Shocker. πŸ™„ Trump is a fucking idiot and hates black and brown people. America has let out economic interests be determined based on racism.

BLOG: The fact that so many people in rich countries believe they can do without immigrant labour shows their incredible ignorance of some of the most basic facts about their own economies. They will pay a high price for their xenophobia. www.jandehn.com/post/your-ra...

Trump just don't get it. America NEEDS immigrants. The biggest problem facing both China and Japan is a falling population and a lack of workers. America too is starting to suffer similarly. but worse because of a falling life expectancy, the lowest in the developed world. Heading for big problems!

It's the Trump VOTERS who didn't get it and embraced the slogan Mass Deportation. Without his voters, he would be that asshole from queens in a luxury nursing home assaulting the nurses.

"Orders migrants home" is a weird way to say "Trump forcibly deports and threatens migrants," y'all - especially when you know full well he isn't sending anybody home by deporting folks to random places they're not from. And what? US citizens aren't keen to reenact Upton Sinclair's The Jungle? Hm.

A chuck roast is $30 at Kroger. There is going to be a lot of rotting meat across the US in the coming weeks. And with the CDC cuts, probably not a goof idea to eat meat anyway.

If 'meatpackers' had not been corporatized and monopolized, small farmers could raise and slaughter but that option has been taken by BIG AG

Never realised migrants were so prevalent within the homosexual Wisconsin community.

It’s like the f*ckin pandemic all over again β€” disrupting supply chains and stressing the economy for *personal leverage* and economic conditions that benefit global crime syndicates.

Don't worry, they'll just change the labor laws (like in FL) so that 13-yo's can work overtime and in slaughterhouses.... problem solved! #America

They're going to send the people locked up to do these jobs, they're already doing it in many places. That's why there's an increase in arresting people for poverty.
