Xbar Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I heard that it was locked down tighter than hell. Almost nobody out in the plant got to see or meet him. My guess is Union supression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Union supression. Secret service when he went to the bomber plant a few years my father in law made it onto the short list of people Ford was able to bring to the speech. He told me it was the tightest security he had ever experienced. Had to fill out a questionnaire in advance and everything. Why do you think when Obama came to MAP a while back it was conveniently while we were on TLO? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbar Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) What about when he visited Honeywell? He actually talked to the workers on the line. Edited May 22, 2020 by Xbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decker Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) When Obama came to CAP it was the only time there was more guns on the southside then westside.... on top of the powerhouse, paint kitchen and the bridge tower just north of the plant on Torrence. Annd flew in from Gary airport after landing at Ohare. You could reach out and touch SS agents everywhere.... all cabinets had to be unlocked and open so the dogs could do the stroll. To mask or unmask? oh wait that was Obama too. Edited May 22, 2020 by Decker 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump BAAAAAAD ? Socialism good ? YEAH-HOORAY! We did it STAY SAFE! Just for the record the the averge inflation rate for the past 4 years is 1.81% and the 10 year average inflation rate is 1.9%. The federal reserve targets a 4% or less unemployment and 2% infltion as the ideal for our economy. Before the Covid Crash our economy was hitting both. You should also remember, unlike the money congress doles out, the Federal Reserve is mandated by law to only issue loans and they normally make money on all their lending. Their purpose is to provide liquidity to minimize recessions and prevent derpessions. So far on the monatary side it appear the fed is doing exaxtly what they are mandated to do and are doing it well. Congress on the other hand is up for debate. If we can just open up our economy again & encourage people to spend, medium and large business will thrive again very soon. Everything is in place for the economy to boom it's just waiting for the consumers to come off lockdown. Small business in our country may never recover and many or our states governours appear to be fine with that. Regardless of who gets elected in November things will be booming next year and the stock market reflects that today. I predict all time highs again, in the markets, by fall.

Decker Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) sounds like someone needs to cuddle with uncle joe in the basement...... you might have to remind him it`s not 1920, I was ashamed of myself once, for a very short time, but realized the group that always said they were for me and the working people....was full of shit. Whaaa Happened to the post about being ashamed...… with that reference to the current group leader???

Fatso Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) The USA is running a huge deficit.Any "free money" check a fortunate person receives today will result in a bill being handed to future generations.There is no other way to stimulate the economy?Maybe encourage work?Maybe balance the budget?Maybe end this Covid hysteria?You are sure its fiscally okay to just keep adding zero`s to the deficit indefinitely?Taxes never go up?Inflation never happens?There is no moral hazard with all these "free" handouts?Everything should be "free" {for the Planet} unless of course you have, earned money ,then you should have to pay for everything! One option my generation never had growing up was the option to stay at home receive a basic universal income and attend school for as long as we desire.Look at what happens,historically, to all the "useful idiots" after the dictators finally get absolute power.

Gotta love doing the same thing over and over yet expecting different results. Liberal Democrats dont bother me so much its the "Leftists".The wing of the Democratic Party that want Socialism.Listening to them there is not ONE thing right with the USA.Leftist Mantra:You are entitled,Blame everybody else for your problems,What happened over 150 years ago is a major issue today,Get emotional,Tear down statues {we cant just relocate them to museums?},loot,riot,fry the police like bacon.As for the union,I along with others was not paid during the down week.No check= No fun.Of course,the union,first words are,"well there was some confusion in management".I swear,at every plant I have been at, the UAW covers for management just as much as they represent their members.I have never seen management held accountable when they screw up an employees payroll.That being the case I think some bosses mess with an employees time as a way to harass workers they dont like.Forget the UAW political advice,Biden is a stooge.He would not be running anything.A vote for Biden is a vote for a larger,more powerful,totalitarian government called socialism.Once again,the USA is not Denmark.What works in Scandanavia may not work in the USA.In the USA a hard working person can move up the economic ladder.Under socialism you will get taxed endlessly if you dare make over,,,say,,,$75,000 or $100,000 a year.On the other side,those who aspire to do as little as possible hit what they consider The Jackpot, a "free money" check from the Government.That Government check aint "free",somebody else is working and paying taxes to pay for your "free money".

Decker Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Was the House of Rrepresentitives group leader one of Denny`s guests while we were paying for all those golf outings? I heard along with the imported cigars they had imported chocolate ice cream.... sounds like something that group leader could get into.

Xbar Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) So tell me how again that the union did not somehow persuade the management team at Rawsonville that it was a high security risk. I have very good reliable sources at Rawsonville that said that they made walls with battery racks and intentionally kept all employees away. No plant tour also. Did you see the Whirlpool visit in Clyde Ohio today? Employess were greeted by the prez and had a little rally in the plant. There was also a plant tour. And that's a big assed plant.
