"Do I agree with an article posted to this garbage community?"

As Christians, of course, we recognize that we all have sins for which to repent. Nonetheless, few of us will envy John Deere executives when the time comes to explain their decisions to God.

Totally off the rails.

Furthermore, the brand of leadership offered by former President Donald Trump, the soon-to-be Republican nominee for president in 2024, has the advantage of blending pro-America trade policies with pro-growth fiscal and regulatory policies.

And completely delusional. Trump and the Republican party since Reagan are most responsible for policies allowing the offshoring of jobs

In sum, a constitutional republic requires “moral and religious” business leaders like those of the World War II Era. Business leaders motivated by greed will destroy the country and its people.

It's funny, the only president to ever serve three terms and actually win a fourth, the one who presided over the entirety of WW2 save for the last month due to his death, who saw the country out of the great depression, was a Democrat and often called a socialist and a communist by conservatives.

It's almost like conservatives want everything to go to shit so that they can personally profit from the chaos, everyone else be damned. Oh wait, yeah that's exactly it.

FDRs policies did not get the U.S. economy turned around it was the war. The economy did not improve in FDRs first 8 years unemployment was between 15-20% then pearl harbor, the draft, and a huge increase in military spending, happened and unemployment dropped to 5%.

Ouch. The problem was correctly identified in the article: greed, pure unabated greed.

That Trump, the personification of American greed and selfishness, would be presented as the solution to this is so delusional it's baffling to me.

How many illegal immigrants were part of making the decision to hike dividends and move jobs out of the country they're trying to live in? None! If there are any immigrants then they would be the type to have E-1, E-2 or EB-5 visas.

I'm GLAD we gave THEM our Taxpayer Dollars instead of LITERAL STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN!

I must say, my fellow Tories, John Deere is doing an excellent job. As a board member, I've watched my profits skyrocket with absolute haste. It gave me the same exhilaration as the intimate acts we used to perform with deceased pigs. Truly, capitalism at its finest!
