So as a journalist, why are you not asking WHY they are dismantling public health protections? What is the reason they want us to suffer? Why aren't you focusing on this? What is the root cause of this apparent intent to harm working class Americans?

I keep seeing stuff like this, and it blows my mind that there are some who believe tariffs will bring industry back to the US due to economic pressure, without considering the fact that even if we are a fraction cheaper, people in countries who despise us just aren't going to buy our products

I personally don't believe in heaven or hell, but please forgive me for hoping that if there is one, this shitbag gets back every bit of suffering he inflicted ten-fold. It is amazing to me how much pain a single individual could inflict on the world. And all he needed was the name "Jesus"
