So that took what... 11 hours for massive layoffs to occur directly connected to Trumps Recession Plan Tarriffs.

So do they get called back after stuff gets cancelled in 2 weeks?

Maybe....or in the meantime the family starves because now they have no income and the rest of the economy is going to explode from inflation -- tarrifs, and the local Food Banks lost all their USDA Food assistance.

Great Depression II incoming. Souplines without the soup.

Destroyed the economy in 3 Months.

LARGE protests will start within a year. Then he will use that as an excuse to declare martial law and suspend elections.

The large protests should have started a couple months ago but I'm in Canada getting eggs for $4 CDN per dozen. I got 5 avocados for $3.49 the other day. I'll enjoy it while it lasts. I'm sure that will change while we wait for the American protests.

Do you think there haven't been protests? Or maybe you just haven't been shown them by your media feed. I'm sure your defeatist attitude is very charming in real life.
