"The recession will make its way east from Seattle and Los Angeles as trucks and freight trains carry less cargo overland. The port of New York–New Jersey, which is less reliant on China, is doing pretty well for now, which is good because transportation, warehousing, and storage account for more than 17 percent of all jobs in the Garden State."

"In Seattle, cargo shipments are down 60 percent. Los Angeles will be next. As recently as November, the Los Angeles Times reported that cargo traffic at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach reached record highs. But last week, it quoted the port’s executive director, Gene Seroka, predicting that 'in two weeks’ time, arrivals will drop by 35 percent.'”

"When Republicans are in charge, precarity is the policy. Wages are held down, collective bargaining is all but outlawed, fewer people get college degrees, and the social supports that make life more livable even with modest wages get yanked away."

"With Republicans at a point of both maximum power and maximum ambition, their own economic vision is coming into focus. And it is dark.

It amounts to an attack on the American middle, sold as liberation. To those beset by the precarity of contemporary America, it says: Don’t worry, all your problems will be solved when we get you working in that factory."

~ Paul Waldman

Don't need no damn' dolls with china heads and Chinese clothes, by crackey. A good old American corn cob doll with a withered apple head will do a youngun just fine and teach it to be self-reliant and proud to do hard work in a factory when that child turns seven or eight!

USA, USA! Making America great again one corn cob doll at a time!

Them chirren can learn to make their own damn' toys, by crackey. Just like we did back in the good old days when people were self-reliant and walked six miles to school each day through the snow.

Why, we taken a corn cob and then put a withered apple on it for a head, some sticks and twigs for arms and legs, and corn silk for hair, and we thought them was the prettiest dollies and play pretties we ever seen.

"Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream."

“'Now the stock markets are not doing so well, and you’re saying it’s the Biden stock market. Yet you are the president. Can you explain that?' asked Feinberg.

But Trump couldn’t.

'I’m not taking credit or discredit for the stock market,' Trump said, before again diverting blame toward the Biden administration."
