3. Just wait until whole companies and factories are shuttered because of his stupid tariffs

Fri Jul 6, 2018, 09:05 AM

Jul 2018

The Lordstown, Ohio, Chevy plant near me just laid off 1200 workers. And in addition, announced plans to expand in Mexico.

Sherrod Brown wrote a scathing letter to GM CEO Mary Barra asking her what the fuck are they doing with their huge tax break money? Certainly not investing in American jobs. Part of her reply was that it is "too expensive" to re-tool the Lordstown plant. I'm afraid that place isn't going to be in operation in a couple years. (they build the Chevy Cruze).
