Would be great when Europe stop accepting food imports from the US.
What food? They are going to deport the workforce that harvests it.
There will be still immigrant workers, except they'll have to accept harsher conditions. Expect prison labor for detained migrants.
I suspect they will make rules harsher for some kinds of labor migration, while relax them for other kinds.
Musk has businesses too, especially since he's moving everything to Texas.
What it all looks like for me is the new administration promising and apparently going to do things in exactly the same logic as the previous administration, but with less elaborate excuses. Same power redistribution, but done uglier.
About the effect on the economy and replacing the workforce - it seems that they want Americans to work those jobs. That may be interesting.
Also I think I've read something about having appetites at hitlerizing not just Canada, but also Mexico. Then, it seems, they will come to the workforce. Dunno how that mixes with Trump's bigotry, but future is always unpredictable.
They're going to use more prison labor.
Slavery, it’s called S L A V E R Y.
correct
... or that.
Yeah slavery is just kinda... legal.
I'm pretty sure a lot of stuff would already not be allowed for import here and only the products that pass EU regs can be imported en masse (not like specialty shops/foreign section etc).
