Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do.

Elon Musk quietly deleted a post that said he would hand out two $1 million checks to people who had already voted in a Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Federal law prohibits payments to Americans in exchange for their registering to vote or casting ballots.

The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases
Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs
