Steel tariffs could force the nation's largest nail manufacturer to close or move to Mexico.
The Mid-Continent Nail plant in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, laid off 60 of its 500 workers last week because of increased steel costs. The company blames the 25% tariff on imported steel. Orders for nails plunged 50% after the company raised its prices to deal with higher steel costs.

The company is in danger of shutting production by Labor Day unless the Commerce Department grants it an exclusion from paying the tariffs, company spokesman James Glassman told CNN's Poppy Harlow.

Mid-Continent Nail is "on the brink of extinction," he said.

Glassman said the company might relocate to Mexico, where it could buy the steel without the tariffs — and then export the finished nails back to the United States without tariffs, which only apply to raw materials.

The supreme court isnt biased. Democrats have just been breaking the laws for decades and now they are being held to standards.

Kamelot and Epica. Dimmu Borgir.


Both republicans and democrats are shit.
I personally think republicans are worse, but they all should be drained out and everyone replaced with new members that represent current ideals and not ass imprints that have been there for decades.

Remember reality winner ? The former NSA contractor snowflake who was accused of leaking classified information in an attempt to damage President Trump.

She allegedly told her sister that she expected to get off because she was “pretty, white & cute,” & planned on “braiding her hair & crying upon command” in court.

She pled guilty yesterday & will serve 63 months in prison

True progress tends to be made slowly thoughtfully

the right are electing their far right and the left are embracing a far left

neither are good for the day to day operations and lives of most americans. People have gone full tribal and by the other side going tribal it gives each side the boogeyman they've always told tale of.

There is no progress or compromise in that only war among our tribes

We need more open discussion and more involved in voting from the bottom to the top

more participating in community and commitment to civility and compassion

Both sides are becoming more extreme and both are threatening the betterment of this country.

Not being right wing is not enough, being for social issue A B or C is not enough. Leadership through lived example, strength, and commitment to values not tribe will inspire in a positive way.

Negativity and positivity get people excited, one leads to pain and the other to progress
