This rubber duck museum in a U.S. border town has lost business. Now it's moving to B.C.

If this doesn't cause the MAGA's to stop and think, nothing will. ;)

MAGA will just laugh. But this small business relocation is indicative of the whole US-Canada trade situation under Trump. Now consider the Southern border as well. Multiply this by the millions of businesses similarly effected and the total relocation of wealth adds up to many billions of business dollars leaving the USA permanently.

Rubber duckies are fun; tariffs are not.
 
Deep red Appalachia was finally thrown a bone in the shape of Biden's IRA. Dump took it all away.

Trump pulled the plug on Biden’s funds for Appalachia, and the same MAGA towns he gutted are freaking out: "This is fucked up"

For a brief moment, community organizers in Appalachia thought they were witnessing a once-in-a-generation lifeline. Billions of dollars from the Biden

In Virginia’s Lee County — where 85% voted for Trump and nearly half rely on food stamps — an EPA grant that would have allowed the town of Pennington Gap to demolish a long-flooded, asbestos-ridden supermarket and build a flood-resilient green space was canceled. “People in Appalachia are used to being let down,” said Emma Kelly of Appalachian Voices. “This time we had the money. It was still taken away, and people feel betrayed.”

It's hilarious that the parts of the country that subside almost entirely on government handouts (aka 'the red states' ) are the ones that were most enthusiastic about trump lol

LOL- the only liberal tears are tears of laughter at just how stupid the trumptards really are.....
(for a group so enamoured with 'patriotism' and the like- they sure seem to hate the US don't they- literally being gleeful as the orange clown dismantles every one of its supporting institutions, and trashes its reputation around the world, along with its economy...)

The US as a 'world leader' is done, its toast- it will take decades (if ever) for it to regain the 'soft power' it had up until 2016... (the succession of inept, and some downright evil right wing republican presidents has had its 'authority' gradually decreasing over most of this century, but trump REALLY tanked it....)

Yeah better but I think the first needs to be stronger. Some people see anything they are given as a God-given right. Remember those protesters years back at the dawn of Obamacare "Keep your goddam govt hands off my medicare?"
As an aside, I occasionally check an ex-friends FB page - the BS about Europe and others is piled so high you'd need a jetpack to stay above it.

‘They Voted for This’: 3,200 Meatpacking Workers Thrown in the Trash as Tyson Shuts Plant in 74% Trump Town​


Residents of Lexington, Nebraska, are facing uncertainty after the town’s largest employer announced it will close early next year.

The news, reported Friday by MS NOW, comes from Lexington, the seat of Dawson County, which Donald Trump carried with more than 74 percent of the vote in last year’s election.

Tyson, a meatpacking company, currently employs 3,200 people in Lexington. All of these workers are expected to lose their jobs by January 20, when the plant officially shuts down.

“Have you ever been in a place where you can just feel the pain and the anxiety? That’s what it feels like being here in Lexington, Nebraska,” MS NOW reporter Rosa Flores said. “… People have described to me what’s happening here by using the words ‘catastrophe,’ ‘crisis,’ the feeling of being ‘collateral damage,’ ‘hurt,’ ‘anxiety,’ ‘agony.'”

Officials warn that the closure of the Lexington plant could have a huge impact on the nation’s beef supply. One executive emphasized that Tyson is effectively “destroying five percent of America’s beef processing capacity,” considering the massive amount of cattle processed at the facility each year.

WHY did it close down? From that report:
Tyson was closing the Lexington plant due to cattle supplies hitting a 75-year low in 2025.

A small supply of cattle increases production costs for hamburgers and steaks. Cattle ranchers have seen dwindling herds due to drought reducing the supply of land capable of feeding cattle.

So not actually the Trump admin directly? Just that darned climate weather.

Yeah the link to Trump seems a bit more tenuous than other "leopards eating people's faces" cases. (Its not like they were closing due to repeated ICE raids, or because "Trump Tariffs affected their business".)

There are maybe 2 ways that I can think of that it might be relevant:
- Its been republican dogma for years (and its been re-enforced by Trump) that "global warming is a hoax". But, since its been going on for years/decades, its unlikely their vote in THIS election made a significant difference
- Republicans have shown a distinct lack of empathy. Those workers who are now jobless will find that the type of government support systems that they might have relied on in the past when jobless (such as food stamps, retraining programs, etc.) have been cut back. (Which is more about the aftermath of the plant closure, rather than the closure itself.)
