A fool and his money are soon parted.

Don’t forget us in East TN!!! Still have coworkers with no power and water. And no flood insurance either. :(

Watch “The Americans”… goes back to his KGB days, I believe? I can see Putin doing this!

I work a few exits away from there. They have bad feedback from previous employees. Here’s the local news interview with an employee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfuRLcpSFak

I applied at a job there once. Didn’t know it was quartz. Next time I’ll try harder. Sounds like good job security.

Good point about the tall grasses.

I remember growing up with them regularly in Florida late 70’s/80’s. Don’t remember seeing them much after that. Then delighted to see them when I was living in Pennsylvania 2010-2020. Im in TN now and saw very few here this summer. Was wondering if it’s the heat?

Whatever he can use and twist to his advantage he will do. The other day he was saying how the economy was great during McKinley because we had all these tariffs and bringing in the money. YES he does get it!! He knows, and lies to the American people. But tariffs are not a stable income for the government. Overseas manufacturers are now building plants in countries without the tariffs (Mexico, Thailand). Then what? No income. AND, The extra China tariff is 25% now. It needs to be 75-100% to get high enough to be competitive with a US made product. That’s more inflation. Either way, it’s us peeons that get the losing end.

No. No you don’t. They were offered a 50% wage hike tonight, yes, FIFTY, and still declined. I import for my job. There’s SO much that comes from all over the world. It will in turn make factories come to a standstill here. Trump will blame it all on the administration, people will believe him and then we are ruined for good.

Yeah. Al sold shoes. Unreal.

Like his buddy Trump!

If she really had witchcraft powers she would have made him POOF by now.

We were heading to Lenoir Nc from JC TN. It’s just effed up all around. Without being an absolute bitch, I am reiterating “FEMA/Socialism GOOD!” Too all who will listen. 😁<bows> Oh BTW I’m not sure Mtn City has internet!!! Carter /Sullivan county, please connect!!!

Ok yeah I’m in JC. The Elizabethton hospital is next , 100% evacuated… can it be salvaged? Not my call. It’s horrible overall. Ballad Health has destroyed our overall health care (see US sanctioned largest monopoly) 29 counties TN//NC/KY/VA help me @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world.com you’re my only hope.

It’s bad. I’m near the TN/VA/NC border and flooding is everywhere in a four hour radius. Interstates are shut down multiple places. Asheville area is a complete mess. I40 near TN/NC caved in. I have a coworker who had two members in her family that have list houses already.

I’ll have to check again. But I’m happy for the freebies! We are a household of three. Every bit helps.

Are you in the US? $25 is what I saw recently.

Here’s my input. I’m an international buyer. We pay the tariff. It gets passed onto the consumer. For China he has to slap another 25-50% on to get the cost to be comparable to US made. If you want to source in the US, you need plants with trained workers and capacity. That doesn’t happen overnight. So for all the products bought made in China, it’s going to get really ugly. Inflation is everywhere, and it’s worse many other places.
