Then we were independent for 10 years, then a very large European rubber company bought us, and now a very large European company who makes heavy industrial trucking vehicles has snapped us up.

I love the show, and almost every time I listen outside the box thinking seems to show up, which I like a lot !

Kenaz- just wanted you to know, America’s industrial base is actually still a ‘thing’. I was born in 1972, and grew up in the environs of Ohio’s largest inland Lake… I currently live an hour away, and commute every day back to my hometown and work at the same factory at my father worked at.

The factory is union, but my father and I work in areas that are not unionized, a.k.a. technical (I work in a laboratory), and he was in management.

There are three sectors that we produce products for- rubber products for the industrial sector, rubber products for the agricultural sector, and rubberized heavy duty products that our military buys… if you see a military vehicle that runs on tracks, and not tires, that’s the kind of thing we do at my company. The factory was built in 1939, kind of in anticipation of World War II.

Since I started there in 1999, we’ve had four different ownership situations. When I started, we were part of a ‘very Good (hint) American rubber company’

Enjoying the podcasts. The TDS thing is really ramping up though. I understand it's fun but Trump Trump Trump is indistinguishable from MSM.

The stakes are high.

If supply shocks hit like I expect them to, 🇺🇸 is cooked. Hence the emphasis on the orange retard.

Otherwise I would have simply focused on other DOOM ful topics 😉

I think the tariffs were handled in a messy way and are going to lead to a lot of short-term to medium-term pain. But I'm not at all sure that there is any non-messy or non-painful way to deal with our debt and trade deficits. Trump clearly wants to rebuild America's manufacturing sector, and we were going to see a big default sooner or later. It might ultimately turn out that ripping the band-aid off quickly was the best we could do.

Of course, I'm also sure that in saying this I'm going to hear both "Haha, you're a delusion 12D-chess believing Trumptard" and "You're going to look like an idiot when Trump Makes America Great Again."

Gentlemen. Thanks for the response.

I visit my Canadian family and endure the 5-10 min Trump lectures. I ask them if they have any thoughts on the upcoming Canadian election. They tell me it's all about Trump.

It's feeling a whole lot like 5 years ago. The Magic Bug whose symptoms were no symptoms.
