So much for Communists being the party of the workers.
The tariffs are probably not affecting their markets yet, but in a totalitarian society, the perception is everything. They have to maintain the illusion of control, and when it appears that don’t have it, all hell can break loose. Wishful thinking perhaps, but that is how color revolutions are started by the CIA.
So the tariffs Trump just put into place caused the workers not to be paid for MONTHS before the fact. Yeah, right.
When a company isn’t making payroll, it either lacks a viable business model, lacks competent financial management, or the operators have looted the place. My guess is that this situation is a three-fer. The cheated employees better enjoy their riot, because that’s all they are going to get.
The tariffs are not affecting their pay. If they’re not getting back pay, that’s on whoever pays them. My understanding is that this has been an issue from before Trump implemented the tariffs.
