Trump administration's war on immigrants projected to shrink GDP by 6.8% for 2025: turns out that in addition to arrest/deportation, three times as many workers have left the USA voluntarily ... and meanwhile, employers are carrying out mass layoffs because their businesses are no longer viable ("legal" US citizens aren't exactly lining up to work in the fields).
Slump is deepening, heading for Great Depression 2.0.

REMEMBER BOYS & GIRLS & OTHERWISE
the #1 goal of capitalists is to manufacture #poverty.
this coming second “Great Depression” is not inevitable. it is rigged by the billionaire class & their bootlickers who don’t want us exchanging our labor ―aka goods and services― among ourselves & without them as the middlemen.
we aren't worthless just because a billionaire mafia says so.
the more we de-finance our lives & reject techbro inevitability, the more worthless CAPITALISTS become.
