Apparently the Chambers of Commerce and the big guys told the Con

[malaise]

not to fuck with tariffs on phones, computers, video games etc. because people are shopping for school stuff and the almightly Christmas is coming.
Suddenly it's no longer about national security and the tariffs against China have been postponed. Things that make you laugh!

1. Or cry.

[malaise]

2. or both

[Cartaphelius]

5. Or loose any and all

savings for retirement or health care, shelter or food when we can
no longer protect OUR wellbeing.

The Republican Montra is if you too poor (poorer that them) you can just die.

Don't worry, whatever you had, we'll make sure it is divided up between the
rich.

You do not get to share with offspring, because you don't have enough to matter.
While we can share with whomever, tax free, because how else do you perpetuate
disparity?

3. But what about the shoppers that wait till the last 10 days before Christmas.

Shouldn't they have a voice too?!

[malaise]

9. I think they get in by one day

[Hotler]

4. We should go on a consumer strike until....

red Don resigns or is voted out. Shut the shopping and spending down. No shopping for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Let the repugs, and tRump supporters keep the economy going. We'll celebrate Christmas when he is gone. Put a big enough crimp in consumer spending and the next phone call from the CEO's will be to beg the Don to step down.

7. But, but

Maleria is busy planning the WH Christmas. How will she shop for Christmas decorations? Are Iwanka's stolen designer clothing and shoes subject to tariffs? Anyone who buys her fashions needs a brain scan.

14. I have already cut back. Marketplace has everything one could need.

[ancianita]

6. Chamber of Commerce could stop ALL undocumented raids with one word, too: LOBBY. They can

get H-2B visas in the millions if they wished. But they prefer plantation style business.

The kind where a show is put on to arrest the slaves while the plantation owners go free.

Good faith free market corporate values, right there.

[malaise]

8. You win the thread

hands down.

[ananda]

10. Yeah. But for business, they need to have a certain appearance.

MF45 and the Reep officials and judges can do or say what they want,
but others have to have an appearance for the sake of business.

They ALL stink!!!

12. Suddenly shopping at Wal-mart became more expensive

What with all their Chinese cheap shit.

[KPN]

13. Good you can laugh. The last week and a half

have moved me beyond that point — at least temporarily (its not the first time i’ve felt this level of anger mixed with almost depression). It pisses me off that we have to rely on the COC and Wall St bigwigs to make any dents in the moron’s thinking or positions. They are all part of the problem.

[malaise]

15. Just waking up and realizing this madness is not a dream

is laughable.
I agree - they are all part of the problem

[UpInArms]

16. Thanks for that ...

Was away all day ... only saw that the market jumped 372 ... and shook my head... clarity is a wonderful thing

[malaise]

17. Ding ding

and you can bet someone is making money with these swings

[UpInArms]

18. You know it

🤦🏽‍♀️
