When store shelves go bare and shipping comes to a halt

[Beachnutt]

it has a ripple effect that hits everyone in one way or another.
I will name one and you name one and so on...
Truck drivers are laid off, and in turn wait staff at truckstops are laid off and in turn....

[creon]

1. It certsinly could

It certsinly could come to that.
I wonder how the RW will try to spin it.

[ananda]

7. I wonder how long things will be spinnable.

The spin, even now, is not working in swing states
like it used to.

I don't expect it to be that long when it doesn't even
work with some Magats.

[creon]

23. Hard to say

It does not work with me at all.
The RW media is working hard to sugar coay evrything.

2. Store clerks

You don’t need cashiers if there is nothing to sell.

[ananda]

9. LOL.

You wouldn't even have a store left to pee in.

[Keepthesoulalive]

12. Let's hope we haven't gone maga

And start to pee where we shop.

3. Restaurant employees...

4. Uber Lyft

5. Red states will be hit the hardest with the tariffs and bare shelves.

It makes me wonder how many Walmart truck drivers will be laid off being that the National headquarters are in Bentonvile, Arkansas. A state that was pro-tRump 3 times and was denied disaster relief.

Many small town jobs and economies will be decimated by tRump's trade policies. Even the Dollar and Dollar General stores rely on imported merchandise from China and elsewhere. No merchandise to buy is going to piss off millions of people, as well as at inflated prices.

6. Lot lizards lose clientele

[Ziggysmom]

14. Lot lizards? What kind of......oh never mind...I Googled it.

I’m getting dense in my old age!

[stillcool]

8. delivery drivers

nothing to sell, nothing to ship.

[Beachnutt]

11. People laid off can't make their house note or car payment

so car sales folks laid off, realtors go broke.
Can't afford child care so daycare people lose jobs, and on and on

17. UPS already announced layoffs --12,000 IIRC. nt

[stillcool]

22. I heard that mentioned

the other day but didn't see it at all online. It was a music station which was strange as they don't do news. I figured I'd gotten it wrong.

[Sogo]

10. No one has identified the scope of what's to come.

They're talking recession.

Uh, uh....It will be a full blown depression.

....

[slightlv]

20. Full blown depression to match or outdo

the Great Depression, is what I've been saying since he first started talking about enacting tariffs. I don't know why repugs think they know anything about economics... they can't think critically about anything, no matter how large or small the subject! But then, I really think all this is just to bring about the downfall of the country and the dollar. Replace the dollar with crypto currency that he, in turn, can point to his offshore bank accounts.

13. A tremendous number of people live paycheck to paycheck in the USA, the

the resulting clamor is going to be impossible to stifle IMO.

[Tarzanrock]

15. The difference today

The difference today is that in the past 50 years when things got bad such as in Republican economic recessions, the government was there with help for the American people to get through those bad economic times. That isn't going to happen this time around. The Turd and the Mu$k DOGE Fascists have essentially dismantled the requisite governmental services sector which has historically provided that economic "safety net" for times of dire economic trouble. This time around, the Turd economic recession will be a lot like 1929 when there were few governmental agencies equipped to help out with the calamitous miseries which will be inflicted by the Turd's coming economic catastrophe.

16. Oh yea. The fan is about to become a manure speader

We've got about a week. I said we'd be in a recession by my birthday, which is in early June.

18. This motherfucker is doing to the United States what Osama Bin Laden only said he would do.

21. People will lose health insurance and won't seek medical care except ER
