    I work in construction, and we’ve had no new bids come through in the past 2 weeks. That’s never happened before, even during covid. I’ve noticed a lot less positive talk about Trump when I go into the office, though I doubt even this would be enough to make any of my coworkers reconsider their political views.

      It’s just teams at this point. Trump is just the quarterback that they’re bitching about this season, they’re not switching teams over it.

      We have clients all over, and the tariffs have been a point of concern for many of them. It’s gonna hit businesses hard, especially for shit that is only manufactured overseas.

      i noticed our area, residential houses are bougie enough to use white american construction companies, they probably cost a ton more. and the only other POC that does construction usually caters to asian households only.
