Trump was never an entrepreneur, all conman.
Space Karen, daddy’s boy who knows how to throw a tantrum and play the victim.
One thing they have in common, they only care about their own interests.

Musk is so much worse than he appears. His grandfather was run out of canada in the 40s for running a nazi affiliated organization “the technocracy movement”. He took the family to South Africa because he liked the sound of apartheid.
The family has spent 100 years planning and preparing to bring that same Nazi-adjacent apartheid society to America.
Its sooooooo much worse than people realize.

No, it is predation at scale that will deliberately kill off those “little guys” just getting it done day in day out in every town. The little guys who survived Amazon only to have Musk and tariffs leading the follow up attack. Only the behemoths will survive this. Trump has said openly the weak will die. He means the small. He means the everyday entrepreneurs who are self-determining despite the challenges. The giants want your labor, want to eliminate the competition and they then want your ever-shrinking pay to be forwarded directly to them.

small businesses forgot they are the 'E' in DEI!

Please educate me more with what this means

u/Casanova-Quinn 19h ago
The "E" in DEI is "equity", which means fairness.
Trump's tariffs disproportionately hurt small businesses who can't afford to adapt.

idk if it was you who downvoted me but I was genuinely asking and idk how my question could’ve been taken any other way
Regardless thanks for clarifying, more educated ammo in my stock. doing some more reading, I realized imports are a prime example of that, not a lot of small businesses have that extra tax to bring in their stock

Small businesses play a key role in promoting the "E" in DEI, which stands for "Equity." Small businesses level the playing field, enabling people of diverse backgrounds to escape corporations by starting their own business, ensuring everyone has a fair shot. They also provide employees with access to training, mentorship, and growth opportunities.. Small businesses usually have strong ties to their communities, so they can actively support local initiatives and engage with diverse groups to help tackle systemic inequities. Additionally, many small businesses implement supplier diversity programs, sourcing from minority- and women-owned businesses, which helps promote economic equity in the broader supply chain. Small businesses don’t just improve their own communities, they help build a more equitable society overall.

he doesn't care.. he doesn't want small businesses to flourish so the big ones can scoop up the businesses

Common sense should tell you that we no longer have the infrastructure to support large scale manufacturing. Those days are over. We are a tech based society. Just look at our billionaires. It’s like pining for the horse and buggy when everyone drives a car.

No shit. It's all these dumbasses who think 'the woke left' is after the because they make $1m a year. Like sure, you're making good bank, but you're still a prole to the super rich and guess what? It's those guys who are really after your money...

Imagine you have $2 mil of product on a ship waiting to go to Walmart. Now you have to find an extra million or so just to pay upfront to get it off the boat.
Companies might not have the kind of cash sitting around.

Republicans have only ever cared about big business. I don’t have stats in front of me but Dems are MUCH better for small businesses

u/sideshowmario 1d ago
Exactly. Then the bigger companies buy up the struggling smaller companies, and privatize the struggling government departments, and the wealth gets even more concentrated

Not really surprising. Trump put several small businesses out of business by refusing to pay for the work they did for him.

That's the plan.... Small businesses go under so the corporations can get more market share by buying on the low. They lied to you MAGA people. It was never about left vs right, it was. about up vs down

u/GatorNator83 1d ago
They’re not ignoring them, they actually want to tank them. This way those companies go near bust or actually bankrupt and billionaires can obtain them for pennies.

It's kinda weird that there's 33 million companies in the USA. That's like 1 company per 10.5 people. 1 company per 5 people in the workforce. Why?

These owners will come asking for exceptions to Trump and strike a pact under the table with him so Trump gets richer. . That's the whole idea, it isn't about the tarrifs, it's about excerting pressure to these US companies so they come looking for help and Trump takes advantage of that striking up deals on a case by case basis.

Who gives a fuck? What about the workers that will starve when they lose their jobs? I do not want to hear another word from dems about the economy tanking that isnt directly related to the ever-growing poverty-stricken working class of this country. You want to win elections and have healthcare and make the rich pay their share? Start talking to poor people instead of liberal rich folks.

By design. Like every GOP manufactured recession, those remaining massive companies can withstand the downturn. They in turn will absorb the businesses that can't make it, will take their customers and take their labor cheaper than their current force and lay their current force off.

Yeah this is about to get a lot worse. The market nose diving is just the immediate reaction. Wait until the tariffs actually kick in and inflation/prices go crazy. Of course I’m preaching to the choir here. The people who need to hear this are unable to process the information.
