I got a friend in the Bureau of Workers Compensation in Ohio, and this might be anecdotal, but they’ve mentioned several times how businesses in Springfield that couldn’t find good work absolutely welcomed and embraced the Haitian population and how it has turned around several smaller businesses that he works with.

One business owner specifically talked about how he couldn’t keep anyone, and how he had to fire a few people that would come in fucked up on pain killers or drunk because it became too much of a problem and fucked with his insurance rates after a particular incident. My BWC friend mentioned how the Haitian population came in to the area and hiring some of them might work out well, so he did it. He says it’s been fantastic. They didn’t have any of that baggage, worked hard and showed up on time every day. He has to have an interpreter but he said it was absolutely worth it just to not have to deal with the turnover and no-shows.

Shame Ubisoft doesn’t feel this obligation to gamers. If they did, we’d probably only have 4 assassin’s Creed games

Trump told people they were struggling and only he could fix it.

Kamala told people the economy was rebounding and they were gonna create more opportunities for the middle class.

People didn’t give a shit about what opportunities they were given. They also didn’t give a shit about a rebounding economy because none of them were feeling things getting better. Media kept saying real wages beat inflation finally. Only after 3 years of insane inflation where wages in no way kept up.

So sure, the economy is better than it was, and better than the rest of the world. But the shock happened and nothing was done to actually help the people that were suffering. Instead they were told by Democrats that ‘it could have been worse! And it will be worse under Trump’ basically admitting they weren’t really interested in helping.

So Trump, despite him not actually caring or really planning to do anything about it, stayed on message with something that resonated to voters. While Kamala assumed people wanted to start businesses? People can’t afford food but sure, let’s talk about how they have some opportunity to open a mom and pop shop across from Walmart.

Pretty sure dude had plastic surgery to lift his eyebrows and smooth his forehead wrinkles.

That’s honestly what I’m hoping for too. If anyone can fuck this up, it’s Trump and his administration.

So a pedophile sex trafficker runs the justice department.

I expect a slew of resignations. Probably exactly what Trump wants anyways.

The Republicans attacked trans people hard as hell this election cycle, and the Democrats in charge all distanced themselves from trans issues.

And the news says the Democrats lost because they were too woke.

I wish Democrats were half as woke as the media says. Instead they’re a bunch of neoliberal hacks with no spine to really stand up to hate.

Most people I know either obsessively filter and delete junk like this so their inbox is always empty, or they have 30k emails, all unread, and this’ll just go in the pile.

Just another case of running out the clock. That’s about all America does on anything now.

It sure was to the democratic party.

Fair. I was specifically talking about the incel crowd.

Yeah because men were having so much sex and dating tons before.

A campaign run by trolls wasn’t just gonna stop trolling once they win. Of course they were gonna double down with being awful people.

Separating my recycling does nothing useful when it’s so far outweighed by this.

Separating your recycling never did anything useful, that was a convenient lie we were told to sell us on plastics.

It’s an infinitesimally small number of americans who get to adulthood and actively participate in our society who don’t understand the very basic fundamentals of democracy and civics.

Sounds like it was the majority of Americans in this case, since 60% didn’t turn out.

And just from my anecdotal experience, people are fucking dumb and they continue to surprise me day after day with just how dumb they can be.

Yeah. But wages are low because they refuse to address any sort of wage legislation too. They keep kicking themselves in the dick and then wonder why their crotch hurts.

More like “it’s simple really. I’m spending $1 more on eggs than I did during a pandemic, so I’m gonna vote for the person taking photos with breakfast food”

Do you believe Russia has interfered in any election?

Just trying to figure out what reality we’re in before going further.

Dunno where you were living before, but it doesn’t sound like the America I know lol
