Oh, no. Please don't tariff one of the most evil corporations in the country, whose malfeasance and greed have led to dozens of deaths, including the assassination of multiple whistleblowers. Whatever you do, don't do that.

>Airbus subject to tariffs.
Yes, for the ones built in the EU. However, there is a plant in Alabama cranking out A320 series aircraft. 737 operators in the EU will never let this happen.

I like how the subtitle is “inside the living rooms of notable New Yorkers” when they’re all nobodies with the exception of the handful of people highlighted in the tweet.

There’s one actually notable New Yorker that they left out who actually has an impressive living room:

that plant must be a bitch to take care of tho?
 
After seeing this horrible trade deal UK agreed to with India, including tax free, literal replacement workers, I sure hope the US makes sure whatever India deal means we sent a cargo container of poos back for every container imported. When I saw how eager India was to make a zero tariff deal I had to believe there was some other catch, Peter Navarro better make sure they do not redeem.

(it's Applebee's manager but a concise rundown)

That's not the funny part. The funny part is them pretending that they haven't been doing this since they founded Airbus.

In today’s world, manufacturing unions only make sense for companies that have some special intellectual property that they successfully keep hidden from chicoms. For everyone else, those union dues aren’t going to make the boss give you a raise that will put the company in red.

The margins really aren’t big. When we have a good year, the boss cuts impromptu bonuses instead of going up a tax bracket. Also, you still get fired for no call no show, and if you show up stinking of weed, go fuck yourself, you retarded child. Nobody should pay when you lose a hand or an eye or whatever

I'm talking about my place of work. Average of 10% daily rate no call no show at the factories (came up in union negotiations last year). Only drug test if there's an injury accident or upon hiring.

Oh wow. I love how information asymmetry disappears when American liberals try to own the Orange Man.

Serious question does anyone really want to fuck AOC? I keep hearing people talk about how "Hot" she is, which physically is true. Its just that whenever she opens her mouth her any sex appeal goes out the window.

Didn’t see this before.

Like aspirationally want to fuck, as in hopes, dreams, goals, etc? No.

But if she manages to avoid flashing her teeth or making any emphatic facial expressions, it could be a “would.”

Doesn’t hurt that in such a scenario, you’d get to watch her rationalize the whole thing, like “no this is different, I’m not being a whore.. wait actually it’s not different.. damn the patriarchy!!”

So the whole thing would be like getting one over on her

Translated into English: My business is failing and has been for years due to my piss poor leadership and I desperately need an off ramp to lie to my investors as the cause. Tariffs and Orange Man Bad make great news stories so let's intentionally tank my business and sell whatever my normal product would be at a skyrocketed rate so I can both cry, see the, and be a victim while raking in record profits from the few retards stupid enough to think $300 was genuinely added to the cost and still buy my bullshit. It's going be great, I can shut this failing business down, lie to my investor board, keep my reputation, and make a killing while I burn my own shop to the fucking ground.


You don't hate CEOs enough.
