When I started I made $40k. My home is paid off. No kids, no student loans.Right now manufacturing is still up. But they see signs of a slowing down. That's because of Trump's leadership. They don't know what he will do or tweet next.
Moron, manufacturing is up BECAUSE of Trump. No one EVER knows for certain 100% what the future holds so that is just an excuse. I've yet to ever see a tweet capable of slowing the economy.
I've calculated that it takes at least $13.00/hour just to equal the equivalent of what the minimum wage was in the late '70s before productivity and wages split. Anyone today making less than $13.00 an hour is making less than minimum wage compared to the 1970s! Workers are getting screwed, and Trump has nothing to do with it. Grow up.
I just talked to a trucker picking up a machine we just sold. He said, "why did they let Joe go he was around for a long time" and we told him that we actually just let 8 people go because machine sales have slowed. He confirmed that is absolutely true. It happened right before the Bush recession. I remember manufacturing was shit when Bush was president and Republicans said the economy was doing great.
So I asked the trucker "I thought the economy was great" and he said, "certain sectors are" For example his buddy is in construction and they have more work than they know what to do with.
Manufacturing is the most important sector or industry in our economy. You get that right? Do I have to explain that?
Caterpillar's machine sales in Asia-Pacific down 4% for three months
North American Machine Vision Orders Slow in First Quarter of 2019
AIA statistics show 4.5 percent decline in sales over same period in 2018, down to $674 million
Machine tool industry orders expected to drop in 2019
Orders received by the German machine tool industry in the first quarter of 2019 were 21% compared to the same period last year due to a cooling global economy and other challenges.
So wake the fuck up you god damn moron. Unbelievable the clueless sheep who support Trump calling me a moron when they are nothing but talking heads repeating what Fox and Rush tell them. Piss off dummy. You're why America sucks.
So wake the fuck up you god damn moron. Sales are down in Asia and elsewhere because demand is down. Shit happens. Their economy goes up and down too. If you don't like it, get a god-damn education and go out and get a real job. Piss off dummy. You're why America sucks.
Reasons for the downturn include:
There is only one reason: Correction of trade deals between nations. Other countries have sweetheart deals so are not going to change without pressure. When a road crew makes improvements to an intersection or highway, for a few years, there is a traffic bottleneck during construction. Better face up to that right now, BoBo. Just as Bush didn't kill 2,000 people in the 9/11 attack, the problem isn't Trump, it is all the years other presidents have passed the buck and let the matter snowball exactly to avoid the kind of criticism and unpopularity you are whining about. Maybe you need to start learning to live on only $75K for a while.
I’ll be alright.
