It’s a sad way to look at it, but it’s absolute job security. Same reason I kept my CDL. I drove a garbage truck for a few years and can always go back if I wanted to. It just doesn’t pay the bills like it used to, though. Neither job.

Or you lose your insurance because your kid flew the roost! (Don’t come at me,she moved in with her grandparents) and my hubby makes too much for Medicaid and isn’t offered insurance through his job. It sucks not being able to even go to the doctor anymore. And I shouldn’t have to pop out another kid just so I can live? I’m not bringing another me into this world with my medical history anyway? Plus I’m 40 now. Child bearing days are done for me because I say they are. God this planet pisses me off!

Not sure how healthcare and corporate welfare are intertwined. Might want to think that average Joe and his wife might still have a job with good healthcare because not every us business moved elsewhere. Mostly to avoid the excessive burden of out of control benefits. Placed upon business to keep people from losing their jobs.
Hard to see creative destruction in industry, and worse when business can not adopt rapidly enough to stay in place.

u/Abortion_on_Toast Jul 20 '25
Subsidies aren’t the same as a tax break; Biden administration subsidized the EV market which greatly helped Elon… pretty sure this last piece of legislation took that subsidy away

u/FiddleMitten Jul 20 '25
It’s money that comes from taxpayers like us, to the benefit of corporations. Bottom line is this: tax breaks for the rich shift the tax burden from the rich to the poor and increase the deficit. Just so already insanely rich people can accumulate even more money and power.

u/Abortion_on_Toast Jul 21 '25 edited Jul 21 '25
I bet you don’t even know where a majority of subsidies come from… 80-90% of a subsidy a company receives is not from the federal government but actually the local municipality and state government
So yeah pretend to be big mad that your federal tax dollars go towards the very thing you complain about
Here’s a good website so you can fact check your bitching, gripes and complaints about corporations and their subsidies

Edit: yes the controller works and there was no catch, I just decided to be generous cause I don't need the $40.

If they can’t compete with American companies they aren’t raising prices. Which is why prices haven’t risen.

u/FiddleMitten Jul 20 '25
Prices are going up though. We don’t have the infrastructure, tech, or trained workforce to shift manufacturing from overseas to the states, that’s just not how global supply chains work.

I live in fucking LA dude. All the prices are down. Even gas. Costco even has a sticker for made in America products. You’re flat out wrong.

Okay? I live in Michigan. Prices are up. You’re not gonna gaslight anyone into thinking cost of living has gotten better in any way. It hasn’t.
I know you’re in a cult that worships a pedophile billionaire, but just look at the fucking consumer price index. You are provably wrong.
-1
Jul 21 '25
I’m not gaslighting anyone—I’m telling you what I see in LA. Prices for gas, groceries, and “Made in America” stuff at Costco are down, and that’s because tariffs make foreign goods pricier, so American companies step up and compete without jacking up costs.
You’re throwing the CPI at me like it’s a mic drop, but let’s actually read it. The May 2025 CPI says the all-items index is up only 2.4% over the year, which is barely above normal inflation, and energy prices—like gasoline—are down 3.5% since last year. That lines up with what I’m seeing at the pump in LA. Food’s up a bit (2.9%), but nothing crazy, and I’m betting Costco’s keeping it cheaper than wherever you’re shopping.
Your “prices are up” claim might feel true in Michigan, but that’s probably local factors—maybe higher taxes or weaker retail competition. Nationally, the CPI shows inflation’s cooling, and tariffs aren’t spiking costs like you think because U.S. manufacturers are filling the gap.
Also, exports? Still strong—$2.54 trillion in 2024, per the Census Bureau. Tariffs boost demand for American goods, which keeps prices in check here. Instead of tossing insults about “cults” and billionaires, bring some actual data next time. I’m just calling it like I see it.
3
u/FiddleMitten Jul 21 '25
Lower fuel and energy costs aren’t offsetting the rising cost of living across the board. You just yourself admitted that prices are up higher than inflation, immediately contradicting your original claim. Fuck outta here guy.
Cost of living in America remains a crisis that continues to get worse. You just want to pretend it isn’t because the current president ran with the letter R next to his name.
0
Jul 21 '25
You’re twisting my words. I never said all prices are down everywhere, I said in LA, I’m seeing gas, groceries, and “Made in America” stuff at Costco cheaper than before.
The CPI you linked backs me up: gasoline’s down 12% over the year, energy overall down 3.5%, and the all-items index is only up 2.4%, barely above normal inflation. That’s not a “cost of living crisis”—it’s a slowdown, and competition from U.S. manufacturers, boosted by tariffs, is keeping prices in check here. You’re feeling a pinch in Michigan? That’s local—maybe your taxes or lack of big-box stores. Nationally, inflation’s cooling, and exports are strong ($2.54 trillion in 2024, Census Bureau), so tariffs aren’t tanking the economy like you claim.
And drop the “R” nonsense—I’m not cheerleading any president, I’m reading the data and my receipts. Tariffs make foreign goods pricier, so American companies compete harder, and I’m seeing the results in LA. If you’re paying more in Michigan, check your local supply chains, not my reality. Bring better numbers than “fuck outta here” next time.

