  • Well Duh. Companies don’t want to spend money in a country they aren’t welcome.

    American manufacturing is dying because of Trump. I’m in the manufacturing industry and 90% of our customers stopped purchasing in November and went into money saving mode. It’s now august, we have had zero large orders come in and customers are only getting the necessary repairs when they are down and losing tens of thousands of dollars a day in lost production.

    Oh also, most of the manufacturer’s in the US use machines with imported parts. ALL OF THOSE PARTS are now 15-50% more expensive for no reason, so they are losing money and have to charge more. Tariffs are ruining the manufacturing industry quickly.






  • I was a hiring manager for years and my store manager did this.

    First 2 weeks as i was getting to know the crew, i noticed they were all in high school, mostly women, and on the better looking side. Then as the months we on, he put me in charge of hiring and i actually hired based on skill and personality since that’s what matters in retail.

    He always had the final “approval” interview and i could tell he never liked the smart ones or ones that weren’t blonde and white. He refused to hire several of them till i reminded him we pay $9 an hour and we have to take ANYONE who is willing to work for such a poor wage.

    I’ll never forget the last hire he did before i quit. He had this like 18 year old girl come in for an interview since she shopped in the store with her parents a couple days before. He hired her ON THE SPOT without consulting me and i wasn’t happy. The VERY next day, her parents send us an email saying she had a complete mental breakdown and is in the psych hospital being treated.
