I had no idea I was a "Trumper." Did not vote for him, or Harris. I hate both parties. My state has a write in space. I used it. So, you've just leaped to a bunch of conclusions about me simply because of one sentence out of a paragraph I wrote. You trigger easy enough. This is the theater which delights me. I am not bright, that's true, but I retain some overall perspective, and know how human beings work, and you're losing your mind, apparently. I have the germ of an idea for a Broadeay play. You may well have made my fortune. Thank you! Previous Message
This is the kind of thing that drives me up the wall with this stuff. You think 1/3 is "only"???? Do you have ANY idea how small margins are? Do you have ANY idea how BIG "a third" is when talking about something in business? I swear to God, every time a Trumper opens their mouth I just want to be on the first starship to mars. You are all absolute morons.
A lot of us are 'obsessed' with 'the man' because we're ASTOUNDED how he's revealed so many of our compatriots to be absolute idiots. You don't know how ANYTHIHNG works. None of you. You don't understand business. You don't understand economics. You don't even understand the government. Previous Message
You do enjoy yelling, "THEATRE!" at a crowded fire. And when you do this nonsense, I have the opportunity to go off and read things, time permitting, which--being self employed--is usually "often enough." Having done some of that, I can tell you that we import only about 1/3 of our steel. Aluminum is another story. None of which has any bearing at all on the difficulties the Navy is having producing ships on schedule. They would fail at that even without the tariffs. So, you are basically connecting dots that don't have any association, purely for your own political fetishes. The fact that you have some freakish obsession with the man has me wondering about your mental well being, but also provides a measure of entertainment value to the more detached portions of my nature. There is a strange fascination to watching someone go over the edge. Indeed...theatre at a crowded fire. Previous Message
THEnaval aquisition chief says US shipbuilding is around 4 years behind schedule, and over priced ,in responce rump says we must buid very fast very soon and to cut costs,
so he applies tarifs of 25% or is it 50% or ???? to steel and aluminium imports,
and this despite a $6 billion investment in shipbuilding since 2014 and another $12 billion promised in next 4 years.whicch nobody knows where it has gone and if it has helped, perhaps a job for musk that could do some good, even if it is a sudden ship X shipard
