Original title: ‘Catastrophe’: Trump economy kills 1 in 3 jobs in deep-red Nebraska town
The leopards are so obese from the face eating that it is a miracle they continue to stuff themselves.
Yeah, so what? They voted for Trump to inflict pain, and he’s doing that. They’re getting what they wanted.
And you know what? If he was running again, they’d vote for him AGAIN. Anything to keep from voting for a Democrat, because Democrats are icky. Also Jesus.
That’s probably my favourite part of the whole thing. If he would run again, he would promise them their jobs back that sleepy joe and hussein obama took from them and they would cheer and shake their fat fists
Fuck 'em
Nice.
Hope they suffer.
Did anyone actually read the story?
Yeah, and i find it funny that these people voted for a party that consistently shits on climate change legislation and conservation efforts yet their entire livelihood is being wiped out due to drought condition caused by both climate change and lack of conservation.
Tbf they probably were worried about talk more left that we should reduce our meat consumption witch if happened would probably eventually cost them jobs too
Have COMPASSION! These Good Americans thought ONLY Trans kids and Brown people would be Affected! If they had KNOWN Trump would Ruin Their LIVES too they STILL would have Voted for Him! But STILL you Must have Compassion!
-Chuck Schumer!
Schmuck Schumer
Any basis for that comment?
Truth/Reality
Yeah they voted for trump
Too bad Chuck is the kind of guy that this sub wants us to vote for.
Too bad you stupid fucks constantly sink our party by inventing enemies that don’t exist.
Zero reason to even bring him up in this conversation.
Nobody thinks anyone should vote for Schmuck, he’s MAGA-Lite. But if it’s a choice between him, or any MAGA, then it has to be him.
What we really need is someone to primary him, and force him out in embarrassing and humiliating fashion. He deserves to go out in disgrace, with his legacy as the American Nero, who fiddled with insider trading and became wildly wealthy, as MAGA burned down America around us.
Pathetic! You are a pathetic little magat dweeb ! Your kind have betrayed America, and humanity, you grubby little germ !
Get fucked, losers.
Not “catastrophe”. Just “consequence”.
Well it sure is a good thing SNAP basically doesn’t exist anymore, otherwise these brain dead morons, these wayward souls, they’d have a chance to be tempted into becoming profligate hypocrites in another way!
You see, God, Trump, they’re the same thing, and this is all a good thing, because now they’ll have a chance to prove themselves before the sacrificial altar of capitalism, just as Jesus wanted.
Just uh, start a business or something, in the midst of a rapidly worsening economic depression, can’t be that hard, right?
Ironically, a decent chunk of the most successful businesses out there actually did start in an economic downturn, however I suspect survivorship bias is playing a role there.
You don’t need to suspect that, you need to be 1000% sure of that.
Even in good economic times, what is it, like 90% of newly started businesses fail in a year or two?
Yeah, the ‘start your own business!’ advice is yet another laughable boomerism, easily dismissed by a casual glance at any data from the last 50 years, but no, no, they know better than reality, donchaknow?
Just… yeah, I’m sure all the banks are really just itching to give out a $250,000 business startup loan right about now.
Not like bank failures have been steadily climbing, not like the credit markets are seizing up, bond markets going fucking haywire.
No no no, everything’s just fine.
… I suspect people are going to be very shocked to discover the differences between a recession and a depression.
History is apparently stupid though, learning from it is evidently a social faux pas… we just love continuously having to learn what mistakes look like by slamming our faces into them with reckless abandon.
Reading the article, seems a major reason this is happening is actually climate change, which of course these knuckleheads don’t believe in 🤦
It was a meat-packing plant that handles a significant portion of the beef processed in the whole country. Beef that we can’t really export anymore because Trump thinks trade deficit is the same thing as a credit card and RFK is trying to kill us all.
Climate change may have had a hand in the drought, but the proximate cause for this is much more likely Trump’s incompetent trade policy. If Tyson didn’t see a recession coming, they’d likely retooled the plant to something else rather than scuttle the whole thing.
I also read on another thread: many of the plant workers are immigrants and there’s been increasing tension between the workers and the “native” townies. So there’s a decent contingent of town folk who are happy the plant is closing, and think their communities will adjust to living without the plant workers spending their money locally.
“think” is a rather generous phrasing of what they’re doing.
Please don’t rain on this lib parade with a story of the actual victims.
Beef that we can’t really export anymore because carnism is fundamentally unsustainable and literally destroying the planet.
Yeah, and growing crops uses up vast swathes of land and tons of water, so what? We’re human and we need food, and we have to pay a price for that. The trick is to balance the benefit with the expense.
You aren’t looking for a solution, you are only interested in promoting your personal agenda, which people here aren’t interested in. If you don’t want to eat meat, that’s your free choice, but your self-righteousness is cringy.
Yeah, and growing crops uses up vast swathes of land and tons of water, so what?
Carnism is a major cause of the climate apocalypse, not a result.
don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you’re not strictly wrong, but too many humans being vegetarian would eventually have the same effect
I’ve always thought that was from the old military expression, 2 in the chest, 1 in the head.
I guess it depends on how you want to treat them, it’s nice to have options though
It really wouldn’t surprise me if the shocker originated from that phrase as well. 20 years ago it was almost an unofficial salute.
That’s called the Mozambique Drill. The more you know!
Yup! They’ve kinda pulled back on it because of the heartless nature of saying it. “Double tap” also to a lesser extent. I can’t remember what the new verbage is because I’ve been out a long time now and it was just starting to change as I was getting out.
As seen here. :)
Collateral is one of my favorite movies of all time!
Edit: there’s a puscifer song that references the Mozambique drill. “Conditions of my parole” it’s a great song on its own, but it’s a good story within a song.
The local bar tender is doing good this Christmas at least.
They’ll all blame Biden.
Probably because he continued all of Trump’s policies and didn’t do shit to stop him.
