Agreed, and incidentally many of the forces at work got loose in corporate America at the boardroom level a couple of decades ago, which is how the obsessive focus on maximizing shareholder value ultimately destroyed quite a lot of shareholder value a few years later. And now a lot of those behaviors have gone away, and there are a whole new set of bad ones that the market punish in due time. 
So I'm not trying to give everyone else a pass or assert that the legal profession is uniquely in crisis. However,  I'm just a tradesman, and so is every business person in America. The market is not fair and is not fast, but ultimately it will correct behavior that isn't profitable, productive or sustainable. Business people are subject to the law, and to regulation, but are ultimately subject to the market, whether they like it or not. I do believe that lawyers, on the other hand, have a unique obligation that comes with admission, because the law itself is an alternative to extrinsic forces and individual action/ 

Hence I’m not on the ledge.  Trump will fuck those who voted for him harder than those who didn’t in many, if not most, instances.

Same here and I'm waiting for it.  I also don't think he'll do much.  I'm in Big Retail and the economy would collapse almost immediately if he deported anywhere close to what he's talking about.  The Corporate Republicans won't allow that.

Part of my hopes he does it, though, just to show people what happens if you fuck around.

Yep.

See, the dumbasses who voted for him think that Trump is going to serve up a tailored, single serving of fuckery, aimed only at the people they hate.  What they are too fucking stupid to realize is that Trumpery is a massive layer cake of fuckery, "at levels no one has ever seen before."

 

Eat up, Trumpers.  Oh, and when you dig in, enjoy -- that isn't icing between the layers, it's pure spreadable shit.  DIG IN.

Pretty sure one of dotard's campaign promises was cutting insurance premiums in half.

I think that the ultra-upper class is convinced the way forward is with less humans, way way less humans.  They dream of the world as basically a huge theme park and only want enough minions around to keep the park secure, tidy and running.  The less humans, the more food, the less consumption of natural resources, less trash, etc, and after 100 years like that the earth is reset into some idyllic place.  

The fastest way there would be nuciear, but that would be too damaging to the planet and leave lingering radiation.  The next fastest would be to go for global economic collapse leading to something akin to Mad Max.  And those bands can be taken out in time.   

This thought was put into my head by a guy who used to be pretty liberal and now is full blown Trumpkin thanks to Q-anon.   He might have this one right, which would be the first one ever.  But it does make sense.  And it's doable to a certain degree, especially if you can pull it off Wizard of Oz style, so no one ever sees it coming until it's here.  What would be your first move if you were them?  Pit the lower classes against each other?

 

So why are Elon and every other economist out there saying we're not producing enough babies in the US? They know the only way for the US to continue to grow GDP is to have more people fueling the economy. They don't like the "imported" people even though they're the most cost-efficient and can be abused more.

See... If you go to that Kroger, you are likely to come out: 

1. In a wheelchair (could be governor) 

2. Without a leg.

3. Blek.

If this helps get rid of the people in the GOOF Kroger, sign me up.

Back to tarifs and Trump voters. So all those dudes hating immigrants and want Buy US to be the way forward, well guess where your truck was made?

Ebrard warned the tariffs would lead to massive U.S. job losses, lower growth and hit U.S. companies producing in Mexico by effectively doubling the taxes they paid. "The impact on companies is huge," he said.

The proposed tariffs would hit the automotive sector's top cross-border exporters especially hard, Ebrard added, namely Ford (F.N) General Motors (GM.N), opens new tab and Stellantis (STLAM.MI)

Ebrard noted that 88% of pickup trucks sold in the U.S. are made in Mexico and would see a price increase. These vehicles are popular in rural areas that overwhelmingly voted for Trump.

“Our estimate is that the average price of these vehicles will increase by $3,000,” Ebrard said.

He'll probably get pressured to back off the tariffs but he'll make some grandiose speech about how he's a man of the people and listened to them and won't impose tariffs and the morons will all celebrate and call it the greatest presidential move in the history of this country. That's how this works.

What these rubes never grasped is that Trump is solely focused on one thing:  helping the 1% that funded his reelection (and fattening his own pockets). The billionaire elite class.  That’s it.  Everything Trump does going forward will be for the benefit of the wealthiest of the wealthy.  And if you’re not in that group, i.e., in the remaining 99%, you’re going to get fucked.  It doesn’t matter if you voted for Trump or not.  You’re going to find out after you fucked around and voted for Trump because you wanted to own the libs. He used you to get reelected, now you’re going to be tossed out like yesterday’s trash.

I honestly don’t think that pricing plays a role in pickup truck demand. Those things are stupid expensive and it has no impact on the number of people who don’t need them buying them.
