Trump Has Promised to Build More Ships. He May Deport the Workers Who Help Make Them.
Trump Has Promised to Build More Ships. He May Deport the Workers Who Help Make Them.
President-elect Donald Trump has promised to increase the pace of U.S. military shipbuilding. But his pledge to also clamp down on immigration could make it hard for shipyards already facing workforce shortages.
Jesus Christ, even ProPublica is doing the "he might not do it" thing? Have he and all of his surrogates not repeated themselves enough yet?
"But what about last time! The guard rails worked! It won't be that bad.”
Meanwhile every single guard rail is 50 miles behind us.
There's literally someone making that argument right now. "The genocide isn't going to happen, they're just lying about it" is the most dangerous possible position to take right now.
Everybody has to use the "maybe he does, maybe he doesn't". His unreliability is a feature not a bug.
It is far from just Trump boasting in this case. And they are already acting on it. New Jersey is expanding its camps, and Texas donated land to build camps there too.
This is just not a "maybe" situation.
duh. they will use ai powered by the blockchain currency reserve. My god can know one think in more than three dimensions!!! do I really need to type it. I dunno. I feel I should not but then again. fine. /s
He'll just have Musk make them all.
"let that SINK in"
Mass deportation is obviously problematic for many reasons, but negatively impacting the profit margins of the Military Industrial Complex isn't one of them.
Increasing salaries of American workers by making labor scarce is the purpose of restrictive immigration policy.
But it's just another way things will implode economically.
The "implosion" of oligarchs profit margins isn't something any of us need to worry about. Over the short term, the vast majority of us will benefit from it - like 90% of the population stands to gain, 10% will break even, and the billionaires will see their income reduced.
In the long run, putting more disposable income into the hands of working Americans will be a driver of economic growth.

Increased salaries directly cut into profits. or drive prices up. Either way, the military-industrial complex will feel the pinch. And reducing the supply of labor only drives up wages when there are other people willing to do the job. While I'd like to see hundreds of thousands of MAGA whack-jobs picking lettuce in Salinas, it's not going to happen.
Why does the media cover Trump's promises? He's a habitual liar.
Because, unfortunately, everything he says has real world implications. It's exhausting.
