"The #MAGA-aligned #capitalists no longer require a healthy national economy to build their wealth. The #workingclass still does. From their perspective, an economic downturn will punish labor. Win-win, for them. So now the interests of America’s ruling class are almost entirely contrary to advancing labor’s well-being.
For that reason, it is a mistake to endorse—as United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain recently did—#Trump’s regime of #globaltariffs. Tariffs are a crucial part of a scheme that uses prolonged economic recession to benefit the rich while disciplining #labor."
