Tell that to anyone in agriculture, fishing, forestry, or manufacturing in Georgia. $20 billion loss expected this year alone from tariffs in the state.

unemployment in your state went from 4.8 to 4.2 in the last year. I'd tell them but they are too busy working.

I expect there will be zero losses.

have you looked into this:

I will give you one concession - Georgia's film and television industry is booming. Has been for a decade. However, when the state threatens to go against civil rights in the name of religious freedom, they fight back and say they will leave. They hold a lot of power and can destroy the local economy of towns like my last residence, Newnan, if they pull the studios out. Newnan/PTC is where the Walking Dead and many movies are made. They won't tolerate cast and crews being discriminated against. Delta also pushes back with force. Delta rules Atlanta. Then you have the new Mercedes headquarters in Atlanta. Not happy at all with the tariff threats. People are playing with fire and major corporations here are watching every move.

All of America is booming.

I guess they wouldn't be very good threats or give him much leverage if people didn't believe Donald Trump would follow through with his threats right?

Trump did call to end all tariffs and they wouldn't hear of it.

Dude, you are seriously jacking off to his picture right now, arent you? LOL
Yeah he did want to end all tariffs. Even dumber than trade wars. Tariffs have a protective purpose for home nation workers. Vindictive tariffs hurt the workers. This is trade 101.

Dude, you are seriously jacking off to his picture right now, arent you? LOL

Well that's a bizarre sexual fantasy about me, do you often have these sorts of fantasies?

Yeah he did want to end all tariffs. Even dumber than trade wars. Tariffs have a protective purpose for home nation workers. Vindictive tariffs hurt the workers. This is trade 101.

LOL, that's funny, and I suppose you will declare that Trump's tariffs are "vindictive" instead of all those good "protective" tariffs others have. Right?

Hey, you are the one who spends all day everyday gushing over him. I wont judge your fetish.
BTW - these are produced in East Alabama and West Point Georgia. All manufacturing in LaGrange, West Point, and surrounding areas are 2nd tier - meaning they produce products to supply Kia.

Hey, you are the one who spends all day everyday gushing over him. I wont judge your fetish.

Nope, wrong again, I can only assume it is more projection. Perhaps you are so angry and irrational because you find Donald Trump attractive?

BTW - these are produced in East Alabama and West Point Georgia. All manufacturing in LaGrange, West Point, and surrounding areas are 2nd tier - meaning they produce products to supply Kia.

LOL and you imagine that will stop?

from your article:

It also said Seoul has agreed in principle to revise a bilateral trade deal with Washington, addressing a U.S. auto trade deficit with South Korea.

Looks like Trump's threats are working perfectly and there will be a renegotiation, probably they will make even more cars in America after. Then you will have to try to find something else to point to and say the sky is falling, despite the numbers to the contrary.

I live in Georgia. At present in the agricultural belt south of the fall line in the coastal plain . I speak to farmers daily. Employment has picked up in fast food and home healthcare/low pay medical. Retail is closing, and manufacturing is dropping shifts. Low paying jobs without benefits are indeed increasing - do you know anything about manufacturing in Ga? Not union. Low pay. No benefits. My father was VP of Interface flooring aka Flor. Shippers out of Savannah, a major economic factor for the state, are nervous because exports are sitting in freezers and in Port Wentworth. There are already loses. Crops will be coming in in 8 weeks so loses will mount because they will have to be stored or destroyed. Then you have manufacturing areas like my hometown going with short shifts to keep all employed with less pay. But okay, winning.

seems like there are 589 openings in manufacturing in Savannah Ga at present
https://www.indeed.com/q-Manufacturing-l-Savannah,-GA-jobs.html

and overall the state's unemployment is down a half percent in the last year, that's the non anecdotal version.

Savannah's manufacturing is mostly gulfstream, paper, and sugar production. Gulfstream pays well, the port pays well, dixie and paper production do not. In fact dixie's working conditions are so bad that there are still lawsuits over employees being burned to death inside. But let us go with your reasoning - if you get an $8 job then that is good even though you can not live on $8 an hour anywhere in Georgia. Even better are thousands of $8 an hour jobs. Oh, and if there are thousands of $8 an hour jobs in Georgia then people should be able to just walk up to any minority or female and verbally abuse and threaten them because golly, there are thousands of $8 an hour jobs in Georgia now. That is white trash thinking. OH and yes, i get to call you white trash now and tell you to stay out of places my class go because there are $8 jobs in Georgia now and that means I can behave like an animal. It is all about the money. I don't think or behave that way.
And now please quote the employment trend from 2010 to 2016 in Georgia.

uh huh, of the 572 manufacturing jobs on that one website near that one city, 372 pay $25,000 a year or more. That's more than $8 an hour.

Where did I reason anything about $8 an hour jobs? That seems like a new topic. And then it gets more bizarre:

if there are thousands of $8 an hour jobs in Georgia then people should be able to just walk up to any minority or female and verbally abuse and threaten them because golly, there are thousands of $8 an hour jobs in Georgia now.

How did you come up with that? It makes no sense.

