Move over Jerry Springer, you have nothing over CS for entertainment value.

You're right Rachie, and it's a real shame that he's dissing his allies. Canada has been a close ally with the US and we're neighbours but he doesn't give a damn if he ruins these relationships that were once great. He doesn't care who or what he destroys as long as he gets his way and he's been like that right through his own personal business dealings. He has no conscience.

What's with the "low IQ rhetoric" statement? Is there a need to insert an insult when discussing this?

In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter where the manufacturers get the components to produce products in the US if the bottom line is that an American man or woman is gainfully employed in the US and not living on the dole along with their families? As far as the nuclear plants go, it's not my comment but part of the article I posted so don't shoot the messenger.

People will applaud as long as they aren't the ones losing their jobs and let's hope the fallout of these tariffs doesn't turn into a nightmare for everyone including those worldwide.....looks like it's heading that way...it's just the beginning.

From an article dated July 5, 2018....

"Despite his promising to be “the greatest jobs producer that God ever created” after winning the presidency, Trump’s recent slew of overseas tariffs has led to an increasing number of job losses at home.

America’s largest nail manufacturer, Mid-Continent Nail, became the first company to lay off employees as a result of Trump’s tariffs in mid-June. The Missouri-based company made its nails with steel imported from Mexico, but Trump’s 25% tax on steel dealt a blow to production. Sixty employees lost their jobs, and the whole company—which employs 500—could be out of business by Labor Day, said the Washington Post.

REC Silicon, which produces polysilicon for solar equipment, laid off 100 employees Monday as a “direct result of the ongoing solar trade dispute between China and the United States,” said company officials. The manufacturer has been closed off to the Chinese market since 2014, affecting overall sales. The Washington state-based company has reduced production to about a quarter of capacity due to these trade disputes.


Industry coalitions have warned that tariff increases will cause job losses in the future. The Solar Energy Industries Association estimated that new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration will lead to the loss of 23,000 jobs in the U.S. solar sector. BMW and General Motors each sent letters to the Commerce Department warning that new tariffs could lead to higher car prices and job cuts at production plants. Volvo had promised to hire 4,000 new employees for a new plant in South Carolina, but has said it may have to break this promise as a result of new tariffs.

Harley-Davidson announced it would be moving some of its U.S. production elsewhere after retaliatory tariffs from the European Union raised U.S. motorcycle tariffs from 6% to 31%, adding nearly $2,200 to the average cost of one of its bikes. The company has not said how many jobs will be affected by this move.

U.S. Steel and Century Aluminum have announced it will hire new workers as a result of Trump’s tariffs, creating a combined 800 jobs, but this number is dwarfed by the number that could be lost in the coming months.

While the White House has argued that these tariffs will bring jobs back to the U.S., the U.S. Chamber of Commerce argues in a new campaign that 2.6 million American jobs could be lost as a result of “recent and proposed trade actions by the Trump administration.”

RE: How High Have You Been?

I totally forgot about land elevations so in that case, so replace the CN tower with the Bear Tooth pass in Wyoming at 10,947 feet above sea level. Now that was scary being a passenger and seeing the edge of the road right next to the car door.

RE: How High Have You Been?

The CN Tower in Toronto is the highest I've ever been.....1,815.3 ft

RE: Say Anything

I hear ya Bear, it serves no purpose other than to create a bigger divide between peeps.

RE: "Saint" Hildebees, yeah.well to some people she is.......................

This is only one and no doubt there will be more.

"Element Electronics, a consumer electronics company in South Carolina, says it will be closing its plant in Winnsboro due to tariffs imposed by President Trump.

The State reported Tuesday that the company was one of the largest remaining employers in Fairfield County after the local Walmart, which used to be the largest grocery store in the county, closed its door two years ago.

The news also comes after plans were canceled to build two nuclear reactors in the area, terminating 5,000 construction jobs.

"When you think you've reached rock bottom, to get kicked in the gut like this, you didn't think anything more could happen," state Sen. Mike Fanning (D) said of Element's announcement to the local paper. "Within 365 days, you just get rocked to your core."
Element said "the layoff and closure is a result of the new tariffs that were recently and unexpectedly imposed on many goods imported from China, including the key television components used in our assembly operations in Winnsboro," in a letter to the state's Department of Employment and Workforce obtained by the local paper.

The company said in the letter that it hopes the closure will be temporary and added that it could reopen the plant in "three to six months, but we cannot predict this with any certainty at this time."

The company said it plans to start laying off workers in October, a move that will reportedly cost the county 126 jobs."

If Hillary has done all that is stated in your post, then that should have been dealt with at the time. I see no point in this to be honest.

RE: Quotes, passages, words or wisdom

"Sometimes people say things they immediately regret, but then later are glad they said it. Sometimes people never say anything for fear of being judged. Sometimes people talk all the time and we never hear a word they say. Sometimes people speak only when spoken to and are always heard by one. 90% of our communication is unspoken." ~ Posted in a forum
