Something doesn't smell right about this. Although I was once hired at a factory as a temp with the clear understanding that just about everybody was going to get laid off DEC 31 due to an EPA regulation, and we worked like hell. They gave you a choice, 12 hr per day 6 days a week or 8 hours a day with one weekend off per month. Layoffs were not uncommon so everybody knew how to prepare, and that was a lot of OT. Poor quality was not really an option since everything was checked and if it got rejected it just made double work for you (and everybody else.) It was a really creamy job. The reason I got hired was because the motors they were making were going to be illegal DEC 31 and everybody wanted one and nobody wanted the new EPA motors. So they installed these really inefficient machines that I ran. Two basically big robots that took about twenty minutes to load and unload, but had cycles of 140 minutes where you did absolutely nothing. But I agree, if my furnace went out I would just say, "I don't care, anything but a Carrier." (partly due to fear, and partly due to Trumpmania (I hope they are not one and the same.))
And 1400 more poor souls who think that Donald Trump can actually help them. Truly unbelievable that a blowhard casino developer from New York City can have an appeal to the underemployed. There is a sucker born every minute. Trump knows that, he's spent his life living off them.
Maybe so, but if nothing else atleast he has signaled he will stop the bleeding, while the rest of our politicians both democrat and republican seem all too willing to sign on to trade deals that continue to bleed america dry. Im not a fan of Trump for the same reasons you arent but he is the only one on either side bringing up the fact that we are getting hosed in these trade deals that are supposedly good for america.
I think what you fail to realize, as a businessman Trump was the Man. But as President he will be fighting for us the same way he fought for his own interest. Or at least that's the way the reasoning goes. Prepare for cynical opinions on the man and mankind in general. Some believe man is always greedy and selfish. Usually those are the people who have never had enough.
Have we really become so uncompetitive that our jobs are being outsourced to the U,K,? Who the fuck buys Avon products anymore anyways? The company will be at zero within this decade. 2500 more Trump supporters. Avon to cut 2,500 jobs, move headquarters to U.K. Avon Products Inc. said Monday that it would eliminate around 2,500 jobs and move its corporate headquarters to the United Kingdom, the latest step in a yearslong turnaround of the struggling beauty company. The company, founded some 130 years ago, said it would gradually move its corporate headquarters from New York City to the U.K., though it will maintain its New York incorporation. A company spokesperson said the move of its headquarters to the U.K. wasn’t for tax purposes, but rather to move the corporate functions closer to the bulk of company operations. The actions come about two weeks after Avon AVP, +4.29% completed the sale of its North American operation to private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP, in a complex deal that provided Avon with a cash injection and moved its slow-growing U.S. operation to Cerberus’ hands. “With the recent completion of the sale,” Avon Chief Executive Sheri McCoy said in a statement, “our commercial operations are now fully outside of the United States, allowing us to dramatically rethink our operating model.” In her fourth year at the helm, McCoy is hoping that this turnaround will get the company back on track. It has endured more than four years of quarterly revenue declines and its share price is down some 40% in the past 12 months.
