In our quarterly IT meeting they mentioned that we had paid over $200M in tariffs. They also mentioned that all indicators are down and raises and bonuses will probably suck this year.

iirc, you have some proud MAGA amongst your coworkers. I guess you have some good ammunition next time they want to talk politics.

And it’s a weird lie. It seems that if you lie about something, you at least want it to come across as a plausible assertion.
Priceless comment that Biden didn't do enough regulating. Reminds me of the 2008 Great Recession. Republicans ran around blaming Democrats for stopping them from regulating the mortgage industry. It seemed to escape them what they were admitting with that excuse. I hope Elizabeth Warren is paying attention.

I have to hand it to MAGA Republicans. They have formed a coalition of voters that make for odd bedfellows who disregard all the contradictions in their policies.

The one's that I know are maga, I avoid.
In a meeting earlier I had to shut one down when he tried to say that tariffs were working due to the acceleration of a project they pulled in from 2027 to this year. He tried to claim the tariffs were bring jobs back to the us and this project was an example. It was pretty easy to shut him down considering the project was already planned prior to drumps election and the only change was an acceleration. This project had no new head count and actually decreases output. He had no response. The sad thing is this guy is the head of our local IT department, he has a masters degree, yet he doesn't understand what tariffs. And he works in manufacturing and doesn't understand that higher prices and taxes are not going to drive companies to the US to create manufacturing jobs.

Wow, they have simply thrown out every position they ever stood on.
At one point they just loved that competition would lower prices for consumers, guess it's simply fuck consumers now as they stick to trumps crazy economic ideas.
