But,but, but Bribem just spoke to steel workers, assuring them he has their back. We’re selling out America. Literally.

“I’d rather have a Japanese owner these days than pretty much any other country.”

For sure! The American CEO/management class in general sucks and have the morals and ethics of garter snakes. Japan on the other hand is the Switzerland of Asia. Night and day,

Funny. My uncle was a PBY guy in pacific during war. I know he hated the japs. We were talking by phone around 2000 about the car he was telling me he bought. He said it was a jap make. I exclaimed you bought an enemy car! He said the was has been over for 50 years. He added their TV cars seem better than I see here.

Years ago, I had a co-worker who was a survivor of Corregidor, Bataan Death March, and 4 years in a Japanese prison camp. Unbelievable, unshakable, unrelenting white hot hatred of everything Japanese. I heard his stories and understand why. His only son married a Japanese woman.

US government made a deal years ago with the Mob, to let them control the Unions to keep the Communists out.

The unions are the communists, and the mob is the only capitalist organization left in the world.

The mob takes money from any/every one, unions only care about the power at the top, and the US gummint consists of spineless whores that will sell out for a nickel.

Union heads are the snake in the basket, but you knew they were a snake before you took the basket home.

Somebody in the company must have come out smelling like a rose. I think it may have been a large mistake, as what is now left of our own steel industry here in the U.S.? Years ago, I had heard from someone who’d know,that some of the foreign steel was not always built to the correct dimensions for our use. Don’t know now if this would still be true.

You are correct. We do need to increase our prayer & church time. God never fails, but we have to show him that we really care for our beloved country & that we believe & trust in Him.
