  • I got a friend in the Bureau of Workers Compensation in Ohio, and this might be anecdotal, but they’ve mentioned several times how businesses in Springfield that couldn’t find good work absolutely welcomed and embraced the Haitian population and how it has turned around several smaller businesses that he works with.

    One business owner specifically talked about how he couldn’t keep anyone, and how he had to fire a few people that would come in fucked up on pain killers or drunk because it became too much of a problem and fucked with his insurance rates after a particular incident. My BWC friend mentioned how the Haitian population came in to the area and hiring some of them might work out well, so he did it. He says it’s been fantastic. They didn’t have any of that baggage, worked hard and showed up on time every day. He has to have an interpreter but he said it was absolutely worth it just to not have to deal with the turnover and no-shows.



  • Trump told people they were struggling and only he could fix it.

    Kamala told people the economy was rebounding and they were gonna create more opportunities for the middle class.

    People didn’t give a shit about what opportunities they were given. They also didn’t give a shit about a rebounding economy because none of them were feeling things getting better. Media kept saying real wages beat inflation finally. Only after 3 years of insane inflation where wages in no way kept up.

    So sure, the economy is better than it was, and better than the rest of the world. But the shock happened and nothing was done to actually help the people that were suffering. Instead they were told by Democrats that ‘it could have been worse! And it will be worse under Trump’ basically admitting they weren’t really interested in helping.

    So Trump, despite him not actually caring or really planning to do anything about it, stayed on message with something that resonated to voters. While Kamala assumed people wanted to start businesses? People can’t afford food but sure, let’s talk about how they have some opportunity to open a mom and pop shop across from Walmart.
