Or what they'll be not paid harder?

He’s a demented narcissist, so it’s likely that’s his plan. He might also be putting tariffs on them, somehow.

I mean.. If he doesn't pay them harder then yeah it might sink into the invert so.. Negative money means he'd find a way to make them pay the government back or something so probably.

Love how he claims they will be replaced. By whom? No one will take a job that's actively being cut, defunded, and forced to work without pay. Good luck with that.
