Several years ago, a dear freeper friend who was an honored member of our Florida FR chapter (now sadly passed away), owned a bustling factory in a midwestern state. The lure of making MUCH MORE profit by moving his plant into Mexico was attractive and is still attractive to today's American businesses owners and corporate boards/shareholders.

Being a patriot and a freeper, he never gave it a second thought.

At one point, he went down Mejico way for a look-see...and he told me that just south of the border formerly-American manufacturing complexes are lined up like soldiers on parade.....by the hundreds. It is a breathtaking, ever-expanding panorama.

Our friend's name was "Gonzo"...RIP, old friend.

GO, TRUMP...our country's friend.

Thanks for the Gonzo story. I miss him, too. :-(

I hope when we all get to heaven, we have a yuuuge 1998-2000’ish FReeper Reunion party!
