Trump has put American automakers at a disadvantage with their British competitors, they complain
Automakers: That wasn’t part of the deal! You said the [auto industry] would stay under my protection!
Trump: I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.Maybe I can finally get the Toyota Hilux I always wanted! But seriously, everyone in the US stop buying shit that isn’t strictly necessary. The corporations cannot “pass the costs along” to us if we don’t buy their shit. Obviously it’s not optimal, but there’s no reason to take it up the caboose just because.
If you want it but don’t need it just steal it.
Now imagine if people actually boycotted stuff.
I can only dream.
I boycott! Oddly enough I just ended a ~15 year Walmart boycott for our family. Began it after becoming aware of their tactics to deliberately strangle local businesses and keep employees below full-time hours to avoid giving them benefits, etc.
Been avoiding them out of habit for so long…started boycotting Amazon, Target, etc. recently…and realized that while I have nothing positive to say about Walmart, they’re not even cracking the list of shittiest companies anymore. Because every fucking one else sunk below their standards.
Cool stuff! Boycott shit, people, help out! Most of y’all need the money way more than the stuff these days anyway lol!
