I think this is necessary because we are going to want to stay abreast of the people who will be affected negatively by Donald Trump's economic and trade policies.

Hopefully he wont do too much damage in 4 years.

Anyhow,
GE is laying off 250 at their Ft. Worth plant.

What does that have to do with Trump?

Did Trump lay them off himself?

You dems just never stop embarrassing yourselves with these childish antics.

ETA:

I just read your link.

The plant, which opened 2012, has been building an average of 10 locomotives a week, said Richard Simpson, vice president of GE Transportation's global supply chain. But the company hasn't booked a new order for a North American locomotive since 2014 and volume is expected to fall as the plant works through the current backlog of orders.

So the company hasn't sold a new locomotive since 2014, and you blame Trump.

Congrats on post your most absurd thread yet. LoL

From your own link.

""Scott Slawson, president of Local 506 of he United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers at Erie's GE Transportation plant, said he wasn't surprised by the slowdown in Fort Worth."It's transportation," he said. "And transportation isn't doing well. It's a barometer of how the overall economy is doing. And now we have people losing their jobs at a plant that wasn't needed in the first place.""


There are Mexican Trains running up MoPac, headed north here in Austin. El Roberto, or something like that


Less trains, more people driving Trucks. Takes 1-2 people to Engineer the train

Any layoff announced this year will be due to losses last year, during the Obama administration.



Rackspace CEO Taylor Rhodes made the announcement Tuesday on the Rackspace Blog, confirming the company is cutting 6 percent of its global workforce, about 198 of those in San Antonio.

Ironically, the Obama Administration and left blamed George Bush for everything and anything during the first 5-6-years of the O-administration. Now, just weeks into Trump's Administration, the left wants to blame Trump for everything.

This is simply another example of the "integrity, honesty and personal responsibility" touted by the left. -- No wait, their values are diversity, liberality and win at any cost.
