The intelligence of the American electorate eludes detection.
Millions of votes were cast without thought or introspection.
Despite the Dem’s campaign spending,
It looks like democracy’s ending,
Because rapist, felon, grifter Donald Trump has won re-election.
GlobalPets.com: The Pet Food Institute (PFI) warns that imposing these additional tariffs on consumer goods will increase the production costs of canned cat and dog food. “Those costs will be passed down to Americans who rely on affordable, quality canned pet food,” the PFI warns.
The US does not manufacture a sufficient supply of tinplate steel and relies on imports from other countries. The trade association representing American pet food and treat manufacturers told GlobalPETS that around 62% of tinplate steel was imported last year.
Consumer Brands Association (CBA) stated that if the tariffs go into effect, companies will be forced to raise food prices, which could decrease domestic output, placing up to 2,800 tinplate manufacturing jobs in danger.
It is estimated that the cost of canned food and products could increase between 19% and 30% if the new tariff receives the green light from US officials. Additionally, up to 40,000 manufacturing jobs could be cut.
Boing Boing: If anti-Trump Republicans like Mitt Romney and Mike Pence aren’t courageous enough to endorse Kamala Harris, how can we expect an anti-Trump voter married to a trigger-happy MAGA bully to speak up? Well, in the voting booth she doesn’t have to, says a new Lincoln Project ad called “Secret.”
Julia Roberts narrates the ad for the Lincoln Project:
Pundits say that Trump’s $5,000 midterm bribe was an overreach,
And they agree that if lies were a crime, he’d be impeached.
Despite all the dividend promises he’s made,
The fact is, not one has ever been paid,
So even before the midterms, he already owes us $8,000* each.
*$5000 stimulus checks via “DOGE dividend”; $2000 stimulus checks via a “tariff dividend”; $1000-plus checks via “savings” from expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies
