Conservatism is, as always, a complete failure of empathy, a lack of ability to recognise that if you don’t care about other people and you choose to put people who also don’t care about other people in charge, the people in charge simply and absolutely don’t care about you or your friends or your family.
Conservatives don’t understand that “them” and “us” are actually all just us.
If you thought Trump was ever going to help you or keep his word on anything, you are just aggressively, ferociously stupid. You knew EXACTLY what he was and was warned 1000 times what he was. You got told.
You dumbs fucks did this to yourselves, the unfortunate part is that they were not smart enough to understand what was really happening and what was going to happen.
The unfortunate part is all the misery they will cause for the good people (and I don't mean one political party or another).
The enshittification of the world (which has been happening for a while) is picking up speed because of these dumb fucks.
I mean, they will pay them. And then charge more for product to cover the additional cost. It's a lot easier to tolerate that in the short term if you're bigger.
I find it amusing they though they'd be safe from the increased tariffs under a de minimis limit. That's a thing that could have happened, but that tends to benefit small purchasers over large ones which is the opposite of GOP thinking and is also no something Trump et al had ever mentioned, so I don't know why they would expect it?
For anyone that doesn't know, de minimis is a tariff exception for small purchases, basically that it's not worth the administrative cost of levying the tariff for fiddling small change, so if it's a small enough shipment they won't bother.
You get exactly what you fucking deserve you stain on humanity. I pray you starve to death in the streets so everyone can see what your malicious selfishness has earned you.
Edit: downvote all you want, these monsters only understand empathy as applied to them, their continued living does nothing for humanity - their messy, miserable, self inflicted death for all to see might actually teach some people something.
From another post, in case you think my initial assessment too harsh -
If this dork were a REAL capitalist he’d know that money flows to where it is utilized most efficiently. Lesser enterprises are best killed off. Charming small businesses are for the weak!
Well he can get an exemption if he pays a $10 million consulting fee to Ballard Partners. I assume he's okay with that, because that's what he voted for.
it'll never cease to be hilariously ironic that conservatives love to call others naïve, as they themselves fail to realize that people will tell blatant lies in order to get votes
So he clearly shows he knows next to nothing butwhat he's been shovel fed. He's using trans in a verb form, which shows his ignorance very clearly. Maybe if he learned more or met some trans individuals (you see, it's an adjective in this sentence), he might understand more. But empathy is a sin, so can't do that. That Bible he knows 4 words from says so, he was told it said that, along with hating homosexuals and immigrants... jfc, I'm so sick of blatant stupidity. I can forgive ignorance, but wanton idiocy just flabbergasts me. We as humans crave knowledge and are by nature curious. Why some people are content to just sit like automatons and refuse to learn anything I just cannot comprehend.
The republicans came within a vote of defunding Obamacare in 2018 and have talked about kicking out immigrants for a generation. To say that neither of those things were on the ballot is incredibly naive.
It's a genuine mistake (/s), they thought that pro-business/anti-regulations would help their small business.
As with everything, they lied. It's about billionaires making more billions, at the expense of EVERYONE else - workers, but also other businesses. I'm convinced that all the rest, including the racism, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and overall bigotry are just tools to convince people to act against their own interests.
The de minimus exemption was never meant to be used as a loophole by any business, big or small. He's basically admitting tax fraud. "I bought lots of sub $800 orders to avoid paying taxes and it's the only thing that kept me profitable!"
