Are you ready? I think this is gonna be a rough couple years.

I took a run into the town on the Georgia side of the line. The population of the whole county is about 9,000.
The Dollar General was closed down, this is the sign on the door.
Bring manufacturing back to America? Who’s going to do the work?

Cleaner than most I see Opened...!!!

America First...!!!

I run a small heating and air company, I’m constantly getting call from other state supply companies. They all get pissy but I tell them if I can buy it in my home town I do , if not in my county or state. I keep it local if at all possible, I will pay more for products made in the USA, I look at it this way if you can afford a 2+ million dollar lake house to live in three to six months out of the year then you can buy quality parts and equipment.
I’m pretty much that way with all things I buy. USA first.

Before I retired I was in charge of over 10,000 pieces of equipment. I made a policy of buying only American made parts, unless I approved it first.

i hired one guy who went to lunch on his first day and never came back. LOL

I fired one out the door because he was pretending he couldn't understand English and using it as an excuse to freeload.

I had that happen a few times when we had the school. Would hire an assistant teacher, and they'd disappear after the first day. One disappeared on her first day during her break. It would always make us laugh after the initial shock.

That's as much education as they can afford for the wages they're paying.

Today has been another lesson in unpredictability.

It has been suggested that the US send troops to Gaza to sort out that mess.

Even Netanyahu was struggling to know what to say about the idea.

I challenge people to even make this stuff up.

Of all the places in the world, Gaza takes a special kind of crazy for someone to voluntarily take that on.
