I hope the grandfather has his kids and grandkids deported and never gets to see them ever again. He fucking deserves it.
Really sucks to be Jaime and his kids though. The wife should have looked into what she was signing up for, i've known for decades that if you want to be here legally you need to leave before coming back and there's no guarantee.
This country is so fucked up, they don't even have the critical thinking skills or knowledge to understand why our economy is so bad right now: Slashed corporate tax rates and media, healthcare and employment controlled by the ultra wealthy. We're just neo-slaves given less and less to make our owners more and more. Our health isn't the ownership's problem, and we're only useful as long as we are producing them more wealth.
Sky's daughter isn't going to see him anymore if her husband gets deported, because she would follow. In a long-winded way, Sky voted for her to be out of his life.
you want innocent children to be punished for something their grandfather did?
In the spirit of leopards eating faces: Sky is the one who should suffer, but his suffering - not seeing loved ones - isn't even remotely comparable to the suffering of those people who rightly should be here but who will be deported because of Sky & his friends' choices.
This is just tragic, how these people deluded themselves. Hearing what they want to hear and ignoring what they don't, and even now not believing that their imagined reality will not play out like they think. They're too committed to the cause and the cult to have regrets.
The ignorance of those who voted for dumpy knows no bounds. Cheering for the leopard to come eat your face is so fucking dumb.
I wish I had it in me for a higher quality response but the avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.
It's an interesting economy.
In a closed economy, production that cannot be consumed (due a low household share of income) would result in production being shut down, lay offs, etc.
Being the reserve currency, with open capital controls and deep financial markets has allowed America to be the consumer of last resort through massive debt loaned by the rest of the world (particularly persistent trade surplus countries which themselves have weak demand).
It has resulted in massive government debt (which is trying to compensate the household sectors weak income share) and private debt.
Completely unsustainable.
The problem with these greed assholes is that while one of them can get rich by ripping off the public and low wages, if all of them do it, the public can't afford to buy their crap.
