My god... Republicans caused all our problems and theyre doing it again?

Correction: Conservatives. Who weren't always Repubs. But this is a pro tariff ad in 1926, three years before the Great Depression.

Then it was Bush W in 2007. Now its gonna be Trump. Note COMPETE WITH LOW PAID FOREIGNERS reference under Democrats. SORRY if we Dems want higher paid work.

i think the issue started with lower wage workers. the workers that didn't go to college and were stuck with the jobs that teenagers did before they went to college. but a lot of kids don't go to college and stay in those low wage jobs until adulthood wondering why they are still making $8 an hour. they can't survive off of that so they fight for better wages. and that is why teenagers today are making way more than a manager when i was a teenager and they are still asking for tips.

it's not sustainable. kids must me underpaid for do nothing jobs. it's how the world works and we all had to do it. turn off social media for 8 hours and gain some work experience.

now for those under-educated individuals at these jobs; they aren't getting a fair deal either. you can't raise the wage for the do nothing job, so either let them stay or promote them. there are lots of sub-type managerial positions that need to be filled and shouldn't require a degree. the seniors at my high school were running the businesses around my area.

that solves the wage crisis. stop giving into whiny teenagers who gave up working when they got a livable wage and would rather try to be a social media influencer.

I don’t have a college degree. So should I be denied work?

[Sevenpointfive]

@blackeagle007 no. you should have been in a lower wage position and eventually moved up. working your way up through a company doesn't happen very often anymore. it really depends on the company

[blackeagle007]

And who you know

[Sevenpointfive]

@blackeagle007 and how you act. that was a big one for me. i am not a yes man

Well yeah, our 2 party divided nation produces a schizophrenic national personality where we constantly bounce from sociopaths/psychopaths to empaths and socialist ideas every 4 years. This has been going on since the country was founded.

Conservatives / Anti- intellectuals gain power and absolutely destroy our economy and foreign relations then Progressives / People with cognitive ability higher than a tree stump get back in power and kinda sorta get government working again before we go psycho mode again and elect another Authoritarian Psychopath Conservative to fuck it up all over again.

We are exceptional. But not in a good way.

How do you explain that it is working? We just collected 33 billion in tariffs and inflation has been holding steady. Good jobs are beginning to come back to America and more will follow in 2026. We are not in 1926 anymore.

how does inflation stay the same? The foreign companies absorb the tariffs or else they do not sell their stuff here..

[Filthy_Immigrant]

dude do you realize 1926 is literally about to be a century ago in just a couple of weeks?

till then, sorry but MONTHS ago Biden proved that democrats are not competent enough to keep the economy stable. so please do yourself a favor and come out of your fucking cave and live the rest of 2025 like everyone else

[FunkyMonkee]

No, that was democrats that caused all the problems. You're still brainwashed. STOP drinking the Kool-Aid, already!!!

[Anonymous]
