo - India & China Motorola - India & China Pixel - Tiawan, China, and India The only mobile phone models 100% made in the USA are the Librem 5 USA and Liberty Phone made by Purism. It is not iOS or Android based. It runs a proprietary OS called PureOS. And if you've never heard of it, you're not alone. So far only T-Mobile allows it on their network. Conspiracy theorists are big fans of this phone and company. They call themselves Purists and the only reason why MAGAs aren't bigger users of these phone models is because of their prices. The Librem 5 USA costs $1999 and the Liberty Phone costs $2199. I work in digital forensics. Purism likes to tout that they are the anti-big brother phone, but their reliance on open-source tech and their proprietary OS makes the phone pretty unsecure. They market it as having "kill switches" to make it super secure, but when I finally got my hands on one last year, all 3 software I use got me full dumps and access to everything on the phone. Lease secure phone I've encountered, lol. |

No one. That is why they're predicting that base-model phones will start at $3500 if manufactured in the US. I believe $3500 is a conservative figure. And those salaries are also why manufacturing is never coming back to the US. It's easy to say BUY AMERICAN, but it's another thing to do it. And let's be honest, most people do not have the pocketbooks to do it when the inflated prices come into play. |

And why would I do that? |
