The rich have always believed if you don't keep the workers under the yoke they'll be useless. One of the arguments against 40 hour weeks was that they'd just become idlers and drunks.

I hadn't paid attention but a friend told me today tech stocks dropped sharply over the recent 100% tariff announcement then jumped back up when Trump (apparently) backed off. Talk about f-ing around with economics. He's sure there's at least one person with highly leveraged stocks who probably committed suicide, and also probably spread the word so his friend could make some money short selling.

We've already been getting screwed over for decades - American worker productivity has doubled, but wages have been stagnant. The rich get richer and everyone else bears the cost.

So much winning! Trump is smarting about the peace prize and will be on a tear for the next few days. Maybe weeks. Tough to be POTUS and be so impotent.

China is kicking Trump’s ass bigly, and he doesn’t even realize it. Sad!

I think this latest 100% announcement is in retlaition for getting his ass handed to him. I wonder if there is a point the CEOs say 'basta'?

There has to be. The wheels are starting to come off.

And apparently, his trade war is backfiring as China exports worldwide have increased as they take on new partners like Europe (who this dipshit also alienated). It’s a train wreck…

the rest of the world is moving on economically without the USA.

It will take decades, if ever, to overcome the damage trump has done.

Decades for sure. Already money has chosen destinations other than the U.S. And investors are requiring higher interest rates to hold our debt. Johnson keeping the House out of session essentially since the beginning of summer is not helping either.

UPS is now “disposing” packages bound for the U.S. because they can’t manage the paperwork. It’s a mess.


Thousands of U.S.-bound packages shipped by UPS are trapped at hubs across the country, unable to clear the maze of new customs requirements imposed by the Trump administration.

As packages flagged for customs issues pile up in UPS warehouses, the company told NBC News it has begun “disposing of” some shipments.

'a lot of different reasons' ie I can extort countries and companies for personal gain

It’s all about the grift for Trump and his sycophants. There’s a reason the GOP is staying quiet on how catastrophic this is for our economy. They are benefiting personally.
