    Volvo Group prepares for 800 layoffs across three US sites amid tariff challenges

    Volvo Group plans to lay off as many as 800 workers at three U.S. facilities over the next three months due to market uncertainty and demand concerns in the face of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, a spokesperson said on Friday.

    Volvo Group North America said in a statement it has told employees it plans to lay off 550-800 people at its Mack Trucks site in Macungie, Pennsylvania, and two Volvo Group facilities in Dublin, Virginia and Hagerstown, Maryland.




  • While I have my own ASSuMEd feelings about the buffoon, I don’t think insulting his intelligence does anything for anybody and saying that he is lying on this instance can’t really be proven and still doesn’t help anything.

    What I do think is that the regime is hell bent on reducing the cost of the federal government by removing any expense that cannot directly or indirectly line their pockets. And after reading this, I think it is clear that they want to completely eliminate income tax.

    Remove social programs and tax people on essentials and capitalism will die as the means of production will suffer and parish. Or slavery will be the next thing to come back.



  • It’s such an easy concept. I can’t figure out if they actually don’t get it because they are so narcissistic and why would anyone appreciate a few million in aid or if they are just playing stupid to posture to their base and be able to do even worse while everyone is distracted.

    I think the later might be more accurate and I’m really curious what else I am missing.



  • I was a Bernie and Hillary voter as well. I also failed to convince a number of other Bernie voters that they had to support Hillary.

    She held too far center for too long and a lot of Bernie voters didn’t trust her or the party. Hell, even when she announced a push for an amendment in her first 30 days I didn’t buy it would happen but I also knew we needed to keep Trump out.

    Really I still didn’t trust the party. I still don’t think we have enough progressives and will still do what we need to keep corporate donors happy above the voting public.

    Money is speech and it has the loudest platform.
