I am sort of conflicted on her, don't get me wrong she deserved to be fired so I'll start with that but I was a huge fan of the original series (other than the awful final season) and the show did try to do a lot at the time to stick up for the little guy. They pushed for poor people, people of color, gay people and survivors of abuse. She told everyone back then that she had multiple personality disorder or something like that and most people thought she was just doing it for attention, maybe she was telling the truth? She clearly has some kind of mental issues with all of this conspiracy stuff she pushes out there as real.
She totally deserved to be fired from the new show but I wish they had just killed off her character and kept it going with the rest of the cast, it's sad to see so many other people lose their jobs because one person is acting like an idiot, yeah the show is named after her but she's been less of a focus in the new series anyway. I'd still watch it if the show was focused more on Sara Gilbert's character Darlene, I always thought she was the funniest part of the show anyway.
So racist! Just because she has taken 40% of the black dick in the LA region, she's suddenly an authority on the prison system?
Terrible.
I think I've exceeded my bandwidth on all my facepalm gifs by this point.
What kills me is if a Democrat suggested this, it would be anti-freedom and anti-free market, but when Trump does it, it is somehow a good idea?

Scratching my head at even the thought of this. Not only will this affect the plants here, but it'll affect whatever the EU decides to counter-tariff.
Edit: Just also saw the steel tariffs for Mexico and Canada. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

European and Japanese car makers employ more than a million US workers. Yes, lets cause job losses for Americans!
Well if you're like a previous coworker of mine (happens to be conservative what a coincidence) then even though foreign manufacturers build cars in the states, the "profits" are still going back over seas. Uh ok well domestic manufacturers build or buy a lot of stuff from other countries. I'd rather we have people with jobs here building the cars.
Edit: I don't even know if this statement makes sense. Anyways he is more worried about upper management getting those profits vs the regular employees actually building the cars.
It's no different than GM and Ford storing the overseas profits outside of the US.
The global economy is complicated... it isn't as simple as "foreign cars".
The reason American cars don't sell well overseas? Because we still crank out gas guzzling monster vehicles as if gas is never going to go up. Guess what? Europeans don't want a massive pickup truck.
Ford is stopping producing almost all their cars and only focusing on trucks. Really? I'm watching gas prices jump 10 cents every damn day and they are pumping out bigger vehicles?
We Americans want trucks with 72 month car loans (6 years!) that get terrible mileage, then act shocked when the price of gas goes up.
As with most Trumpers though, it is always someone else's fault.

Remember, low unemployment is good, but it is only part of the big picture. Wages are still largely stagnant, and that's indicative of a real problem - underemployment. People are working, but probably a lot in jobs not paying as well. Basically you see a lot of overqualified people in lower positions, keeping wages low.
I know quite a few people who are in jobs that barely allow them to live. Many have multiple jobs just to be able to live better than paycheck to paycheck. Costs of living have gone up, but wages haven't.
