Rural US towns reel as policies like tariffs cause global manufacturing companies to reconsider major investment projects
A host of Trump administration policies – tariff measures and the end of clean vehicle tax credits worth thousands of dollars to car buyers – are causing multinational manufacturing companies to consider pausing hundreds of millions of dollars in future investments, a move that would hit small, majority-Republican towns such as Jeffersonville especially hard.
Moreover, a raid by ICE immigration officers on a Hyundai-LG battery plant in Ellabell, a small town in south-east Georgia in September that saw more than 300 South Korean workers detained and sent home has sent shock waves through places like Jeffersonville and the C-suites of international companies alike.
Yeah. That’s what happens when you absolutely refuse to understand that tariffs are passed on to the consumer and not some tax on a foreign country that magically won’t affect you.
Thoughts and prayers.
I wonder how many will connect this with voting for the Confederate party.
What are you talking about? It’s obviously Obama who’s to blame!
Oh no! The consequences are coming, the consequences are coming!
The good old dildo of consequences. I hope it’s extra unlubed for those morons.
If only everybody had warned us!

Boo hoo. Fuck you. I actually hope the worst for you since that’s exactly what you voted for.
Zero sympathy.
“Tariffs are affecting everything”
Gee, ya think?
