At a recent town hall meeting held by U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner in Hartford, a local manufacturer complained vehemently about the new steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. “I do recognize this is probably a negotiating tactic … the administration is using, but in the meantime real families are being crushed by these tariffs right now,”said Doug Reigle of Regal Ware, a company with 200 employees in West Bend that makes cookware and small kitchen appliances.

“We ship our products all over the world — 65 percent of our revenue comes from outside the United States … and the tariffs are hitting us especially hard,” said Reigle, who said his firm has already spent about $150,000 this year to cover the tariffs.

Huh. So that's how America ends. 1 lousy power move by a meme president. It's pretty funny.

It is what you get when you preffer an uneducated population to an educated one. Uneducated ones are easier to do what is told and eat up your tv propaganda without complaints, true, but then things like what the topic describes happen too. One needs to decide which is more important. Tough call, I know.

>>312517 Well on education the trend clearly goes to have dumb professionals. The other extreme would be to have universal amateurs. I think a mixture of both would be ideal.

>>312517 Ah yes, the old "anyone who voted for Trump is a total retard" brand of snobbery. I bet you consider yourself part of the "educated" camp too, very funny.
