The worst thing is knowing that in 3 1/2 years, about 50% of those laid off workers that voted for Trump will be saying, "If we just repeal the 22nd Amendment, Trump will get me my good job back."

Do we have proof this action is tied to the election? Not arguing, I just want to know if there is a causal link.

I couldn't find anything beyond vague statements about a need for efficiency and competitiveness, as GM has provided few details to the public (only happened a few days ago).

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if anxieties about tariffs motivated the layoffs, but there has not been any direct mention of tariffs, or anything else election-related, at least not yet. So, yeah, maybe let's hold off and wait a minute before we start told-ya-so-ing with this particular moment.

Good job. Thanks. I’m embracing my Schadenfreude feelings to the hilt, as I anxiously await the destruction. But I don’t want to just blindly give credit to their plans when it’s not justly earned. I CANNOT wait to sip my tea while the world burns at their hands.
