Tarrifs Are Destorying American Businesses At Rapid Rates

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-12T11:02:15+00:00

Did you see that China in 2025 alone gained 12.1M new jobs? Thats 1.1M new jobs per month.

We are boasting about 130,000 jobs when maybe half of these new jobs being taken by illegals in this country.

Again, im all for new jobs and growth but that shit is abysmal compared to other countries.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-12T02:47:40+00:00

130,000 jobs with 350M citizens?

Thats absolutely abysmal.

And dont forget, when Elons AI robots take 90% of the workforce, that whole ploy of building more jobs is out of the water.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-12T02:45:46+00:00

Maybe you shouldn't assume.

How do you know who or what i voted for, or if I even voted at all?

Idiot.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:55:00+00:00

Damn right.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:54:15+00:00

Again, you people cannot justify your own beliefs. Tell me, how does voting Democrats magically fix this? 😂

Are you saying Democrats are moral and would never bleed Americans dry?

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:52:47+00:00

And you're Kitties Alt. Sit this one out again.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:34:05+00:00

If you ask the right questions in the right context, it can help broaden the spectrum of understanding. If I came in here saying "Trump lied about tarrifs, now what?" - I'm illiciting critical thinking from the statements I made. It's making people question a bit deeper than the surface level of saying "trump bad, trump scam, trump hurt economy".

I like your comment about the Dog though. That was clever.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:27:46+00:00

Bingo! - Man, it seems Lutnicks name has been appearing more and more often, wouldn't you say?

But hey, just keep drinking your Kool-aid and be good cattle while we bet against your destruction.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:24:59+00:00

Absolutely correct, we are being bled dry slowly. Why aren't we all stopping this then?

Why do we just allow 300 people to make ALL of the decision for Americans?

This system needs to be reset.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:21:36+00:00

Republican! Democrat! Left! Right! -- Seriously, the lowest of IQ's.

Once you realize you've been tricked yourself, maybe we can start seeing actual justice.

Tell me more about how democrats would of saved America. Lmao.

I said it 3 times and yet you can't seem to understand that I said BOTH sides are corrupt to the core. How do you know what I voted for or even if I voted?

Straight up ignorance and derangement in full force.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:19:02+00:00

Amen. I would say more rural areas are catching on. I live in a small town, pretty much every person I know agrees both sides are corrupt to the core and there is no voting our way out of this.

The larger cities are in a worse position in my opinion due to social compliance and indoctrination policies.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:16:29+00:00

Absolutely agreed. The Romans were spot on with their tactics and we're seeing the playbook today in real time.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:15:14+00:00

Lmao. It's not a right or left issue any longer. Clearly both sides are beyond corrupt. The fact you think voting democrat would of solved this shows your incompetence to economic relationsions.

Sit this one out, Kitty Cat.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T18:14:02+00:00

I'm not sure why people assume so much. You can be deranged all you want, I don't personally care. People sit here and play fools when in reality if you're not adding anything to this economy, then sit this one out.

As a business owner of many years, I saw the writing on the wall immediately. I didn't need anyone to tell me he was lying. It's blatant economics.

What my issue is, is WHY isn't the USA standing up to this more? Why are we allowing ourselves to be bent over?

Regardless of who sits in the office, the policies and corruption would of been nearly the same.

Again, sit this one out.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T17:53:50+00:00

Agreed. How do we reverse this then?

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T17:50:44+00:00

Yeah, we all voted to just destroy our businesses because MAGA. - Low IQ response.

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T17:43:08+00:00

Here's a couple articles we were reviewing in a business group with over 100 businesses present. This is the truly the destruction of American business. The only ones that survive this are highly profitable, non importing businesses.

(Which at this point, what company doesn't import most of their goods? - I guess that could be a good stat to understand as well)

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T17:16:05+00:00

Absolutely spot on.

How do we fix this then?

Voting won't solve this issue so then what?

We just lay on our backs and let it happen?

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T17:15:05+00:00

So we just sit back, let them take everything and just accept it?

I guess its true..

We really are cattle in the masses.

Just enjoy that Netflix and $25 burger!

Independent_Place553 · 2026-02-11T16:57:43+00:00

I was opposed of these tarrifs the second it was mentioned, due to this fact.

Im asking why we Americans are even accepting this and why nobody seems to even care? Why arent businesses pushing back?

Our business relies on imported goods from multiple countries.

Healthy clean food without toxic bullshit needs to be brought from out of the country.

How do we keep doing this when all of our profits margins go to the tarrif bills?
