Paul Krugman explains how the GOP's disdain for workers will tank the economy

[SWBTATTReg]

1. The GOP has slammed the door shut on worker rights and benefits, immigration, etc.

Where are businesses going to hire workers from, then? When they cut (listening to the idiot in the WH) immigration down to a pinpoint, crops in the fields literally rotted, being that there was no one to pick them. Inflation is eating into everyday Americans' budgets when we go to the grocery store, so we're getting less and less.

And to top it off, I'm seriously wondering if I should ever buy any meat anymore, being that it seems like the CV is knocking off meat plant workers right and left. Don't the meat plants have any safety protocols in place for their workers?

If the workers are all getting sick so easily while on the front lines of these meat plants, then just how safe is our sliced meats, cold cuts, steaks, etc. (all meat products)? The GOP is to blame here too, being that they cut USDA inspections of our food supply all through the supply chain, not in response that it was unneeded, but in response to pure profit motives on the part of meat plant owners.

Again, representing the 1%ers/owners, and not us. This is another reason why political donations should be outlawed totally and elections be strictly monitored to ensure fair compliance by all. Enough of the free speech BS nonsense, we're seeing the end run of this so called 'free speech' nonsense, especially when moneyed interests take dominance over data and logic.
