    Heartbreaking.

    I can’t stop crying about this redcap’s 23% loss in profits. Never mind that I’m not sure whether my Social Security disability will continue at all (it’s been delayed the last couple of months, to the point I can’t afford ramen right now) or that they’re building interment camps. Or that my doctors say Medicare won’t allow my prescriptions anymore unless I can travel the hour and a half to physically show up at their office, which I cannot do since I’m 100% homebound and Medicare has suddenly decided they’re not allowing remote visits anymore, so I’ll have to stop taking lifesaving meds I’ve been on for 20 years.

    But yes, this guy’s 23% profit loss will keep me up tonight.

    You can still take solice in knowing that you “owned some libs” though. That just makes the whole thing worth it, doesn’t it?

    This is just like Chinese Cultural Revolution. That destroyed their economy and it took them a few decades to rebuild.

    It is easier to destroy but hard to build…I hope they learned their lesson.

      I doubt it. They will later have all kinds of apologists explaining how donvict just didn’t do his idiocy HARD enough. That’s assuming we even still have elections and the Republicans feel any need whatsoever to “explain” their cult leader’s actions.

      But I watched these dipshits in the wake of Ronnie Raygun’s destruction, and no, they ain’t going to learn shit.

        The vast majority of them won’t learn anything. They are just looking to blame someone right now. Next election (if there is one) some dem will say something they hate, things will be better for them, and they are right back on the trump train.

        Most of them are too far gone, in the cult, and listen to nothing but the propaganda. Any soft realization will quickly be forgotten when they are told how it’s the other sides fault b

      Yep this is “Trump’s Great Leap Forward” and we should start referring to it as such.

        Chickens are at least more likely to be useful. That is more of an accident than anything, seeing as Trump and Mao are just different shapes of crap.

    “FreightWaves is the most trusted provider of global supply chain market intelligence. Our high-frequency price, demand, and capacity data and analysis allow our customers to benchmark, analyze, monitor and forecast the global physical economy.”

    Ironic. Although I guess their data wouldn’t be very good at analyzing someone picking up the economy, turning it upside down and giving it a good shake.

      If only someone with some level of responsibility at Freightwaves bothered to google “tariffs” before donating and voting for the Tupperware face.

    I did not vote for a neutron bomb to wipe out supply chains and small businesses…

    Yes you did jackass. People like him are the reason I don’t have a job anymore.
