Discussion: GM Lays Off 14.7K North American Workers, Puts 5 Plants Up For Closure

Other people’s suffering makes Trump smile.
He knows he is in charge and the Repubs will always stand behind him.

OK but Trump started claiming pretty much the second day they were opening new plants, and it went up and up—I think I’ve heard he’s claimed eight new car plants were being built, already open, whatever. So there’s going to be a kind of rip tide between his fantasies and this reality. Should be interesting. If you don’t want to miss it, follow Daniel Dale, he’s the foremost chronicler of Trump’s b.s.

ETA haha what’d I tell you

To be fair, it’s been since the last one that we fought alongside the Russians.

Well, the steel factories that are opening up will absorb these folks. If not that, then the coal industry is a growth point for jobs. So it will all work out in the long run. MAGA!

Doing my best to get into Trumpthink.

President “T” will be ready for war AND create new jobs with the Space Force, which will be coal powered, so even more jobs!

This is fake news, right?

God bless us, every one! Except for the working class – fuck them sideways! Have they no poorhouses? Have they no orphanages? Seriously, what do they add to the Trump Crime Family’s bottom line?

My old company did a small layoff two weeks before Christmas last year. A good friend with 40 years in was marched out of his office. He was actually supposed to get his award and presentation for hitting 40 a few days later. There was a lot of wrong in what they did. He passed a month later from a stroke from the financial and medical stress the job loss presented. A month after that, his wife also experienced a stroke.

But I am sure the powers that be put if off as just doing business.

I can think of 63,000,000 of them that richly deserve whatever terrible, torturous events befall them.

How do you think they’ll be raising the steam? Coal fired boilers, of course. And tRump will have to let in lots of Steve King’s cantaloupe calved illegal immigrants cause they’ll be the only ones strong enough to shovel coal into the fireboxes right through lift-off!

Do you think anybody at Rick Perry’s Department of Energy will think to mention the need for extra oxygen as they approach orbit, or will the Space Force just equip their vehicles with really big louver vents?