"That is white trash thinking."

But that was not anyone's thinking but yours, are you white trash? Isn't talking about "white trash" both racist and elitist?

OH and yes, i get to call you white trash now and tell you to stay out of places my class go because there are $8 jobs in Georgia now and that means I can behave like an animal.

Seems like you really want to justify your own racism and also to project it on me for some reason, that's sort of pathetic isn't it?

It is all about the money. I don't think or behave that way.

Clearly you do think about saying and doing a lot of racist things, tell me more about how the "white trash" is causing all of your problems.

And now please quote the employment trend from 2010 to 2016 in Georgia.

What's the significance of 2010?

Those are not manufacturing line jobs. Those are second tier. They service manufacturers - which largely depend on aluminun and steel. Canadian tariffs began yesterday. EU tariffs have not begun. The only ones have been from China until yesterday and they have had an impact already. India is drafting theirs now. Your argument about manufacturing in Georgia from 2012 to 2017 does not apply since the trump trade war is just beginning

Oh, right, your argument is based on future projected losses from biased parties. The sky is totally going to fall, just like those rocketman comments were going to lead to ww3 right?

Looks like the president has already brought the Koreans to the negotiating table according to your article. The rest will follow, this is how negotiations work. Seems to me that the best way for the Koreans to fix the auto trade deficit with the US would be to build even more of their cars here, wouldn't it?
Does anyone really desire a protracted trade war with the US?

And your argument is based on projected losses from negative nellies who don't understand 3d chess. Obviously those projections are meaningless, what matters is what actually happens. LOL you expect a protracted trade war, how long will the Trump trade war last?

The last recession began in 2007. Fallout ended around 2010 and rebuilding began in earnest in 2010.

yup, weakest recovery in history

I am lily white, dude. Your argument is that i am a white racist who is racist against whites? What you meant to say is i would be classist by calling someone of inferior economic and social standing white trash. You seem to have trouble with your superiors. When did this begin? Is this why you love Trump so much - because you can relate to his inferiority complex?

I am lily white, dude. Your argument is that i am a white racist who is racist against whites?

No, because I am not racist my argument was that you are racist because of your use of racial epithets. Why would your race matter? Isn't anyone who uses racial epithets a racist? Oh I forgot, a tenant of modern progressive belief is that only white people can be racist, in that case thank God you are not black or maybe you could argue that you can't be racist.

What you meant to say is i would be classist by calling someone of inferior economic and social standing white trash.

Nope, I said exactly the right thing and what I meant to say, it was elitist and racist, the two are not mutually exclusive. If you were not a racist and just an elitist then you would just call them "trash" and not care about their race, but their race is important enough to you for you to bring it up. Right?

You seem to have trouble with your superiors. When did this begin?

That's an odd projection, I am sure I never said any such thing, how long have you felt that way?

Is this why you love Trump so much - because you can relate to his inferiority complex?

yet another projection, I never said I love Trump or relate to him. Aw, you really have nothing here huh?

Looks like a raging case of TDS, how did you feel when Trump won?

You are the one who responded to an article about civility with "progressives want to take away speech and guns" and then "but the economy is ok right now so who cares." I like how you carefully selected which parts to leave out of my quotes. You left out parts indicating that just because there are plenty of jobs (low paying ones - $8 an hour- in Georgia have the majority of openings. Winning) does not give anyone, myself included, the right to be uncivil.

that's funny, I can't seem to find anything about "civility" in your post about "exhaustion". So how do you justify your incivility?

Nope in fact the numbers showed that most of the jobs like 3/4 paid well above minimum wage.

Read the ads closely.

What do they produce? If you look you will see they will be impacted by tariffs which began yesterday.
Now tell me how you celebrated Georgias economy under Obama. You do know this "wave of prosperity" did not begin suddenly in 2017, dont you? You do know it could end this year, right?

And yet, despite predictions from some, they are still hiring. If you are right, why is that?

Frankly I have never given a shit about Georgia's economy, why would I?
It could end this year but you do know that it could continue right?

Sounds like you are rooting against that though, do you really want your state and America to do better than ever before under Donald Trump?

Did you read the dates on any except one or two? Did you scroll down?

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

No need, the decline in unemployment state wide speaks for itself as do the hundreds of openings in manufacturing.

You included articles from the Obama years. But that doesnt fit your narrative that Georgia was a third world country under Obama but became super rich in the last 18 months. It will be fun to go on your page and post every bad article about our economy now that tariffs have begun.n

your narrative that Georgia was a third world country under Obama

LOL you seem to have confused my narrative with the strawman claim you just made up, I never said any such thing did I?

It will be fun to go on your page and post every bad article about our economy now that tariffs have begun.n

now if only I had a page, this is a great statement from you though, because I asked you a moment ago on the other thread if you actually wanted to see America succeed under Donald Trump. You seem to be feeling great feelings of schadenfreude in imagining posting bad economic news about your own country, that answers my question.

It's almost like you need for America to fail or you will have cognitive dissonance. America's success ruins your narrative huh?

Did you read the dates of articles besides one or two? Did you scroll down?
