Yโ€™all canโ€™t even see the value of the people youโ€™re exploiting; youโ€™re that dumb. The fact that they all deserve humane working conditions is way above your heads because you canโ€™t even see how your way of life depends on them in the first place.

Making all this even more insulting to the workers you spit on by being as stupid as you are evil.
You owe every bite of food you eat to immigrant labor.

From farm, to processing, to grocery, every bite of meat and every leaf on every green has been touched by at least 10 sets of hands that speak another language than you. Double it if you ate in a restaurant.
They are doing the labor you will not. They pay taxes into a system they cannot benefit from, that YOU benefit from. They deserve to be here, they deserve recognition, humanity, and respect, and a true and actual fair shot at life, more so than any of yโ€™all racist piles of trash.

Iโ€™ve worked with them in kitchens most of my life and know they are always the hardest workers there with the least to complain about.

They deserve to be here more than any confederate flag waving facist.

"To restore the trade truce brokered a month ago, both Washington and Beijing have adopted a trade-war playbook of escalation followed by de-escalationโ€”a risky game foreign-policy and trade experts say hurts prospects for a long-lasting agreement."

Again. Worst president ever.

You canโ€™t start a fight and then accuse your victims of violence for defending themselves.

This is objectively *pretty cool*. We are literally looking at something never before witnessed in the history of the universe. Even if it does just look like the rest of the Sun and if we've seen a bunch of planets (AND STARS) done better in movies. What was I hoping for? I dunno - a face? Some mountains? A Monet scene? Look it's amazing. OK?

This is your reminder that #Trump has yet to finalize a single #trade deal. Zero. Zip. Not even with the penguins. We are 63 days into his 90 day pause.
