A new morning in America

Amen, brothers and sisters

In lieu of General Motors having record profits and yet still closing plants and laying off up to 14,000 people, a Fox Business News pundit this past week wondered just how long it would be before Americans woke up to capitalist bullshit and elected not just a Democratic Socialist to the Presidency, but a gee, by golly actual Socialist.

My guess is not too long--especially after all the folks who voted for Trump thinking he'd bring the good manufacturing jobs back realize he's not bringing the good manufacturing jobs back and is only there to further enrich himself and America's wealthy elite.

And considering that Fox has been has been championing the republican agenda of subsidizing the wealthy with our tax dollars since Jesus was a cub scout, I'm going to thoroughly enjoy that bit of schadenfreude.

Fuck Donald Trump,

What's good for General Motors is good for America...

More good paying jobs lost...

...or not.

General Motors announced yesterday that it will be closing as many as five plants and laying off over 14,000 employees--and in doing so, also noted that Donald Trump's misguided steel tariffs had cost GM over a billion dollars.  Two of those plant closing are here in my home of Dtroit--and one of them, the Warren plant, is roughly thirty minutes from where I live.

It will not be a Merry Christmas for the families of those losing their jobs.  Or the businesses that those workers support with the strong wages they receive from said jobs.

I don't think it's an accident that now almost three years into the Trump Administration--after the Herculean efforts by President Obama and his Administration to save the auto industry--that once again good paying jobs are disappearing under republican leadership.  The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer isn't a bug of conservatism, it's a feature.

Maybe someday it's base will recognize this and start to dig themselves out of the hole republicans have been throwing them into for the last thirty years.

Fuck Donald Trump,
