Even if you get jobs back too many young people don't know how to work. They're not interested! They rather get handouts and have the day off. Either that or opioids! Mexicans all got turned back at the border. Turns out mexico is going to build and pay for a wall, but its the southern border to central america! You got punked america! Mexico punked trump! . |

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. If you had READ the article, you would have known that they have been LOCKED OUT of the Chinese markets since 2014, because China doesn’t want competition for strategic Industries. That is EXACTLY what Trump is doing now, to China. Let us know when you get that recto- cranial inversion done. |

Wholly owned by a MEXICAN COMPANY. The wire used to make the nails is made in Mexico. It would be wise to NOT take these layoffs at face value... may be more of a publicity stunt that you are falling for. Have a nice day = GFY. GFY = Go Fuck Yourself. If this offends you then have a nice day. |

What are we going to do without nails, really they are the most basic thing and we won't have them anymore. How are we going to build anything without nails? I am heading out to the hardware store to buy a ton now before the shortage kicks in. |

I am heading out to the hardware store to buy a ton now before the shortage kicks in. Sorry, thinking about it now, I was wrong. I guess American nail manufacturers will hire more people now, raise wages and open up new nail factories to replace those being laid off now. Was just a headline panic on my part. This will just take a little time. Sorry. |

Now the USA is an immoral bankrupt warmongering police state. China is not famous for being a free country. Americans used to believe in personal responsibility, but today Americans have no pride and embrace welfare. Some Americans are resisting tyranny by dropping out and going Galt and draining welfare while refusing to work and pay taxes. Welfare in China is not very generous or developed, but many Chinese evade taxes. Accepting welfare is considered to be shameful by some Chinese. The Chinese are more optimistic because China had no freedom before, but became a little more free. The US is pessimistic now because Americans had freedom before, but are now embracing tyranny. The US used to believe in free trade and immigration, but now Americans want to be like North Korea and have closed borders. The USA used to believe in freedom and the free market, but now Americans have become like retarded children who want their beloved government overlords to decree that rents be cheap and the minimum wage be high and tell Americans what to think, what to do, what to wear, what to eat, and where to live. Americans used to fight Commies and Nazis, but have now become Commies and Nazis. Absolutely disgusting. |

She's illegally running. Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit. Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates. Democrats are a WMD, literally. Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall. |
