the two of them in the screencaps explicitly said they did, other two didn't say. one of those said walls are a tool that only work if you have guards and cameras too, so that was either a very diplomatic pushback on the absurdity of the wall, or a proposal to hire tens of thousands of new guards and police 2000 miles of border like a supermax

btw its worth watching the whole 6 minute clip, four prison union presidents who love walls and feel betrayed by trump. bloatee dude is upset about "notions that we're overpaid" and trump isn't supporting law enforcement and the troops like he promised. another one says he knows guards who are worried they won't be able to afford their cancer treatments

To be more specific, corrections chuds were complaining about having to work without pay while the prisoners got special Christmas meals (previously arranged, obviously) like steak or whatever. THIS WAS NOT RIGHT you see.

Even more disgusting was that a bunch of media outlets ran with this bullshit.

quote:

Bob Roth makes no bones about his feelings towards U.S. manufacturing.

The co-owner and chief executive of RoMan Manufacturing Inc, which makes transformers and glass-molding equipment for automakers and other industries, asks callers on his voicemail: "What have you done today to support U.S. manufacturing?"

His procurement team has been under long-standing orders to source all parts and materials as near as possible to his western Michigan factory, even with President Donald Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum.

But with those tariffs dragging into a new year and steel comprising a quarter of RoMan's fixed costs, Roth says his company has now begun the lengthy process of switching from its U.S. suppliers to an Israeli company for a key component for its products.

It is a strategic decision that RoMan and other auto suppliers have put off since the tariffs kicked in last spring. With tariffs firmly part of the landscape, some are now starting to shift their own supply chain to keep costs in check, according to more than a dozen interviews with U.S. auto suppliers and industry consultants. (U.S. jobs impact of metal tariffs: https://tmsnrt.rs/2RKvA83)

The choice is stark for most suppliers: absorb the extra cost, pass them on to customers or find ways to slash material costs.

The transformers Roth's 150 workers at RoMan produce require a magnetized steel core that is now more expensive as tariffs have allowed U.S. steel producers to raise prices. The Israeli supplier has access to cheaper steel and its cores qualify as finished products, so they are not subject to tariffs - making them a cheaper alternative.

"We don't have the money to buy our way out problems like this," Roth said of RoMan, which has annual revenue of around $35 million. "In the long run we can't afford to absorb the extra cost of tariffs."

Roth says he appreciates the sentiment behind Trump's push to bring back American manufacturers jobs, but adds tariffs are "the wrong tool" because they hurt U.S. firms.

Trade consulting firm Trade Partnership Worldwide LLC estimated last summer metals tariffs could cost 5,000 jobs in the U.S. auto industry and 400,000 jobs overall - 16 jobs lost for every steel or aluminum worker hired. But so far there is little data available on how tariffs affect businesses such as RoMan because the process of switching suppliers is a long one and many manufacturers have muddled through so far.

No... this is all wrong... this whole operation has just gone completely sidewaysface
Whatever happened to that lady whos entire business was buying steel parts from China and like repacking them in the US to send to auto companies. Did her business collapse yet.

chuds trying to post the full video to show how ‘well, akchually the Native American approached the MAGA group and harassed him first.’. What’s really shown is him approaching the group, but staying about 15-20 feet back while chanting and banging his drum. Within 30 seconds he gets surrounded by the MAGA losers. Also not sure how him approaching causes anyone to chant ‘build the wall’, etc. but I guess I don’t understand since I’m not a racist lovely duck.

It is, and he claimed he was just walking towards the monument. Considering he was walking diagonally towards the group, rather than directly up the stairs on the right side of the video, I’m going to give conservatives the most generous interpretation possible to show how wrong they still are.

Well, you see, the gentleman from the Omaha Tribe banging his drum and chanting in a rhythmic, non-threatening tone is a direct assault on American morals and the American Way of life thus demanding the need for these young men to express their demand that the United States build a wall to keep the...native peoples...from...illegally immigrating...hmm...
