    “So MAGA wanted tariffs to bring manufacturing back to the US. But when a company tries to open a plant here, MAGA undermines it. Once again you proved what an embarrassment your party is to our country,” a user wrote under one of Branum’s Instagram posts.

    Branum’s Instagram has since been set to private.

    I don’t mind the leopards eating HER face, but why do all her would-be constituients have to suffer for her racist idiocy? MAGA or not, people want that factory to run smoothly.

      It’s more that it shows the idiocy of the current government.

      All those new plants will need foreign workers. Farmers need foreign workers. Big city delis need foreign workers.

      But they’re dead set on making the USA dangerous for foreigners.

      Well… They can go suck a $10 egg.

        They don’t need foreign workers, just wage slavery… Or better yet just slavery.

        All they need to do is expand the law that makes it legal to use inmates as slaves.

        Edit: I know that it’s happening already. That’s in the second half of my comment? Is my english that bad? The key word is expand!

      It is very early in the morning so my memory may be effected, but if i recall correctly, you need to manufacture cars in the US because with little exception, foreign produced cars are subject to the chicken tax.

      Adding Trumps tariffs may lead to foreign manufactured Hyundais being unaffordable for Americans. And, as much as I criticize Hyundai and subsidiaries, they did jump into the EV game pretty early. It would be a shame to lose them in the US market

            Yeah but it’s business and Americans have money. Isn’t like 20% of worldwide consumer consumption from Americans still?

              I’m not sure about 20% but with stagnant wages, Americans will eventually not be able to afford things. One of the first things to be cut will be items priced more than they’re worth (ie. Tariff + tariff)

    They were training Americans to do those jobs. That’s why they were there. She just f’ked the area out of manufacturing jobs.

      Well sure but to be fair they didn’t have the correct visas. Most countries are anal about non citizens having the correct visas, especially while working illegally.

    I served this country and I’ll go down with the ship before someone silences me.

    That’s fine, but you don’t have to drill holes in the bottom of the ship just to get to your last stand quicker.

    Hey, who am I to stand in the way of Georgia massively fucking over it’s local economy by letting discount Bandi Maxx here run Georgia Productions?

    It’s what they deserve after all and hopefully it’ll deter all companies to stop investing into white supremacy.
