Something that's been on my mind recently, and I've voiced it as a response to @sue, isn't it odd that LinkedIn, a website for workers, doesn't include ✊ as one of the emoji reactions?

Hm.

#JaguarLandRover, based in Britain, said it would temporarily stop exporting its luxury cars to the US. #Stellantis idled factories in #Canada & #Mexico that make Chrysler & Jeep vehicles & laid off 900 US #workers who supplied those factories w/engines & other parts.

#Audi, the luxury division of #Volkswagen, also paused exports of cars to the #US from #Europe, telling dealers to sell whatever they still had on their lots.

“We’ve had a lot of devastating days, but this really is unfathomable. It’s astounding, it will affect patients with all kinds of different kinds of infections, and Americans will suffer, and people will die, and that’s a horrible thing to see coming.”

~ Wendy Armstrong, director of infectious diseases at the University of Colorado

They are not serious people.

#Indiana Sen. Jim Bank calls a fired HHS worker a clown when the voter asks him a question.

Poor constituent service reflects Bank's allegiance to the oligarchs and not ordinary people.

'Awful April' will see a range of corporate price raises for vital services feeding through into inflation.... but, the BoE/MPC are unlikely to yell about corporate profiteering, they'll continue to talk about 'inflationary pressures', and will then seek to find a way to make this about continuing wage rises not the 'maintenance' of profits.

its a pincer movement between interest rates & living costs engineered by a political class seeking to 'discipline' workers into quiescence

"Sources also tell WIRED that Musk has wanted a government shutdown—an aim that runs contrary to the White House’s stated desire to avoid one—in part because it would potentially make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers, essentially achieving a permanent shutdown."

"With Trump we are facing even more potential economic pain because Trump is combining tariffs-which are a tax on consumers—with massive cuts to federal spending and layoffs in the area of 20% of the federal workforce."

"You don’t need a PhD in Economics to understand that when an economy is slowing, cutting federal spending, causing massive layoffs and increasing taxes by way of tariffs are a recipe for financial disaster. ...

Trump just updated Marie Antoinette’s infamous line 'Let them eat Cake' when told that her subjects could not afford bread to, 'Let them drive Teslas.'”

“I’m going to say this at risk of my job. But what President Trump is doing is insane. It is absolutely insane. It is about the eighth reason we’ve had for the tariffs. …

Insanity is not a strategy. I’m sorry."

"So, the stock market’s been sliding like bacon grease on a hot griddle. On Monday and Tuesday all three major indices had their worst days since August, and fears of a looming recession are already here. And only 50 days into Dear Leader’s reign!"

"Before our eyes, Trump and Republicans are dismantling our democracy in service of white supremacy, Putin, and billionaires like Musk. They are breaking it down and selling all the parts to the highest bidder. It’s all quid pro quo, baby. MAGA goes along with it because they’re part of a radicalized cult fed a 24-7 drip of misinformation."

"That is at the heart of Trump’s war on his own followers: They cheer for him, but they depend on the government programs liberals built and liberals sustain. If sacrificing their wellbeing (or in some cases their very lives) is what it takes to destroy the government’s ability to serve the citizenry, that’s exactly what Trump, Musk, and Republicans will do."
