I'm starting to regret voting for Trump. :(

Donald Trump's Tariffs are even affecting slot games as well. :/ I JUST learned from WOV that the Tariffs are causing broken slots that were manufactured from overseas to be replaced rather than fixed. I was wondering why slots that were there in my local Casino for years were suddenly gone. :/

Were the broken slots that could not be fixed due tariff-caused lack of parts from overseas replaced with new American-made slots? Or were they new foreign slots? Thereby, if they could get new foreign made slots, why couldn't they get foreign made parts? Maybe the slots were plain old and not worth repairing to begin with.

Interesting, I’ve noticed some older machines that have broken down and they have been turned off for weeks, when it the past it will normally take just a few days at most for it to be back up.

So everyone should go around breaking perceived persistence machines at their local casinos so they will be forced to replace them all with beatable machines.

Also, I had no idea that some of my Family would be getting deported/sent back when I voted for Trump. I wouldn't have voted for Trump if I got a do over.

Any immigrant who was so dumb to vote for the guy aiming to deport their family should be deported as it will strengthen the country to not have such stupidity breeding.

I am not an Immigrant. I was born and raised in the United States and my Parents were both United States Citizens en I was born. And I had NO idea that my Family would be getting deported under Trump's Presidency when I voted for him. My ONLY concern was money when I voted for Trump.

The money thing may still work out OK in the end.

Less family to support = more money to go around.

I have to hand it to you, in that you sure sucked in MrV, with the Axl stories. Ha.

Bah.

Using my powers of discernment coupled to my ability to travel through time I quickly established exactly what game was afoot and how best to play.

.
first T said he was going to deport all illegal immigrants

then he changed his mind and said he wouldn't deport those who worked on farms, or in hotels and restaurants

then he changed his mind again and said he would resume the effort to deport all illegal immigrants

then just a few days ago he said farm workers would be exempted - they won't be deported

so, you mean to tell me American citizens are going to be cleaning toilets in office buildings_________?

businesses are going to have to pay a lot more than minimum wage to get an American to do that

and there are a helluva lot of other low level jobs that are almost never done by American citizens

he's going to hurt a lot of businessmen and Managers who were his supporters who are involved in hiring those illegals who are necessary to support those businesses

a lot of businesses are going to have a very tough time with staffing

it's hard for me to envision all of this will play out

Here's a potential "solution," although "nothing is perfect:"

Allow illegals in, conditionally.

The conditions: they MUST remain gainfully employed;

They must not commit any crimes as serious as a gross misedemeanor or felony;

They can NEVER qualify for citizenship, nor can any child they spawn born here;

They can NEVER qualify for or receive any government benefits, including welfare, SNAP, social security disability and medicaid;

If injured on the job they would participate in worker's comp, and their employers would pay to cover them, same as for a citizen; and

They need not pay federal, state or city income tax on wages, or they pay at a much reduced rate.

Here's the thing, dude.

Once you "allow' them in, then they really aren't/weren't illegal, are they? I thought you were supposedly a lawyer.

[MisterV]

Huh?

Does not compute.

If you're currently legal then it wouldn't apply to you, would it?

Who has allowed them in?

They may have come in on a temporary allowance and then overstayed their welcome: hello, illegal...out ya go...

Oh, are you concerned about the humanitarian side, the outrage over kicking out illegals and their broods after they've lived here for decades and become assimilated?

I'm not...fuck compassion.

America for Americans and those here legally.

Period.
