It's kind of annoying that 51 people lost their jobs to tariffs and they only write an article about the rich guy at the top of the family empire. But I'm sure that the 50 other families' quests for food and shelter and medicine were pretty boring compared with the breakage of the boss's money-generating machine he inherited.
Granted, he is the one who most deserves the leopardsatemyface recognition.
They probably mostly voted for Trump too. But yeah, the rich guy gets the article.
You realize the takeaway form this is people know he's a rapist and still support their king right?
40% approval rating btw
It gets worae, they supoort him raping their daughters
"What if a liberal raped your daughters?"
conservatives will overlook rapist/SA/Child abuse if it gets thier rocks off on culture war issues, plus many supporters are often the above mentioned themselves, or have predilections towards the deviancies.
"The government you elect, is the government you deserve."
he says his decision was knuckle-based. and he'd do it again
“I voted for Trump all three times. Yep. I did,” he admits. “But I literally was in the voting booth. And I rapped my knuckles and the Trump one hurt more, and that was the one that I voted for. Because it was just, it was so disgusting and, and I hate to say that, but that’s literally how I made that choice.”
Even after losing his business to Trump’s policies, he stands by his vote: “Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would’ve voted for President Trump again.”
Wild. That's fucking wild. I'm out here putting thought into my vote and this cunt is rattling his knuckles. We are cooked as a species.
The biggest problem with voting is that each voter's own choice has a huge externality relative to average personal consequences. So selfish people have an incentive to vote with their tribe and not put any further thought into it.
You're being "irrationally" altruistic by actually considering multiple candidates. As bad as losing his business is, this schmuck was more afraid of being ostracized by his fascist peers.
At yet, somehow, this guy's vote is still Kamala's fault. 🙄
Hungarian here, my mother's boyfriend is still a Fidesz supporter after losing his business due to losing some tax exemptions. Long story short: it's cheaper to run a single person LLC than to be self-employed, because our politicians in the nineties totally ate the propaganda, that "CEOs once were very hard working workers, just got promoted for their hard work to be CEOs". He however did not had the money to save up for an LLC.
Bet that guy has a big family and is well on his way to having great grandchildren from at least one wife
Great filter here we come
His bottom statement is more relevant. He gave zero shits about policy, party, or politics, he was just focused on the people running.
One a black woman former prosecutor. One a corrupt white male felon.
He said he was always going to vote for the latter.
Serves the dumb cunt right.
Natural selection.
Maybe not everyone does deserve and equal vote in a democracy actually. Or in the case of America his is literally worth more than mine because of where he lives -_-.
“ To hear nature in a sawmill instead of machines… for any lumberman, that’s unnatural. I don’t want to sound overly dramatic, but it’s as unsettling as watching a loved one take their final breath.”
This guy is blubbering over the fact that he can hear the birds in his shop. He thinks that’s akin to someone in his family dying. Were it coming from any other person it would be “snowflake soy boy” behavior.
Though since his family is just as important as his shop, if he brings one of the younger girls to trump, he might be able to do a little tradie-poo with him.
It’s all enormously pathetic.
So he was a business owner and he made a decision without looking into the minutia of that decision. Really great boss there, I'm sure the business was going fine before Trump.
Seriously if you're a business owner and you voted for Trump then you're double plus stupid. It was blindingly obvious from the outside that the guy was unstable and his policies, workable, it really didn't require much in the way of political investigation. Yet, even that level of political awareness was apparently beyond the capabilities of this idiot.
What really gets me is that these people are trying to make it out, as if they were in some way lied to. Nothing could be further from the truth, I don't even live in America and even I knew what Trump was offering, so how are these people claiming ignorance?
Yeah. That’s eastern NC for you. Where this place is at, not a lot of job opportunities either. The paper mill is about it.
This is also in an area where the local restaurants have nothing but newsmax on the tvs.
Enjoy the day you voted for....
Because at the bottom of the article he states that he stands by his vote and would make that vote again.
Because the alternative would be to accept responsibility for one's own incompetence. Can't do that.
This but unironically. The combination of narcissism these people suffer from and Sunk Cost Fallacy's one helluva drug.
Well, at least Trump's making bank. Big time.
Maybe y'all should just work harder.
/s!!!
That's a shame. ANYWAY . . .
What does a lumber mill import so much of that tariffs causes it to shut down? -If they're importing raw wood, then that just seemed irresponsible to start with.
It probably has more to do with other countries adding terrifs on lumber exports in response. Maybe it's the cost of importing parts and materials needed for the process, though.
Bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve.
Should I care, because I don't.
Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions!
