We realize that most Americans didn’t vote for Trump (only 49.8%) and that most of those who did probably didn’t understand what tariffs are and how they work and we realize that Trump’s action and our response are going to hurt poor Americans, and poor Americans in red states more than others, but we’re not going to take illegal tariffs sitting down.

Just a reminder who Trump is pissing off.

    Oh, part time workers don’t get any benefits here at all. Not even health insurance. And contract workers aren’t even classified as employees, which is why a lot of corps like Uber classify their workers as contractors. It means they don’t have to provide any benefits, and they don’t get any protections regular works get, since they aren’t employees. They’re just workers.

    It makes sense to billionaires.

      That doesn’t sound like are actual parttime workers, but either freelancers or “small business owners” who get hired.

      I dislike billionaires just like the next person, but this also exists in other countries where billionaires either don’t exist or don’t gave the impact.

      Part of it is because people think it’s better (at least here in NL) because they earn more after taxes, but in the long term it’s more expensive and because it used to be better for businesses. Now we mainly see a lot of people who wish to work like that.
