    Look, factory jobs are important and they do help keep everything running, but it's one thing to want to work those jobs and have a sense of pride. It's another thing to try to pigeonhole people into thinking it's the ONLY choice, which is what this is implying.

    Fuck all the way off with this shit.

    It's almost as if the elitists now "running" our government have never heard of the French Revolution......

    When they talk factory jobs they don't mean well paid skilled labor. Mind numbing body damaging repetitive low pay work. People who do that hope their children won't have to.

    Yeah isn’t the modern American dream literally along the lines of having as many dolls as you want/earn and for your children to have a better life than you? They are quite frankly saying the American dream is dead.

    I love modeling our country after North Korea.

    No kid needs twenty dolls. That will just spoil them and create a sense of entitlement.

    But, yeah it's an apt metaphor for the death of the American dream.

    Sure no one needs them nor do grown men need boats and quads and jeeps but IMO if they worked for it they can have whatever they want. That’s all I mean.

    Not by accident Trumpers keep using examples of ridiculous number of dolls. Who plays with dolls? Little girls. Weak, silly spoiled, unimportant, crying little girls. Anyone who complains about price hikes or shortages due to tariffs is just acting like a little girl.

    Walmart announced they are raising prices due to Trump tariffs.

    Got groceries today. So much of what I need for baking is imported. Sugar, vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, ginger, many nuts. The cheap olive oil I get to polish stainless steel has gone up. I wouldn't ever eat that stuff. Aluminum for foil.

    So, the big beautiful budget got bounced today because the guys who voted against it didn’t think it was awful enough to folks on Medicaid and clean energy programs? Gotta cut that deficit somehow without making the rich pay their share.

    The gold:blue ratio is too low.

    We are so fucked and we have 3.5 years left of this shit.

    If you voted for Trump, this is your fault. You are to blame for everything.

    I blame the democratic committee for flat out losing to a guy they should have beat handily. I hope there is a change in leadership and strategy for 2028, if there isn't then we a fucked for the long haul.

    I'm surprised Trump hasn't put tariffs on English Muffins and French Fries.

    European imports aren't just French wine and Swiss cheese. I just learned most European imports are manufacturing intermediates, precision parts, tools and components. American manufacturers will pay more due to Trump tariffs,asking American manufactured goods less competitive on world market due to higher prices.
    Because in Trump's demented senile minds America was great during McKinley term late 19th century. When the citizenry was white, women couldn't vote, and tariffs caused massive recession. So he starts trade wars with allies and crashes economy.
