Hillary does in NYS jobs. Corning, NY could have use a little economic boost.
Guess this is what the current administration menas when they focus like a laser beam on jobs for Americans.

It used to be that leaded crystal was a coveted commodity. It looked nicer due to the higher refractive index, and the amount of lead that leached out into beverages in normal use was so minute as to be harmless.
Whoever makes the non-leaded product, whether Steuben or this Swedish company, will produce an item that, but for the custom seal, looks like $1 Libby glasses.

They canned all of the stemware. It had patriotic themes etched in them./s

The firm that got the contract, Systems Design Inc., is a small interior-design firm in tony Georgetown. The company, which is eligible for minority small-business contracts, does not appear to have done any similar work. After getting the contract in September, the firm subcontracted to Swedish glassmaker Orrefors/Kosta Boda USA.
Neat trick

I’m guessing that Hillary’s tony home will be remodelled and redecorated pro bono at some politically convienent time in the future. Also, Hillary burnishes her “cosmo” image with her Georgetown set. Just my guess.

Demonstratiing, once again, that there is no depth to which this gang of thugs will not stoop to aggrandize themselves, diss the US and shower contempt on US industry and labor.

I have Orrefors stemware that I bought in the early 70’s for less than $10 per goblet. Last I price it, it was several times that per stem. It is very beautiful, so at least hillary! has good taste in spite of her poor judgement.

The Minority Firm in Georgetown that appears to never have done anysimilar work before was just founded in August by several Good Donors! This is Dispicable!! American Embassies must showcase American Made Products, and especially so when We have a Premier Crystal Maker right here-STEUBEN CRYSTAL!! uess we know that STEUBEN did not bow to the OBOZO Threats......:-(

Hillary is the enemy and has always been the enemy.
Who would ever vote for this pig is a fool.
