Trump's administration is, of course, trying to speedrun Idiocracy. I think too many people won't care until their daily life is impacted though. When they go to the store and they're out of beans, or can't get a new gas guzzling truck because the price doubled. What ICE is doing is terrible, but concentration camps are someone else's problem, somewhere far away, if you don't want to care about them.
I'm wondering where we are on that track. When you want to do something you've always done, but you just can't anymore. When even MAGAts can't pretend that things aren't worse.
I was a federal government contractor and I was laid off about ten weeks ago.
The current economy is a wasteland when it comes to hiring in my field (Frontend Web Development and UI/UX Design).
I went from a comfortable lifestyle to struggling with the worry of becoming homeless.
That sucks, sorry to hear it. That's exactly the sort of thing I was wondering about though. You can't just say "whoopsies" and undo major economic shifts like that. It takes a while to see the effects manifested, but once you do it's far too late to fix it.
