When grocery prices rise exponentially next year because of the mass deportation of the people that produce our food and bring it to market. Who will MAGA’s blame?
1. Big city ‘know it all’ liberals
2. Transgenders
3. Black people.
4. Me, because I voted for a [BLEEP]
5. Taylor Swift.
Don’t forget to blame Hunter.
We can’t take your MAGA very seriously if you’re not also blaming Hunter for something.
If they wouldn't have suppressed that laptop story Trump would have won, and then the $2000 checks he was in favor of would have rolled out and there would be no inflation! YAAAS!

What we should be restricting is the H1B1 Visas in which people are coming in from India & China taking our preferred IT and other technology jobs. That's becoming a major issue with our younger generation, with all the profits going to the corporations that hire them.
Regarding inflation related to groceries, one needs to look no further than the Publix financial statements to see they are not simply passing on increased costs but rather keeping prices inflated while their costs have gone down. Corporate Greed at its finest.
Updated: Also, in the event there would be a mass deportation, the Gov would bail out the farmers as we already subsidize farmers $30 billion per year. Simply increase our Deficit because when it comes down to it, nobody really cares about the Deficit as we live in a society that wants what's best for now. I'm not being sarcastic but would people rather pay $1 less for their romaine lettuce or know the Deficit is being reduced by that $1 ?

Hello? The cap on H1B's is 60,000 per year. That's 0.04% of the workforce. Tech has used H1B's for decades. It's not a problem.

Sorry, turns out that's not true.

As to corporate profits and inflation, there is a minor issue here -- namely that profit margins soared after the 2008 recession; margins were much lower before then. They did go up after 2020, but probably not as much as you'd think. I.e. figuring out how much of inflation is due to corporate profit-taking would require a bit of work to suss out.

Bet you that's where Hurricane works.
Ignore the farm guys, just focus on my garden over here. I've been trying to get someone to fix my garden for years!

Man, never thought I’d see someone go so hard to be able to take advantage of people. Bet you’d have started a thread complaining that the cotton wasn’t going to pick itself. Wow.

Not like Trump does. He does it for the attention and any money he can get from it. And he has no interest at all in the actual work of government. Trump makes a joke of our system, and trashes it. He just wants to make government into a bad reality show where he is the star. He is all talk and no action. His only use for government is to abuse any power he gets from it and destroy what little faith there is left in it as a means to help the American people.

Let's play a game. I will post pictures of people and you genital-obsessed MAGAs can tell me what bathroom that person should be using. Here's the first two:

Better idea.. Democrats use Democrat bathrooms and Republicans use Republican only bathrooms.

Sounds like a reasonable take. I second it.
