Economic depression to own the libs.

[u/Hot_Frosty0807 → u/No-Contest4979]

Some say the greatest depression.

[u/No-Contest4979 → u/Hot_Frosty0807]

😂😭

[u/trans-atlantic1143 → u/Hot_Frosty0807]

Great comment!

[u/Casalvieri3 → u/No-Contest4979]

Never underestimate the power of an incompetent boob in the wrong place, eh?

[u/Germs_Dean]

I’m assuming it’s so they can pick the factory up and move it to Detroit right?

[u/Sullen_And_Sordid → u/Germs_Dean]

Right guys?!

[u/ReddSaidFredd → u/Sullen_And_Sordid]

Guys?

[u/Rrrrandle → u/Germs_Dean]

They're just going to wait until we annex Windsor and then restart production.

[u/Nevermind_guys → u/Rrrrandle]

South Detroit™️

[u/Bigsam411 → u/Nevermind_guys]

So thats what Journey was talking about.

[u/chrisjayyyy → u/Bigsam411]

Turns out they weren’t lazy songwriters, they were just prophets from the distant future.

[u/Unlikely_Sandwich_ → u/Rrrrandle]

Imagine every Windsor resident finding out they're losing their health insurance all at once.

[u/photon1701d → u/Germs_Dean]

Trump just wants to redraw the line so Windsor is now USA

[u/ConnectPatient9736 → u/Germs_Dean]

There is a 25% tariff on factory imports unfortunately

[u/Important_Elk_1091 → u/Germs_Dean]

This is the way!

[u/TheBimpo]

Are we great yet?

[u/acarry23 → u/TheBimpo]

Greatly depressed

[u/Faljin]

Tariffs will bring back manufacturing jobs!

/s

[u/Choochoonaynay → u/Faljin]

Didn’t say when!

/s

[u/Hour_Ordinary_4175 → u/Choochoonaynay]

Looks like right after we become a developing nation again and have to beg China for everything.

[u/Choochoonaynay → u/Hour_Ordinary_4175]

There’s a concept of a plan

[u/BarKnight]

And so begins the recession.

[u/booyahbooyah9271 → u/BarKnight]

Some say it was already happening prior to the election.

[u/i-heart-linux → u/booyahbooyah9271]

Wow so already getting ready to blame Biden lmfao

[u/No-Berry3914 → u/booyahbooyah9271]

yes, and they would be wrong. zero evidence for that

[u/RellenD → u/booyahbooyah9271]

Stupid people say that

[u/asamermaid → u/booyahbooyah9271]

This happened 24 hours after the auto tariffs but surely that's not relevant

[u/rexcannon → u/booyahbooyah9271]

Definitely not.

[u/lanscoke → u/booyahbooyah9271]

And what factors exist supporting the misinformation of already being in a recession? None!

[u/laserp0inter]

Ope!

[u/Promontoryrider94 → u/laserp0inter]

Lol

[u/LeeJayKissee]

Trumpenomics

It's not just Stallantis: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2025/04/01/whirlpool-layoffs-amana-iowa-plant-losing-one-third-of-workforce/82757127007/

[u/Nevermind_guys → u/[deleted]]

what you said is not correct and I know someone already corrected you but it’s important to saying it again.

[u/midwestern2afault → u/[deleted]]

What are you talking about. Chrysler has been manufacturing in Canada for 100 years and Mexico for nearly that long. This is nothing new. As for the “just retool Belvedere” argument, you do realize that plant retooling takes multiple years and hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars right? It’s not like flipping a switch.

[u/BigODetroit]

We’re only 3 months into this term rife with Job loss, high food prices, and market instability. I should buy a gun while I still can.

[u/creepingshadose → u/BigODetroit]

But but he said everything has been going great and ALL prices are down just yesterday. He said it, so it must be true

[u/RunTheClassics → u/BigODetroit]

You don't already own a gun?

[u/manystripes → u/RunTheClassics]

Given the statistics a gun being more likely to be used for suicide than self defense, I don't trust myself to have one in the house, especially if things start getting really bad

[u/takemeoutbac → u/manystripes]

Fr

[u/MacAttacknChz → u/manystripes]

Same. And now that I have kids, my house will absolutely remain gun free.

