“So MAGA wanted tariffs to bring manufacturing back to the US. But when a company tries to open a plant here, MAGA undermines it. Once again you proved what an embarrassment your party is to our country,” a user wrote under one of Branum’s Instagram posts.

Branum’s Instagram has since been set to private.

I don't mind the leopards eating HER face, but why do all her would-be constituients have to suffer for her racist idiocy? MAGA or not, people want that factory to run smoothly.

It's more that it shows the idiocy of the current government.

All those new plants will need foreign workers. Farmers need foreign workers. Big city delis need foreign workers.

But they're dead set on making the USA dangerous for foreigners.

Well... They can go suck a $10 egg.

They don't need foreign workers, just wage slavery... Or better yet just slavery.

All they need to do is expand the law that makes it legal to use inmates as slaves.

Edit: I know that it's happening already. That's in the second half of my comment? Is my english that bad? The key word is expand!

Those Korean workers in that factory under construction were knowledge workers. Good luck getting a battery factory up and running with random bunch of inmates.

[–] Kingcong@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think that already exists. Companies in some states can hire inmates to work for 10s of cents to a few dollars an hour. That is basically slavery wages

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's the prison industrial complex. Legal slavery.

Some prisons force workers to work at fast food places my dude

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What happens if prisoners refuse to work?

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You lose privileges and won’t be able to afford basic necessities like toothpaste or toilet paper.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's dystopian as fuck.

Note to self: Don't let the cops take you alive.

Capitalism + Slavery = American prison system

[–] db2@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

They can already use minors for unpaid labor that way. And I don't mean community service.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Uh, that already exists. A large part of “Made in USA” is slave prison labour.

That law is the US constitution.

Her potential voters have to suffer for her racist idiocy because that was the choice she made. Her beliefs, her decisions, and her actions took options away from a lot of people. That's the job she's applying for, one in which she makes those kinds of decisions for about 800k people. I wouldn't hire her.
