When I saw this video:

All I could do is nod my head.

The vast majority of the people I work with have Spanish as their first language. They came here a decade or more ago. I don’t know if they came legally or not at the time but many if not most are now American citizens and they are scared for their jobs, their managers are scared for their jobs and as a guy about to hit 61 who had planned to work till 70 I’m scared for my job.

Even with COVID four years ago we were not.

And let me note, we are scared for our jobs after our company closed two warehouses in our area and laid off every temp we had.

Without a turnaround of the economy I don’t see how we avoid either further layoffs or a reduction of our workweek to below 40 hours.

That the democrats are polling over 40% is beyond me and I would bet real money that a lot of the folks were I am are going to vote for Trump because they know who was in charge when they were able to make a living and who was not.

They don’t care about mean tweets they care about feeding their kids and virtue signaling stuff like this

doesn’t enter their radar.

The only reason why I have no idea who will win in November is:

  1. I don’t know that Biden will be the Dem standard bearer no matter what happens in the primary
  2. I don’t know if Trump can win beyond the margin of fraud or if the GOP is taking steps to prevent it
