bankruptcy protects companies/lawyers etc just not workers gm will be fine if they go under

bankruptcy doesn't protect them from having to find a new supplier? they can have all the long-term contracts in the world but once the company goes under the contracts are dead

nobody is buying a contract that is no longer profitable thanks to tariffs. and if the price is renegotiated then GM didn't save anything from offloading the risk, in fact having to switch suppliers is extra hassle.

maybe that company "adds value" somehow in dealing with the chinese, maybe it lets GM claim they're using "american" parts or something, idk

basically, yeah. they’re convinced that their lives suck because of undeserving people taking stuff that should be theirs, and trump campaigned on stopping that. the only way they get stuff is social security, ergo if trump keeps his promises their social security will go up.

I had a job where I had to deal with a lot of olds who loved campaign trump and this is pretty much how they think, yes.


The reality of the situation is much funnier now tho because plenty of them have been hosed over by his policies and bitch about it endlessly.

Best part is true believer chuds who think he's "still getting a handle on it".

That's not welfare, though - they're just getting back a little of what they've put into the system through all their hard work. Just ask them!

Performing quality control on Chinese manufacturing is in no way a do-nothing job.

News coverage needs to stop with the interviews with old white retirees in diners and asking MAGA chuds what Trump could possibly do to lose their support and just start turning into this thread, where we bring up more and more humiliating (hypothetical) situations where Trump would destroy their lives completely and then get them to admit they would take it like a bitch and still vote for him.

Would Trump lose your support if his tariffs create a trade war that results in you losing your job?
Would you still support Trump if he cut the social programs you depend on and your family died of starvation?
Would you still support Trump if your spouse was abducted by ICE agents for ordering at Chipolte and you never heard from or saw them again?
Would Trump lose your support if he confused diabetes with some drug addiction and made insulin illegal to produce or sell?
Would Trump lose your support if your daughter died in botched back alley abortion after he shutdown Planned Parenthood and it came out that he, himself, had paid for several abortions to porn stars he raw dogged?
Would Trump lose your support if he poo poo in your face? Not "on," "in."
Would you still support Trump if he pushed you into oncoming traffic because he was in a rush to take a big McDonald's poo poo?

And then just break out into mocking laughter every time, because nothing will stop them from being a born sucker.

There's a fair amount of regressive shithead Italian-Americans.
I swear sometimes the white ethnics are more racist than the wasps can dream of, like a residual instinct left over from the process of earning white status is to come down hard on the people lower on the totem.

Like the Northeastern version of the Southern caste system of poor whites being hyper racist because they needed that knowledge and assurance that they were better than someone else.
