(29,324 posts)As if the shadowy Wall Street Masters of the Universe saw polls Kamala Harris's up a few points and immediately freak out that Trump won't be president to screw up the economy again and bring instability and chaos. Implement the Operation Stock Market Panic alert plan immediately!
Saw one that the long-term right-wing plan is for no immigration or social safety net or education so that the only workforce available is poor uneducated non-skilled unhealthy angry armed Americans who'll be so desperate it's assumed they'll take any job for peanuts and be grateful for it.
What jobs? Going to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and get rid of automation? Lose a lot of money because of high turn-over and having to train new employees all the time? A population with no money to buy products? Without trade deals they can't sell American products abroad or import cheaper foreign things. That doesn't make sense, what kind of economy would that be. No, if it's about the rich making money the old-fashioned Republican free trade and pro-immigration worked really well, they weren't ideological extremists with crazy fantasies.
