Even after losing his business to Trump’s policies, he stands by his vote: “Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would’ve voted for President Trump again.”
His brother Stephen agrees: “I don’t think I had a choice to vote any other direction.”>
This got me. I would put money on that he would vote for Trump again.
Yeah the logic always stuns me.
"If I vote for a Democrat they'll probably take some of my money through taxes and I'll be poor"
Trump wins and ruins their business, they lose all of their money.
"At least I'm not poor because of evil Democrat taxes"
They have truly been brainwashed. Whatever bad shit republicans do they still believe the Democrats must be worse, because the republicans told them so. Even though the republicans have provably been lying to them for years.
Many Trump supporters would like to consider themselves to be "devoutly religious" (the way the treat others says otherwise, but that's beside the point). People who are "devoutly religious" have a tendency to take things they are told as gospel (pun definitely intended), regardless of how utterly illogical and detached from reality it may be. If the "right" person comes along, 100% of what is said will be believed 100% of the time. It's something that RepubliCons have taken advantage of for years, and it's something that is second nature to con artists like Trump and that Nigerian prince that won't stop sending me gods damned emails.
He would have voted for Trump again, even if HE KNEW his business would go under?! Wtf are these people thinking? That's some royal hate
It's just good old brainwashing. They believe that voting for democrats will ruin their life so they vote for republicans and if republicans ruin their life then it's bad luck.
Yeah because they won't lose a lumber mill this time.
Right?!
“I wish more of my bones were broken”
That's the amazing part. No, not them saying they'd still vote for Trump. The fact that they can still talk with half their face gnawed off. I just wonder - was it because of the "any Democrat/leftist bad" mentality, was it because she was a woman, or what it because she was black? He said it wasn't anything said on the campaign, so it wasn't how badly they tanked her run. Maybe a combo?
If you're going to pull that dead end thinking, then how about trying to change the Republican party to help the American public? (I initially said "better", but we're starting at zero)
First time I’ve seen it with color
Some beautiful day, they'll be able to record a video of it, so we can finally hear what they're playing!
I imagine someone could do the math and figure out the range of possible notes that would come from a violin of that size.
Hopefully they'll take into consideration that the poor water bear never received any formal training and is not playing the instrument properly.
Well well well.
Suppose a normal violin has strings of ~33cm length. The E-string would have a frequency of ~660 Hz. Let's shrink that down to tardigrade dimensions (according to Google, it's about 400μm).
I'm just going to assume the tardigrade violin has a string length of 60μm.
The frequency of strings also depends on tensile stress and mass density - let's just assume that these scale proportionally.
So we can use the formula: f∝1/L (basically means, half the size means double the frequency).
Let's calculate the scale factor s for the frequency:
L(real) = 330mm, f(real) = 660 Hz L(tardi) = 60μm.
s = L(real) / L(tardi) = 0.33 / 6 * 10⁻⁵ = 5500.
This means that the frequency of the tardigrade E-string would be:
f(tardi) = f(real) * s = f(real) * 5500 = 660Hz * 5500 = 3,630,000Hz = 3.63 megahertz, which is 181.5 times above than the human limit of 20kHz.
Difference in octaves... log2(3.63 Mhz / 660 Hz) = 15.7
That means the tardigade E-string is almost 16 octaves above the human one.
It's kind of annoying that 51 people lost their jobs to tariffs and they only write an article about the rich guy at the top of the family empire. But I'm sure that the 50 other families' quests for food and shelter and medicine were pretty boring compared with the breakage of the boss's money-generating machine he inherited.
Granted, he is the one who most deserves the leopardsatemyface recognition.
They probably mostly voted for Trump too. But yeah, the rich guy gets the article.
Don't worry, your lumber mill will still be there, it will just be owned by someone else.
Nah. A lot of these mills don't open back up because it's not profitable enough to retrograde them to handle smaller and smaller trees that are harvested.
You realize the takeaway form this is people know he's a rapist and still support their king right?
40% approval rating btw
conservatives will overlook rapist/SA/Child abuse if it gets thier rocks off on culture war issues, plus many supporters are often the above mentioned themselves, or have predilections towards the deviancies.
Sounds good.
The less money this freak and his family have, the less they can contribute to felons, rapists, insurrectionists, and pedophiles.
Hope it hurts.
I wish it worked that way, but they can still vote and elect all the pedophiles, insurrectionists, rapists, and felons they want.
As a fellow North Carolinian I say fuck him. He got what he voted for.
Oh no! Not the day you voted for! Anything but that!
If your business needed undocumented labor to crawl back into the black, maybe your business acumen isn't as great as you think.
lol
“ To hear nature in a sawmill instead of machines… for any lumberman, that’s unnatural. I don’t want to sound overly dramatic, but it’s as unsettling as watching a loved one take their final breath.”
This guy is blubbering over the fact that he can hear the birds in his shop. He thinks that’s akin to someone in his family dying. Were it coming from any other person it would be “snowflake soy boy” behavior.
Though since his family is just as important as his shop, if he brings one of the younger girls to trump, he might be able to do a little tradie-poo with him.
It’s all enormously pathetic.
Something something, judge a tree by its fruits, something something.
Also, lumber empire?
... 50 employees?
Weyerhauser would laugh, if they even knew this person existed.
Votes Trump even after this.
Bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve.
To hear nature in a sawmill instead of machines… for any lumberman, that’s unnatural
This man hated nature so much that he made a career out of cutting it down, apparently. He heard birds instead of chainsaws for the first time and freaked out
Yeah. That’s eastern NC for you. Where this place is at, not a lot of job opportunities either. The paper mill is about it.
This is also in an area where the local restaurants have nothing but newsmax on the tvs.
Never get to read any of the "I voted for Trump, now I've got a six figure income bashing in the heads of migrants and doing a little light child sex trafficking on the side. Life has never been better" articles, even though I'm confident there's at least as many of the latter.
If this guy can't turn a profit in an unprecedented period of unregulated clear cutting and skyrocketing lumber prices... Idk. Maybe he just didn't want it enough.
But this fiction of the "Sad Trumper" has got to be tempered by reality. There's a line around the block of Andrew Tates and Changpeng Zhaos who are loving a fellow scammer nonce in the White House.