[u/blueboxreddress → u/manystripes]

^

[u/RunTheClassics → u/manystripes]

Sounds like a win win!

[u/BigODetroit → u/RunTheClassics]

…no. What should I get?

[u/Adrien_Jabroni → u/BigODetroit]

A handgun your comfortable with and an ar-15

[u/OwlOfFortune → u/BigODetroit]

What's the purpose? Home defense, get a shot gun

[u/RunTheClassics → u/OwlOfFortune]

And then get your concealed carry license and get a 9mm carry. You don't need a huge ass glock sticking out of your pants. A Beretta APX carry with the extended mag is perfectly suitable and nobody knows it's on you.

[u/Damnatus_Terrae → u/RunTheClassics]

Just what we need, more people whose experience with firearms is measured in months carrying them everywhere. Let them start with the shotgun.

[u/RunTheClassics → u/Damnatus_Terrae]

Gotta start somewhere, why not start at the basis of "I'm scared" lol

[u/Damnatus_Terrae → u/RunTheClassics]

why not start at the basis of "I'm scared" lol

Because frightened, inexperienced people with firearms are fucking dangerous?

[u/RunTheClassics → u/Damnatus_Terrae]

That would be the joke.

[u/Damnatus_Terrae → u/RunTheClassics]

Sorry, I don't joke about firearms unless I know the people I'm with.

[u/BigODetroit → u/RunTheClassics]

Looking at a bodyguard 2.0 in .380 using +P

[u/RunTheClassics → u/BigODetroit]

That's nice too. get the extended clip. Gives you another 2 rounds and a place to comfortably rest your pinkey since the grip is smaller. Not sure the size of your hands but it hangs awkwardly off without it for me on these smaller pistols.

[u/LPinTheD → u/OwlOfFortune]

One of each 😁 12 ga, 9mm, AR

[u/photon1701d → u/RunTheClassics]

I am a conservative Canadian. Never owned a gun but starting to think I should get one.

[u/RunTheClassics → u/photon1701d]

You're a conservative that lives in Canada and you've never been hunting? How?

[u/Ok-Salad9847 → u/BigODetroit]

Hate to tell you we've had job loss, high food prices and market instability for the last 4 years

[u/booyahbooyah9271 → u/BigODetroit]

You should construct a bomb shelter too.

[u/hot_momma17]

Everyone feeling wealthy today after Donny’s tariff announcement? Check those retirement accounts! Rocketed 🚀kinda like Space X … oh wait

[u/LPinTheD → u/hot_momma17]

Yeah I’m afraid to look at mine 🫤

[u/Ok-Salad9847 → u/hot_momma17]

can't do any worse than mine have of the last four years

[u/cody8559 → u/Ok-Salad9847]

Sorry you were so poorly invested, but the stock market as a whole went up 43.7% from 2020-2024. https://www.macrotrends.net/1358/dow-jones-industrial-average-last-10-years

[u/Bombadilo_drives → u/Ok-Salad9847]

It was literally impossible to do poorly the last 4 years, you must be severely regarded

[u/rammaam]

Thanks Emperor Hirocheeto

[u/THCESPRESSOTIME]

Cult still worships him.

[u/sirziggy]

This will surely bring the cost of groceries down. Masterful gambit mister president.

[u/loubens_mirth]

Yep, it’s FAFO for all those that voted for the 🍊💩

[u/North_Experience7473 → u/loubens_mirth]

Unfortunately, those of us who didn’t vote for his dumbass will have to experience the finding out part too. MAGAs are the absolute fucking worst.

[u/Frosty-Cat4034]

We will build such beautiful auto manufacturing facilities in Greenland…I mean America-Land. People tell me it will be amazing.

[u/Fickle-Copy-2186 → u/Frosty-Cat4034]

He probably go for Trumpland.

[u/OwlOfFortune]

I thought Fain was pro tariff /s

[u/midwestern2afault → u/OwlOfFortune]

He’s a populist. They’re all pro-stupidity.

