Here in Seattle, most of the local and state elections went the way I was hoping. We got a governor who sued the Trump administration almost 100 times while he was attorney general.
Well I now worry for them since the DOJ will now be the arm of Trump to go after "political opponents" who "unfairly persecuted" him. :(
Yup. The shit is gonna hit the fan quick. The blue states will hang on for as long as possible, but shit can fly from DC all the way to the west coast.
Corporate media will be ever more obsequious to get access. Military presence for "safety" in certain cities labeled "dangerous" which all happen to be progressive. Then the self-censorship starts. Then people stop being able speak freely, let alone thinking a rule of law exists. Then it's "underground" to have an honest conversation about politics. We'll be in Putin's Russia level of legal system and political speech within a few years.
Funny we were just looking at Seattle as a place to move to. Know anyone who's hiring?
Not currently. Except for starvation wage retail. Tech hiring is still mostly frozen and smaller companies tend to just copy larger ones.
Most manufacturing jobs are hiring actually.
Will manufacturing jobs keep the same Safety regulations? I'm gonna assume yes because QC but I'm still worried
No, they intend to kill OSHA.
