"it wouldn't really disrupt the US #economy ... It would hurt consumers,... but that's really the last of our concerns"
- Trump's National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett

🤯

He just flat out states that working-class Americans being hurt by rising prices caused by Trump's #war is not important. The "economy" -- in the form of the American oligarchs who own most of it -- is all that matters to Trump and the GOP.

@ZhiZhu And middle class

The middle-class is part of the working class. If you work for a living, as opposed to living off of the money that your money makes, then you are part of the working-class.

Both a custodian making $27, 000/yr and a surgeon making $400,000/yr are part of the working class. The people who own the businesses that the custodian and surgeon work for are the oligarchs -- the non-workers whose ownership of businesses, stocks, and plain old 💰 keep them from needing to work.

@ZhiZhu They are almost always treated as separate terms here in the USA.
