Yep, getting into a if it happens it happens mood. But I'll save my angst till Trump does get in and then have a good rant about how fecked things are going to be in a number of aspects of the globe, and how little the US voter won't care... until the realities of the interdependence of the world economies strikes them hard and then they'll blame everybody but themselves.

It made me think about our Temporary Foreign Worker program, which like the US it seems, heavily relies in it for agriculture. The article mostly talks about construction and it seems there are several more hurdles to jump to get and keep workers for non-ag jobs: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-tem ... a-programs

The man is a literal drooling moron. Peter Thiel will get his catamite to invoke the 25th amendment and you will have the start of an oligarch controlled executive that does away with US political institutions and rules for the benefit of the billionaires.
