Element Electronics, a consumer electronics company in South Carolina, says it will be closing its plant in Winnsboro due to tariffs imposed by President Trump.

The State reported Tuesday that the company was one of the largest remaining employers in Fairfield County after the local Walmart, which used to be the largest grocery store in the county, closed its doors two years ago.

The news also comes after plans were canceled to build two nuclear reactors in the area, terminating 5,000 construction jobs.

That area has had problems for longer than Trump has been wrecking your life. Things have been shutting down for over 2 years and continue to because of their local economy, not your president.

Any idea what was in that kool aid they gave you? Maybe we can find an antidote.

This is why capitalism sucks and is complete exploitation. But state communism or state capitalism (which is a Bernie Sanders "socialist) isn't the answer either.

When a nation like the US uses mainly income tax, with a low sales tax, but when you trade with a European nation, they are opposite, and use a value added tax. Which can be as high as 25%, whereas most US states are at or under ~8%.

Not only does the product get taxed, but in Europe they consider what a shipper pays as "part of" the product too. So you get screwed over that much more.

What's need is for a socialist libertarian mutualist form of government where government steps in as little as possible, not like in most countries, where they're a part of the gang bang.

It's not a privilege, and is a fundamental right for every person to own the results of their labor, and not get rented out as a whore, a slave to the bourgeoisie and the elite plutocratic bureaucrats.

When a country like the US doesn't have a VAT, their only recourse is to add tariffs on imports, as a way to combat an unfair trade system.

Those are really the only words you ever say to anyone but your parrots.

You can never back up your assertion with anything true so you got used to constantly lying and insulting.

Everyone just assumes you are just clowning bud. You’re a joke.
Yeah there is a half a dozen or so run in a pack. All bark, no bite. Just a bunch of sad souls that need a safe place, puppy dog and coloring book.

You are usually the one freaking out about such things.

That’s your real job.

Shouldn’t you be on a job site somewhere helping carpenters or something?

Oh well there it is then. Troof.

Someone deleted spandy's avatar. Man, someone must of been really sad to do such a thing. But Im sure enough time has passed for some healing to occur, so I'm bringing it back.
