    Huh, Americans eat a lot of beans too, they don't call Boston Beantown for nothing and last I checked, Boston isn't a city where Mexican Americans make up a sizable portion of the populace. Texas white boys love themselves some Chili Beans too. Beaner is just a dumb slur, like making fun of Americans for eating hamburger, like you're a hamburgerer, it's goofy. Same as tacos, you whiteys love wolfing it down. Same applies to black people and fried chicken, something wrong with you if you don't like fried chicken, it's basically a staple in a gang of cultures. And who doesn't love watermelons too Making fun of an ethnicity for what they eat always seemed low IQ to me, especially if it's enjoyed by other cultures, I love rice, making fun of Asians for liking what I like is retarded

    Responding to racism with racism is in fact racist, dawg. You don't fight the enemy with their own evil tactics. Telling yourself it's not racist might make you able to sleep at night, but it's the same shit they're doing.

    It's the internet, I troll right back. Being a racist irl matters, not what you say in a dying message board. I have never insulted a person by their race in person because I'm not built like that. I have never attacked your heritage even when we have had our beefs in the past, and that's because you don't attack mine, see?

    "Stellantis has said it is temporarily laying off 900 workers across five U.S. facilities following the announcement of sweeping tariffs from President Donald Trump, Reuters reported.

    In a statement to Newsweek, Stellantis wrote: "As a result of pausing production at several of Stellantis' Canadian and Mexican plants, there will be temporary layoffs at the Warren Stamping and Sterling Stamping plants (Michigan) as well as the Indiana Transmission Plant, Kokomo Transmission Plant and Kokomo Casting Plant (Indiana)."

    Newsweek reached out to the U.S. Treasury for comment via email.
    Why It Matters

    Trump announced plans to impose higher tariff rates on dozens of countries that run trade surpluses with the United States on Wednesday, which he called "Liberation Day." While Trump has argued that these tariffs are necessary to restore U.S. manufacturing, economists have warned that companies will pass off the prices to American consumers, resulting in higher prices."
    They'll start making those parts again when the production is moved back to the US.

    Stellantis has committed to reopening its shuttered Belvidere Assembly plant in Illinois to build an all-new mid-size pickup truck in 2027 and return approximately 1,500 union-represented jobs, the United Auto Workers announced in a press release Wednesday.

    Stellantis also announced plans to build the next generation Dodge Durango SUV at its Detroit Assembly Complex in Michigan, which was previously canceled, according to the UAW.

    In the letter to employees, Elkann also announced the company’s other plans. They include investments in additional technologies for Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator production at its Toledo Assembly Complex, as well as components critical to production at its Toledo Machining Plant. Stellantis also plans to invest in its Kokomo, Indiana facilities to produce the GMET4 EVO engine for future models.

    It's barely 100 days into his term. Go look when my criticism started on how your boy Biden was doing shit. Sure as hell wasn't after just 100 days.

    Biden isn't my boy. He's just a tad less right leaning than Trump and he was criticized before he was even inaugurated.

    Yeah if you want industry to come back, the government needs to help out also but this dumbass one does the opposite, they cut the CHIPs Act that was supposed to help manufacturers come to America

    It's hilarious you think Trump is using tariffs to encourage manufacturers to the US, it's for nefarious reasons, pick one of several theories out there.

    There hasn't been one example in history of limiting trade and trying to become self-sufficient being good for a Country. The most recent 1:1 example of what's going on right now is literally Hitler's Germany.

    Autarky:
    The Nazi government implemented a policy of "Autarky," aiming to make Germany self-sufficient by producing all the goods it needed, reducing reliance on imports.

    Limited Trade Partners:
    The Nazi government favored trade with countries within their sphere of influence, signing bilateral trade agreements with countries in Southern and South-Eastern Europe.

    Economic Dependence:
    The goal was to use economic and political power to make these countries dependent on Germany, with Germany drawing raw materials from the region in exchange for German manufactured goods.

    Trade with Specific Countries:
    Germany also maintained productive trade relationships with countries like Spain, Switzerland, and Sweden for specific resources and services.

    Cartels and Monopolies:
    German businesses were encouraged to form cartels, monopolies, and oligopolies, whose interests were then protected by the state.

    Rationing of Consumer Goods:
    Reduced foreign trade led to rationing of consumer goods like poultry, fruit, and clothing for many Germans.

    Economic Strain:
    The German economy became strained as it tried to meet its import demands, leading to shortages and a decline in quality of goods.

    Focus on Rearmament:
    Hitler dictated that shortages should hit normal Germans instead of hindering the rearmament effort.
    Source is AI, but this is all common knowledge out of any middle school history book.

    Hitler gave the big govt contracts to his buddies at Mercedes Benz and Hugo Boss. That is NOT a free market, and definitely NOT fair competition. The bolded part is so "writing on the wall" it isn't even funny. That's literally Musk, Bezos and Zuck right now.

    Their economy was somewhat sustainable due to literal labor camps(we're building one in Guantanamo, don't worry) and it still caused economic strain.

    Everyone who is paying attention sees the parallels to Nazi Germany, but try telling that to MAGA and they just rage and fill their diapers
