My bro in law sells boba tea supplies from Taiwan to all your favorite boba tea stores.
He had a container that he was about to send but cancelled it because his margin is less than 10% and his stores he supports also runs a lean margin.
Last week he decided to close one of his warehouses in Portland, letting go of 20 people and a few hundred stores that depend on him.
When asked why he doesn't just up the price, he said that if he did, the mass majority of the stores he supports won't make it and the Oregon warehouse is barely breaking even.
Funny thing about him is that he sat out this election and now he regrets it.
what, like Oregon could've gone 70% democratic instead of 55%?
He is registered in the outskirts of Clark County in NV. His vote counted there.
His vote WOULD HAVE counted there, HAD THEY BOTHERED.
Emphasis mine.
His vote, or more correctly, his choice not to vote, definitely still counted, just not in the way we would have preferred.
ouch, this always hurts. I choose to still have empathy with him, even if he did make a extremely stupid decision.
It's not like it would've made a difference in Oregon. There's like only a couple 100000 swing voters that really matter when it comes to the presidency. (Local issues might still make it worth coming out for tho).
Stupid? No. Selfish.
No sympathy. Dumbass got what he voted for, that he didn't care if Trump won and did exactly what he said he was going to do. So why the sudden change of heart? Selfish fuck only cares when it impacts him personally.
I have less than zero sympathy for your BIL.
tell him some random asshole on the Internet hopes he feels like a fucking idiot for the rest of his miserable life.
Did you ever ask him what policies or other actions the democrats could have taken to get his vote?
He said he honestly felt like the democrats weren't listening to him. He's a small business owner that is struggling and outside of AOC or Bernie, the democrats system wasn't setting himself up for success.
Who cares. Fuck him.
