Won’t be needed when no one has any money to buy what factories produce

		I agree with your sentiment. But technically, it's possible for companies to produce exclusively for export.

Well no shit. We had already seen this rodeo 4 years ago. At that time, low interest rates papered over the loss of manufacturing jobs. And tariffs were only imposed on China.

Today, the economy and unilateral tariff situation is so unstable that there is no way any business can make any investment in jobs.

Trump supporters were warned before the election but they chose to damage America - twice by now.

You speak as if they're all having second thoughts. There still are many who think that Trump is doing great with his trade wars, crackdown on education, research and immigration, ad-hoc martial law, etc. These people wanted exactly what Trump is doing now. Destruction was their intended outcome.

		Yep. Maga wants the destruction of America but hide that behind the flag. It is truly a sad realization to know that we cannot have a good life because some people want to destroy everything that makes America worthwhile.

It's super simple - they aren't firing people because there's no demand for products or they fail the competition. It's just simply that the workers are being deported/self-deport by the million. What needs to be used as a yardstick, is employment to population ratio, 25-55.
