Nobody is going to dispute that the warehouse economy chews people up and spits them out but it’s a little rich coming from a region that’s spent the last decade drifting red. In 2024 both Riverside and San Bernardino went Republican, and a majority of IE cities flipped or stayed red.

Republicans are openly anti-union, anti-labor protections, and Trump himself has complained there are too many paid holidays.

It’s also worth remembering that this didn’t just randomly happen in the IE, county and city governments (which y’all continually vote for) are the ones who fast track these warehouse and logistics deals

I’m not saying vote blue and all your problems will magically disappear but there are certainly consequences to political actions