[u/ddgr815 → u/midwestern2afault]

Hey! It took decades of hard work and millions of dollars to get this many stupid people. Show some respect.

[u/cnation01]

* Just trust the process folks, geez.

Said 0 of the 900 laid off workers who voted for the Leopard's

😃

[u/BC2H → u/cnation01]

Temporary with 80% pay

[u/dlobnieRnaD]

Fuck the trade war and fuck DT. Fuck EM, fuck then al

[u/motown1]

Donny Dementia!

[u/FoamingCellPhone]

We’re doing too much winning! I can’t handle it.

[u/giddycat50]

So much winning!

[u/Infinite-Coach7064]

I'm shocked...shocked...

[u/Mhfd86]

Hahahahahahah

Vote a clown and not expect a Circus?

[u/LPinTheD]

I thought Fain said everything was going to be great?

[u/michiganbadger]

FAFO

[u/Eagle115]

As a contract at the Warren plant, here we go.

[u/j_xcal]

There’s huge protests happening TOMORROW

[u/DramaticBush]

🎻 

[u/BountyHuntaXXX]

Just like the UAW planned

[u/SAKURARadiochan]

Meanwhile, in Fort Wayne...

https://www.wane.com/top-stories/fort-wayne-gm-plant-announces-increase-in-production-plans-to-hire-temporary-employees/

[u/SirPoopaLotTheThird]

All of the extremely stupid people you know think it’s no biggie and completely unrelated to Trump.

[u/RickyTheRickster]

God damnit man, I moved out in 2010 after 2008 depression I come back about 7 months ago and another fucking depression is coming

[u/Pitiful-MobileGamer]

The Charger is turning out to be quite the bust, I'll be amazed if it remains in production through 2026. I've driven a bunch as a car hauler and it's fun but underwhelming.

The Pacifica and the Caravan are in desperate need of a refresh, the Asian minivans are stripping market share year over year.

A lot of this is the result of the company trying to delay the inset of the steel and aluminum tariffs, by delaying installing; trying to get an exemption. falling flat.

[u/OutlawHemi99]

Make UAW jobs great again

[u/BruhGamer548]

[u/Hillary4SupremeRuler → u/BruhGamer548]

What's the context for this?

[u/BruhGamer548 → u/Hillary4SupremeRuler]

Some fool respond to an economists prediction of low gdp growth and layoffs

[u/sanmateosfinest]

Stellantis was in the shitter before the tariff announcement. Now they just get a convenient scapegoat for their failing operation.

[u/Hillary4SupremeRuler → u/sanmateosfinest]

Cope

[u/sanmateosfinest → u/Hillary4SupremeRuler]

I don't think that reply works the way you think that it does.

[u/TeachingOvertime → u/sanmateosfinest]

Thanks cult guy… eye roll.

[u/sanmateosfinest → u/TeachingOvertime]

Which cult would that be?

[u/driphanilton → u/sanmateosfinest]

Pretty obvious after a few glances at what you’ve posted in various comment sections

[u/sanmateosfinest → u/driphanilton]

Interesting. I never voted for him.

[u/sanmateosfinest → u/[deleted]]

The hell are you on about? Stellantis has probably laid off 10k workers since 2023, including a big corporate layoff last year. I didn't see you getting outraged about that. Tariffs are not very smart but let's not act like Stellantis was in great financial shape prior to this.

[u/sanmateosfinest → u/[deleted]]

Once again, you've missed the entire point.

[u/SirPoopaLotTheThird → u/sanmateosfinest]

You seem to have the business acumen of Trump.

[u/schm0]

Maga! /s

Edit: sorry didn't think to add the /s

[u/armycowboy-]

Then you find out that every in July that plants shut down to retool for next year’s models, try again troll.

[u/HonestOtterTravel → u/armycowboy-]

What does that have to do with idling a plant in April?

[u/TeachingOvertime → u/HonestOtterTravel]

The cult always has to find an excuse for their felon leader. Trump loves the uneducated for a reason.
