Since I appear to be offering up lessons on tariffs today, riddle me this, Maga. Tariffs on imported building materials like plywood, drywall and roofing will result in skyrocketing costs of rebuilding post Hurricane Helene (or any other natural disaster). This will immediately impact the cost of your homeowners insurance. The cherry on top is you voted for the party that last week indicated they wanted to repeal the CHIPS act! The FAFO is real.
*don't come at me with where building materials come from. i promise i know more about it than you do.
The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too.
Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as immigrants flee. Your daughter dying of sepsis because the lawyers feel it’s too risky to perform that D&C.
No more FAFSA for your kids college because you didn’t know that was part of the Department of Education. Veterans having their benefits cut because they rolled back the PACT Act as too expensive. That factory in town that was going to build chips and employ your kids never breaking ground because of the repeal of the CHIPs act. The bridge that was going to cut your commute in half being canceled because of the repeal of the Infrastructure Act.
That sweet government job that you’ve loved because you can work 8 hours a day and fish on the weekends has been slated for a MAGA Schedule F slot because it controls funding for contracts that will go to Republican donors, so you’re fired without cause or any union protections.
You’ll blame Biden or the local Democrats probably. But it will be fine because Elon promised it would be uncomfortable at first but it will get better. You were just so sure it would be uncomfortable for…you know…”those people.” Not you.
But that’s leopards for you. They eat whatever is available.
The most unreal part of the majority of Florida’s citizen losing tonight on Amendments 3 and 4 is that the original amendment turning the minimum percentage to pass from 50 to 60% only passed itself at 57.8%
No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.
@stealthygeek@AP There's so much nuance (corruption) surrounding FL amendment 4, I feel like I've been assaulted by my state's gov. The people have spoken and the gov said "nice try." And they used my tax dollars to do it.
@TheJbarr @wolfielotus@notcapnamerica It's true. 😌 They've been courted by Rs for so long they can't see fascism anymore... Also, white Cubans see themselves as "Spaniards." Racism persists. 🙄
DeSantis spent tens of millions of taxpayer money against abortion rights and legalizing marijuana. This criminal and abuse of state dollars must be investigated by the Department of Justice immediately.
That isn't fucking why. DeSantis stole and illegally spent tens of millions of tax dollars on a political campaign to lie about both amendments and he should go to fucking prison for it.
@RachelBitecofer They also used our own tax dollars to spread disinformation about ONLY these 2 ballot measures. I feel like we're getting screwed "whether we like it or not." Something is very wrong with these people.
