here’s the thing about the fucking tariffs. besides Unfairly Punishing Our FUCKING ALLIES YOU MORON- okay okay. anyway. the other thing
the other thing is that we have no manufacturing here
most of the fabric I buy to make my clothes is made overseas. I would actually love to buy wool from a local, unionized woolen mill! I’d be pleased as punch to do that! it’s better for the environment and creates good local jobs that don’t have a barrier of entry re: college degrees, which we need more of!
exceptwe don’thave any more fucking woolen mills because your billionaire ilk outsourced all of them to avoid union rules, OSHA, and paying minimum wage, when those things became commonplace and/or law. you orange fuckface
“buy American instead!!!” okay FROM FUCKING WHERE. we don’t MAKE shit here anymore. and the few remaining local producers have been forced to charge exorbitant prices because they’re competing with cheap unethical labor practices from big companies, so most people can’t afford to buy local
god it’s all so fucking stupid and I have to suffer for other people’s idiocy that I actively tried to prevent
It’s so nice being on tumblr because you don’t even have to make your own post but people would still follow you anyways if you’re good at rebloging posts they like
just saw that the supreme court voted nine-zip to uphold the court order to “facilitate the return of” kilmar garcia back to the states. do you have any idea how bad you gotta fuck up to get these nine people in particular to all agree you fucked up???
It’s a sad sad day when the bar is so low that “SCOTUS unanimously agrees that lawful American residents are entitled to basic due process/habeas corpus and protection from being illegally deported to terrorist prison and therefore should be returned to their family by the Gestapo ICE” counts as genuinely good news, but uhhhh, here we fuckin are.
