    Yes, that is good news and thankyou for sharing. I am more optimistic after the jobs report, but still worry about the impact on companies that export.

    We are just a small company and only make around 40 test machines a year, we have lost 4 orders already 3 to Mexico and 1 to Canada. The Canada one hurt because that is a $200,000 machine.

    If we are losing business I am guessing others are also. It's not like we have competition, only two companies in the world make the test machines we make for auto industry.

    Us and a company in England.

    well of course they are pissed, all their illegal gains is disappearing .. ... Musk is worried about a hit on him or his team .... never ever trust what a dem/Marxist/Socialist will do .... violence is not beyond their realm as we have seen before .. so if violence dosnt work, try political shenanigans (or is that the other way around? .. :confused: )

    Yep like others I comment on politics. I make predictions based on what I personally interpret and historical knowledge. I honestly don't actually get " emotional " over it all despite how I may word those opinions.

    Yesterday I watched the Elon interview. I came close to tears watching and listening to Elon speak. Now I believe he has a difficult time verbally expressing himself ,no matter the topic. That interview showed, IMO, a profound worry, sense of urgancy, disbelief, and plain old sadness. I believe that whole crew has uncovered things much worse than they are being allowed to speak on yet.
    I pray that all these people remain safe from the evil out there.

    Good news inflation cooled

    The index rose 0.2% over the previous month, a deceleration from the 0.5% increase in January

    2.8%

    Can someone tell me, for I do miss somethings occationally, any actual Democratic plan. I mean a plan that literally governs and helps the economy,improving educational scores and improve our independence in the supply chain. Literal point by point plans that do not add more Government jobs or freebie tax dollar entitlements. Anyone?

    Yah but did you hear how he worded it? I hope Trump " punishes" him big time in those talks.

    When we had the Floyd riots they shipped in what appeared to be hundreds of agitators to join the already crowd of 1000s. Lighting buildings on fire in front of me. Ramming trucks into stores and looting. I saw a state trooper get hit in the head with a hand sized rock. TBI. Money was def moving behind the scenes.

    They were probably paid to protest/riot. A guy who "protested" the Vietnam war went just to meet girls.

    Got asked to go to Calgary to commission a landfill cell. Our field services guy is Canadian he told me that he has heard of people coming back and getting the corner of their green card snipped. If this is true it is not right we hired him and paid for his immigration attorney 20 years ago.
