His union should sue the FAKE Biden administration. See how strong those EOs are.

Nah, they should learn to code so they can go one-on-one with H1-B programers, or their countrymen being paid starvation wages back home...

Typical Democrat idiocy. Most have never worked in the real world, so they make heartless, cruel, mean decisions that affect us peons and the unwashed masses. Sickening and disgusting.

Not to worry. Bootygag says Biden “hopes” to create more jobs. And Kerry says you can woek in a factory because you really didn’t want that awful $120k a year job. Yeah, so you spent your early days becoming a certified welder or heavy equipment tech and earn $100 an hour. Now you can learn to code or move the family to whever those new solar panel factories will be located. I hear Ghanzou is noce this time of year. And think. You’ll be making $15 smackers an hour.

Yeah. And it is so easy to pack up the family and find a place in Palo Alto and go coding at Google after you spent years as a welder or machinist. Every welder and macinist DREAMS of a nice entry level office job for $15 an hour to get them out of that dirty shop at $85 an hour. And there will so many they can all chip in on their one bedroom studio.

Anyone noticing the price of gas going up. Seems to be 25 cents a gallon higher in just a couple of days.

I focus on certified welding because I was a certified welder (from a local trade school) and used that to pay for my engineering college. I could have got my petroleum pipline certs but I don’t like heat so finished my aeronautics degree. There is not enough profanity and insults in all languages to describe the absolute disgust I have for chomo biden, Kerry, and all the democrats .

No, they should storm the capitol with their union hats on.

If they find a Rat or two, throw them into the Potomac.

Yeah. I heard that some pipeline welders make $200-300k year - now, if true, that really is terribly greedy of them - they need to get a real job at Micky Dee’s for $12 hr.

Plus, welding is environmentally unfriendly, releasing who-knows-what noxious gases into the atmosphere which will be inhaled by children!

This heinous activity needs to stop at once; our glorious new regime is well on the way to halting these sorts of activities by greedy people - many known to be deplorables in need of re-education.

My nephew's son just graduated from high school this past June. He was not a good student due to ADD and would never make it in college. Fortunately for him, his school started an after school welding trades program in his junior year so he has that two years under his belt now.

He's starting training at the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology in February after being delayed due to the Covid.

He enjoys it and has a good work ethic and he'll have a good solid career ahead of him.........

Isn't it kind of presumptuous to assume he's a Democrat? I know lots of UAW retirees who have been Republicans all their lives............
