I do not see that " "they" " did.
What do you see?

(1,271 posts)States run them after all. Even the Electoral College fits in with the idea as it's 50 (or 51 with Washington DC) state contests, administered and run by states.

(3,834 posts)He's working on it. States need to refuse. There are court challenges.
There is also a Democratic Governor in Wisconsin. We may start to see Red states become corrupt while Blue state elections remain fair.
Trump however will seek revenge on Blue states. They just went after Social Security contracts in Maine over some comments by the Governor about transgender in sports. What will he do to states that don't comply wiwth his wishes on elections?
Prepare for a battle ahead. Secure those voting machines. Keep voting accessible. Protect the voter rolls. and keep Elon far far away.

(23,766 posts)The Trump regime knows nothing, they have no idea how business works and how supply chains are managed.
JIT to them means Jesus I'm Tired. The tier 2 auto suppliers just had a bomb dropped on their factories. These are factories that are fast paced, rely on just in time delivery to hold costs down, and they work with tiny margins. They simply aren't set up to absorb a cost shock like this without laying people off. JIT means these tariffs effects are almost immediate.
My brother helps run one of the largest tool and die shops in the Midwest, they are a tier 2 auto supplier, means they supply to the tier 1s who supply to the OEMs. They're holding an emergency meeting this weekend, my brother thinks it's to tell 3rd shift they no longer have jobs. A deep recession is almost here.

There is nothing that "they" are planning that is beneficial for our nation's populace.

(19,280 posts)Just A Day Too Late was our acronym.
I recall an instance at the GE plant around 1980, where a shipment of memory chips came in a week earlier than scheduled. The receiving department returned them to the vendor as required by management. Memory chips were in very short supply and the vendor immediately resold them. One week later, production employees were give a temporary lack of work layoff.
Cue spot market replacement chips purchased at ten times the cost. Cue low yields in production. Cue massive field issues.
Just one story

(37,097 posts)Then they thought they could have them built up across town in the proper order, delivering them in order. Just unload the trucks and install them. One day, somehow a truck passed the first one all the seats were installed in the wrong order. Blue cars had red seats. Expensive models had cheap seats. Made a lot of overtime changing them.

(3,540 posts)... HATED altruism and empathy, just like the Shithead of the Hour, Elon Musk.
My employers at the time were movers and shakers in the Boston "Objectivist" community, and strongly encouraged me to read her doorstop novels, that could have been entitled "Fountainhead Shrugged", so similar were the plots and characters. Her essays were disturbing, especially the one in which she expressed admiration for a child rapist and murderer. But the one that sealed my contempt for her was "The Virtue of Selfishness", a mercifully short book that plumbed new depths of malice and greed.
Shit. Now I have to go wash my brain after thinking about her.

(37,097 posts)My favorite story her was about her love life. She was all for open marriage. But when her partner and number two in her organization tried it, she went nuts and kicked him out.
In the end she changed her name back to original one and went on every government program available. Worlds greatest hypocrite.

(4,831 posts)rich boy buddies can buy everything at fire sale prices and watch it all go up in price when the tariffs are rescinded in a few weeks/days. The problem is, with the economy already tottering, will enough economic damage be done that rescinding the tariffs won't matter and a depression begins. We'll see.
