This story is a couple of days old, but I just came across it.
Once again, a story about the disaster that is Trump's tariff policy.
There is little doubt that some of these folks voted for Trump. As such, it is hard to feel very compationate for them given that they were warned.
That said, I do feel sorry for the "non Trumpers" that will suffer any children that will also suffer due to their parents lack of intelligence. As usual, "others" always pay for Trump's mistakes.

Trumpers won't care until it impacts them personally. Until then it's all worth the other guys pain.

So much winning, please stop Mr. president.

Don't worry. These layoffs are only transitory.

Yup eventually Trump will be gone and the economy will start to recover

Yeah well transitory can be a hell of along time and that "transitory" time might be significant to the person who lost their job.

Eventually people die, true.

Thanks for proving my point in post #2

No, transitory would mean beyond government control, like supply chain openings, for example. This is the result of a deliberate act. It can't be transitory.

 

[OrphanSlug]

Winning! Oh, wait... shit.

 

[CaughtInThe]

Idiots

Will the bank that holds their mortgages accept that instead of payment?

The Volvo truck division announced the same thing last week. This is just the beginning folks.

Easy when it's someone else, innit?

 

[BirdinHand]

So sad to see these self-inflicted wounds.

But . People from left, center and right tried to warn voters of what was to come

Maybe Trump will just forgive those loans with student money.

"As gCaptain, a shipping industry news outlet, reports, despite having a strong Q1, the Port of Los Angeles and other U.S. ports are bracing themselves for a drastic drop in cargo arriving from overseas, as well as fewer exports. According to the latest Global Port Tracker report, a 19-month pattern of growth is expected to end, with May seeing a 20.5% drop in cargo volume. June isn't expected to be any better, with volumes also expected to drop in July and August."

Well, that spells it out.

It's only logical. You slap unexpected expenses on shipping and shipping recedes.

When enough market functions recede we will enter recession.

Dangerous Donald Did us dumbly.

I have no idea what you mean

Don't worry, you said. The layoffs are only 'transitory'. It's easy to be sanguine about it when it's someone else laid off.
All those people who got laid off were working there because they need the income, right? Think they might be worried, for good reason?

PROSPERITY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

For two years now we've been assured good times are on the way,​

I wonder how much longer we must hear them talk this way?​

​

Prosperity is just around the corner!(3)​

{What we'd like to know is which corner?}​

{We've turned so many corners now we're dizzy.}​

But still I'm positive we'll soon be busy!​

​

Why I read in Monday's paper that 10,000 men were hired!​

{Yes, but Tuesday they forgot to say 12,000 more were fired.}​

Well, I insist that this land of ours is stable!​

{Stable? sounds like horses to me!}​

​

Prosperity is just around the corner!​

{Did you say corner or coroner?}​

Our credit is still strong, no one can doubt it!​

{I guess my landlord don't know about it.}​

​

I see the market is going up, now you can't call that a joke!​

{I recollect one time before it went clear up in smoke.}​

This slump is just mostly imagination!​

{Yeah, well you just try to pay your grocery bill with that!}​

I wasn't being sanguine. I was offering the same empathy the left offered when they lied about the crushing inflation that they caused.

If there a way for Trump to make a buck off of doing that, you may be on to something.

iow, just about

EVERYONE who ain't a Trumpco customer​

weird

Alas it's another liberal magic wand post.

While 100 million MagaMorons continue to fester. The liberal answer is "poof" gone. Presto magic, just like that!

Trump, MagaMericans and the RW billionaires will never surrender power again, not by an election alone. Right now Trump's feds are targeting the states for their voter registration rolls to make sure Democrats are outnumbered decisively.

Trump is not going to leave office again. The peaceful transition of power is dead and gone.

You say that like that is a bad thing
