For years, Mackeys Ferry Sawmill in North Carolina depended on overseas buyers in China and Vietnam after domestic demand for premium hardwood declined. But when President Donald Trump launched his escalating trade war, the mill’s owners say the damage was immediate and ultimately irreversible. By July—just months after Trump declared his “Liberation Day” tariffs—they made the decision to shut the operation down entirely.
In a recent episode of the Big Take podcast, Bloomberg economics correspondent Shawn Donnan traveled to the “Old North State” to trace how one of America’s oldest trades was shaken by Trump’s tariff battles, and to hear how the mill’s owners now feel about the president they once supported at the ballot box.
Then you deserve this. So shut up and fuck off. Fuck your family and its business and your complete stupidity that led to their financial downfall. Cherry on top is you said you’d do it again you dense POS…
You said you’d do it again despite witnessing a generational economical effect…
You are that awful… Hell you straight up offered ammo for anyone to see how your stupidity has been weaponized beyond yourself…
Kind of drives me nuts how many of these random articles there are and the people interviewed still say they’d vote for Trump. Like, what is the point of your interview then? You got what you voted for?
"I lost my job, my house, and most of my friends. My kids won’t talk to me, my retirement is wiped out, and I have to pass through 12 armed checkpoints to go anywhere in town.
But I’m also seeing fewer people putting pronouns in their bio, so I guess it was all worth it."
“The TV is telling me thst fewer people are putting pronouns in their bio.”
Eating that pronouns soup.
Seriously.
“Trump destroyed my multi generation family business, but I’d rather lose my multi generation family business than have a black, female, Democrat for president.”
That’s the level of brainwashing we’re dealing with. It’s profound.
But the tv told me there’s crime in a city I have never been to and will never go! It had to be done
Dog! There’s a book in a library in a school in a state I don’t live in that mentions trans. I have no other choice here…
he would also said she “laughs like a hyena”
he also said “there are some things he regrets” so he means he doesnt really regret he voted for him.
“The racism and sexism are great, but the destroying my livelihood thing, not so much”
The thing that gets me is that were Republican primaries. Had they had one shred of sense, they could have voted for a Republican candidate that wasn’t going to flip tables over.
They won’t even admit that another candidate would have been a better choice.
So then… you got the idiot that you wanted and you’re getting the policies that you deserve.
they are looking for which R candidate will kiss trumps ass, not a moderate or what R is these days.
Get fucked, Wilson.
On my clipboard I already have that paragraph copied. I was going to paste it, and say something that may not be word for word exact, but essentially identical in tone and message.
But I see you have it covered before I got here.
