Canada and Mexico fold on trade

[acptulsa]

I hate to break it to you, but I don't care if companies that offshored jobs are hurt.

I hate to break anything to you, because you're blind, deaf and dumb, and I have to repeat myself over and over.

Companies that have been here so long that they had to react to the 1965 treaty will suffer in comparison to companies who never employed one single American.

Companies that have factories here are employing Americans, companies that don't are not, companies that move factories here will.
That's all the matters.
And traitors who lobbied for free trade and subsidies so they could offshore (and who support the left and globalism coincidentally) deserve pain.

Oh? It doesn't matter to you who hires designers and engineers here, and who doesn't? You only care about factory workers?

You're blind, deaf and dumb. I said, companies with factories in Canada will be punished. The companies with factories in Canada are the ones who also employ the most American, you mental midget.

LOL where did I limit what kind of employees they hired here?

And you already admitted that the (formerly) Detroit companies had moved the white collar jobs out of the country as well.

That's just false.

Quote me, bitch. ...had moved the white collar jobs..."

I don't recall saying the car companies moved any, and I certainly didn't say they moved them all.

Are you going to address the fact that the company that employs many Americans and has idle Canadian factories to maintain will suffer more than the company that employs zero people in North America?

Or are you like liberal white women, trying to deny responsibility for their actions?

It seems I misread you at the time, but when I responded with my misunderstanding you didn't correct me so I never found out.

BUT you are quite wrong, they moved the white collar jobs there as can be shown:

Ford Motor Co. is cutting about 3,000 white-collar jobs as it attempts to lower costs and make the transition from internal combustion to electric vehicles.


Leaders of the Dearborn, Michigan, automaker made the announcement Monday in a companywide email, saying that 2,000 full-time salaried workers would be let go along with another 1,000 contract workers.


The cuts represent about 6% of the 31,000 full-time salaried work force in the U.S. and Canada.

Ford cutting 3,000 white-collar jobs in bid to lower costs

DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor Co. is cutting about 3,000 white-collar jobs as it attempts to lower costs and make the transition from internal combustion to electric vehicles. Leaders of the Dearborn, Michigan, automaker made the announcement Monday in a companywide email, saying that 2,000...

So did foreign companies:

Volvo cutting 10% of white-collar jobs in Canada, U.S.

The automaker is spending $88 million globally on severance packages and early retirement for employees. Understand your rights in Canada.

And there are far more blue collar jobs involved than white collar jobs, I don't see why we should allow the white collars to count for more than the blue collars, that seems quite elitist and globalist to me.

And the white collar jobs will follow the blue collar jobs anyway, they always do.

Those jobs weren't moved anywhere. The positions were eliminated so the corporation can cough up for the new taxes being levied on it and its customers.

That's something else you misread.

They must have been moved there or they couldn't have been there to be eliminated as part of the layoffs, and those are not all of the white collar jobs in Canada, most are still there.

Those are also both stories from years ago that have nothing to do with Trump's tariffs.

I'm talking about American jobs, you illiterate bot.

Then you didn't notice the part about the jobs in Canada, even though I bolded them and used Italics.

Try reading instead of just skimming.

 

[acptulsa]

Then you didn't notice the part about the jobs in Canada...

Or I was just talking about jobs in the U.S.

Do you think it serves the U.S. to favor companies that employ no Americans over companies that employ both Americans and Canadians? Yes or no? Because that's the kind of thing Wall St. is reacting to, and not without reason.

Any companies who bring jobs here to avoid tariffs by definition employ Americans, and will be employing more than those with factories elsewhere.

And I made a point about white collar jobs in Canada so you don't get to just ignore it and change the subject.

 

[acptulsa]

You're the one trying to change the subject. You obviously don't care about U.S. white collar workers.

 

[Swordsmyth]

LOL

I am the one who cares about the few left, I'm the one who wants to make companies bring all the jobs, white or blue, back using tariffs.
You are the one who doesn't care about any of them as long as you can save a penny by buying from offshore factories as all the jobs, white or blue, drain out of America.

 

[acptulsa]

...I'm the one who wants to make companies bring all the jobs, white or blue, back using tariffs.

So you say, but you're punishing specifically the only companies who can bring back any jobs -- the ones who have been here long enough to have had those employees and have laid them off. Nobody else is as invested in Canada.

Why can't you acknowledge this simple, obvious fact, bot? What's the major malfunction?

Any company that sets up shop in America can hire Americans who had those jobs before or who didn't have them before, and they are already doing so.

And any company that gets punished will be punished for refusing to do so, if they bring those jobs back then they won't be punished.

Quit contorting things to pretend that you are protecting "American" companies who actually sold out America and Americans and who won't need protection if they bring the jobs back.

 

[acptulsa]

And any company that gets punished will be punished for refusing to do so...

...but not every company that refuses to do so will be punished. Only those heavily invested in Canada can be punished this way, and they just happen (not coincidentally; for reasons obvious to anyone but a dolt) to be the carmakers most heavily invested in the U.S.

No, companies all over the world will be subject to the same tariffs on cars they don't make here.

 

[acptulsa]

But they won't all be paying maintenance on shuttered Canadian factories, broken record bot.

Go argue with yourself, blind, deaf and dumb one. Give your right hand a chance.
