making yourself employable doesn’t mean shit when the local community faces economic collapse since they are floating on top of the economic output of a single factory. Dude good luck finding a job with all the millions of other people moving to places where the work will be.
Also I wonder what he thinks the long term gains are? Dude thinks the economy is a muscle that needs to experience stress to get stronger. In the long term other countries will stop doing business with America, since they found more reliable partners.
Hurting minorities as always
Destroying the economy on the off chance that it might also hurt minorities…
It works, but…
It’s crazy that people will destroy their own lives just to tell trans people which bathroom to use. 🙄
Also I’m sure this LITERAL EXACT SAME GUY: “what Democrats don’t understand is that socialism can’t work because everyone at the end of the day is selfish and our country should run based on that assumption” also: “utilitarianism is evil and what the Nazis did if you believe in that you can excuse any terrible action with ‘its for the greater good’.” (That’s a common type of excuse for anti-abortion people)
Hope he suffers as much as
humanelyhumanly possible. He voted for an anti-democratic felon rapist to own the libs. As far as I’m concerned he’s a traitor.the LOL means that they are not whining
Trump: I have concepts of a plan.
This guy: Oh boy, I hope those concepts survive his term!
Cutting off your own arm to “own the libs”. Nice job! Glad to know some people are so proud to vote against their interests. Keep it up!
Wholly cucked
“They skinned my children alive while they made me sit and watch. But ya know what? I’m glad they did that. It’s what’s best for the country. Plus it builds character, and I’ll have a great story to tell my children one d….oh right”

What a priviledged take. (their downvoted reply)
Jump into the volcano, wackos.
Sounds like a Democrat.
How?
Trump could cut this guy’s nuts off and he’d still find a way to put a positive spin on it
He’s been sold on a fundamentally holistic view of the economy. “This may be uncomfortable now, but I trust it will produce a large national windfall in the future”.
It isn’t a bad attitude to have on its face. People do need to accept certain short term discomforts in order to achieve long term economic benefits, whether that means working industrial jobs to produce new useful infrastructure or risking personal health/safety in military conflicts to establish national security or curbing consumption to avoid long term ecological harm.
But the mass media this guy is ingesting is bullshit. So the benign “we’re investing in the future” perspective is corrupted into a gullible “my local neighborhood wallet inspector is just helping to remove these counterfeit bills from the money supply” political apathy.
He’s the victim of an intense, industrial scale propaganda campaign.
Incidentally…

Hey, that trickle down is gonna happen any day now, exactly as promised!
“Trickle Down” is patterned, as a sales pitch, to sound like a Capitalist New Deal. Its the same pitch line, except its keyed to an audience that’s been drubbed over the head with “The government can’t be trusted to do anything nice for you” forty years after the New Deal and Great Society programs have gone stale.
You want modernized infrastructure? You want domestic growth? You want luxury consumer goods? Let private investment work its magic.
And, in fairness, we are now awash in privatized infrastructure, a staggeringly bloated finance sector, and mountains of cheap consumerist babbles well within the reach of the median consumer. The trickle came down. In 1980, a full wall of custom themed Marvel Branded Bobble-heads would have cost you a fortune. Now you can get it on a fry cook’s salary.
The indoctrination system has people willing to suffer and die for their gods.
That guy is choking on copium. Downing in it.
There is no such thing as “gains” here, long or short term. This is 100% bad.
If you want more local production, you incentivize that, not hugely disincentivize everything else.
What do you mean? There are plenty of gains to be had…
…for the already rich and powerful.
