Do you read anything at all before you run off at the mouth?

First, there's:

This translates into how many American jobs???????????

When the article clearly states that "the ships will have to be built in the U.S." and that 50% of the jobs will be in the Austral yard in Alabama with the other 50% going to Lockheed Martin.

Then, there's:

Exactly my point [referring to the equally stupid question of your fellow non-reader: "So, they couldnt find an American company to do this?"] American ingenuity just got a slap in the face by the self-proclaimed jobs-creator.

For that to be your point, you would have had to stupidly assume that Austral would be building them in Australia.

In fact, as the article quite clearly stated, this has nothing to do with American ingenuity, it was Australian ingenuity.

It's their design and idea, and they're justifiably proud that we have adopted their design. Nobody got slapped by anyone, not even by the Narcissist-in-Chief. Americans get the jobs and a great ally participates in building something we need that they developed.

Then, upon finally realizing that the ships will be built in the U.S., there's the final idiocy:

By union labor.......

Which is, of course, entirely and predictably wrong. Austral, USA is not unionized.

Got any more gems to burp up?

Looks like close to 50% of the people on this thread didn’t read the article.
