Bread & Butter or Jelly & Toast

Just wait when the reality of off the development money pouring into electric vehicles back fires.  With very few exceptions, company cutting top line revenue do not increase profit margins.  In fact the usual ends up happening.  Ford has pushed up the price of trucks so high, it's a struggle for most to even buy a new vehicle.  Look at the sudden and substantial increase in Lightening pricing.  once you get past early adopters, that market will fall drop like a rock.  A good portion of SD market is to construction workers.  As the housing market is collapsing, so will construction jobs.

Union Worker Lash Out After Biden Betrays Union Works...... imagine that....

 

Democrat's & Union`s go together like fools and their money..... 

 

On Joe Biden's 1st day of office he canceled the 9 billion dollar Keystone XL pipeline which was was expected to carry 830,000 barrels of oil per day to refineries. This move cost 1000's of jobs for the members of the Laborers’ International Union of North America and the United Association of Plumbers & Pipefitters. Both unions were big supporters on Joe Biden and he showed his appreciation on day one. 

Reports vary from 11,000 new jobs to as few as 3900 jobs, but non the less it's billions of dollars of development that will not get done. The effect on gas prices is unknown, but not getting oil cheaply to where it is needed clearly adds to higher gas prices we face today..

House and Senate sign Biden's rail bill that forces rail unions to accept the contract. If trump had forced unions to accept a contract they did not like, the media would have gone nuts.

All in all it seems like a good deal for workers.

 

Workers get:

1. $11,000 signing bonus.

2. 24% pay raise over five years.

3. One extra paid day off per year.

4. One day a year paid sick leave (they asked for 5).

Trump would have done all he could to get rid of the union.

 

Economy was what? Union members working OT? Disposable spending at its highest in years? Did everything to get rid of what? As far as sitting down for dinner or drinks naa I don`t think he`d be first on my list but one thing for sure the "would have done" list sure would be better than our current state of affairs.