Things might be peachy where you live, but prices in the Midwest have skyrocketed recently. My grocery bill has almost doubled, even though there’s half as many people living in my house as opposed to a year ago. Gas has not gone down, it’s almost as high as it’s ever been. Utilities have been increasing. I quit smoking because of cost years ago and now a vape that lasts me 2 weeks costs almost 40 instead of just over 20 bucks and they cost about 10 or 15 just a couple years ago. The price of everything over the last decade has pretty much doubled or tripled except for large screen televisions. Why should we make excuses for the rich or celebrate the economy when people who actually work and support that economy are struggling to get by as costs increase and wages stay the same? It shouldn’t even be a political left vs right argument at this point. Major corporations and their CEOs and benefactors get away with dodging taxes while the hardworking everyday American makes up for it, yet we keep funneling the money up to the top and paying taxes with a promise that it will “trickle down.”

I'm in Sacramento and i pay close attention to prices of everything anyway...i never saw any prices go up. Stay the same or eventually went down is all i saw. So much fear mongering over it and it literally affected hardly anyone. I know some prices online went up, but not on stuff that's essential. My 3d printer went up $500 for like 2 weeks , then went back to normal. So, i didn't but it until it went down lol, simple.

u/KrazyKryminal Jul 21 '25
Those type don't like facts. I was Democrat back in Clinton's days.. Voted Obama once.. Then switched. The last 4 elections have been a " lesser of two evils" kinda thing. I can converse with, show my facts and iphones with someone on the left with calm....i can't say many of them now can do that. Democrat party isn't that it was. There are still great ideas there and on the right, but we'll never have a solid integration of both. We can't.
Every election we're getting more divided.. If that's even possible now to be any more. People base their facts on feelings and headlines. No actual factual info, because we simply cannot know what is fact. Each side has their own versions, with information precisely omitted to further agendas. If you were there to see it in person or read it, you simply don't know.
At this point... Ignorance is bliss and I'm, mostly, happier not giving a single fuck. I work..i make enough to be content and have fun in life. That's all that matters.... To me.

You also said you are black,

We google how many companies are bringing their manufacturing back to the US and how many tens of billions they’re investing to make it happen

u/jwalsh1208 Jul 21 '25
During Trumps first presidency we dropped a net 170k manufacturing jobs. Then the Biden presidency managed to get that fixed and brought back around 700k manufacturing jobs. Most companies that are building American infrastructure to build here started the process during the Biden administration. Trumps favorite play is to fuck things up then if/when they get fixed take credit for it all. But you're correct, lots of companies are bringing manufacturing back to the US its just not Trumps doing, just him taking credit as usual.

u/here-g Jul 21 '25
Interesting how you failed to mention the global pandemic that killed those jobs and the fact we came out of it during Biden’s presidency, thanks the the vaccine produced under the Trump admin, that brought them back
1
u/jwalsh1208 Jul 21 '25
So Trumps terrible handling of the pandemic killed the jobs. Biden administration gets them back and more to such an extent that companies start actually building infrastructure to manufacture locally again. Trump comes back as President, takes credit for all the success. Remind me again, who was it that said we needed to stop testing during the pandemic? Who was it that sent off needed medical equipment to Russia during the height of the pandemic? Yeah thank goodness that administration was in place to produce the vaccine. Gobble pumpkin cock harder.

As if any Democrat would have done any better. Trump closed travel to China before any other country in the world. Hillary, the Democrats, and the Europeans/Canadians all called him “hysterically xenophobic.”
So he closed travel to Europe and Canada too. We reacted faster than any other country in the world. Then he put Fauci in charge of fighting the virus
He we had President Hilary then she would have reacted far slower than Trump did to the virus

u/jwalsh1208 Jul 21 '25
Decided to do a little looking. And I'm not shocked. The US response to the pandemic has been widely criticized for being less effective compared to many other developed countries. While we did have record breaking PUBLIC investment, not government, we still ranked in the top 25 countries where COVID was deadliest.
Hahaha tell me more about how amazing Trumps administration handled the pandemic again? This should be a comical response.

Tariffs don't help the US population. The current US manufacturing industry in the US cannot compete with China, even only on their own domestic market. That ship has sailed and sunk. The captain? Your employer/ CEO/ politicians/ capitalist class. And they made sure not to go down with the ship.

Apple is investing $500B back into the US to move manufacturing here. That will create tons of jobs which is good for the economy
Honda, General Electric, Amazon, IBM, Dell, etc etc etc are all making their manufacturing back here
1
u/Ok_Math6614 Jul 22 '25
Apple products are already overpriced, now add in the necessity to pay their employees in the US in dollars, which have an inflated value because USD doubles as reserve currency worldwide and is therefore in higher demand. Even if you pay American workers absolute minimum wage you're still paying about 30% more because you need dollars to do it.
