    Nope. Put them all on ignore. Smothering the stupidity with indifference is the only way to ensure a decent standard of discussion here.

    The more I hear about this bribe, the more I’m like, “sure, why not?”

    Just say you’d rather maintain your echo chamber.

    This attitude is what lost you the White House and you may not get it back for a long time.

    "This new $300 million investment in our manufacturing facilities across the U.S. is the latest example of Anheuser-Busch's commitment to strengthening our local communities by creating and sustaining jobs and driving economic prosperity," Brendan Whitworth, CEO of Anheuser Busch, said in a statement. He added that "investing in our people and in new technologies and capabilities to drive industry and economic growth is core" to the company.

    So will MAGA take credit? Clearly, a $300m investment in manufacturing is a good thing, isn't it?

    Oh wait. There's more:
    U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeReme is also in on the deal. In a statement, Chavez-DeReme said, "Anheuser-Busch has been a shining example of what 'Made in America' means, and their latest investment of $300 million builds on their longtime commitment to grow our workforce and expand U.S. manufacturing."

    Chavez-DeReme added, "They are demonstrating exactly what it means to put American workers first, setting a standard for other companies to follow."

    And when he is flying to wherever and there is a major crisis and they can't get him connected on a secure line then I guess that is just par for the course. Who needs secure comms to launch nukes anyway?

    Per the Mod Coven of 2025, we need to have irrational input from the Trumpers out of balance & fairness to their feefees.

    Weird. It's almost as if the Tariff policy is solving a problem we don't have, providing jobs for people we don't have.

    While I agree somewhat and occasionally respond to germy’s trolling, he has never actually responded to information that is counter to his cult.
    In other words, he isn’t here for conversation, he is here to try to convert you.

    FWIW I was banned without explanation from a thread that I created so I know it can be done.

    Really great economic news today. April inflation came in below expectations yet again and grocery prices down.

    Estimate for the month, not expectations. Treasury market not impressed today.

    There's a lot of manufacturing in the US, but it's mostly of the type of hi-tech, high value-added products (passenger jets, gas turbines, weapons systems, agricultural equipment) that the average American isn't going to buy in Wal-Mart.

    There are lots of open jobs in American manufacturing, but they're no longer low-skill jobs, like in the past.
