MAGA's hard lesson in "America First."
These fools just assumed that their products would get prioritized once Trump became president. But, the first thing they learned was that "Made in America" was an obsolete slogan because most parts for our machines and tech products come from other places. Without those parts, everything shuts down.
MAGA's woke moment was learning that we were part of a global economy. And it's not just the parts. Other countries liked doing business with us because the US use to be a reliable consumer source for their products. If anything changed, folks, it was that the billionaires who controlled the corporations got greedy and stopped trickling down a fair share of the earnings to the workers, which put our economy in a state of anorexia.
We no longer have to run around with our hair on fire asking the hard question, who buys corporate products when there are no longer consumers with disposable income to buy the products? It's an active problem in our daily lives.
It's only the MAGAs who are lagging in understanding this basic economic lesson, and we need them on board to implement the solution, which isn't hard: The first step is to tax the rich, the second is to find incentives to get them to pay their workers a living wage because, helping these corporations pay low wages by offering food programs to their workers is just fucking crazy.
The Republicans are fond of getting people off these welfare programs. Fine, then they have to commit to forcing corporations to pay a proper wage. Any reasonable person can make that connection.
