Market cycles vary. However, with reduced taxes and relaxations on regulations I predict they will be hiring in the near future.
I’m imagining a liberal throwing this Boeing layoff in my face. I think my response will be “It’s because of the costs of building 56 different kinds of bathrooms for the 56 genders you liberals have identified”.
——the spike up in confidence.-—
Yep.... what will happen is that folks will drag out old files lying dormant on hard drives and bankers will begin to solicit, that is actively call on customers, to sell loans. This action will create optimism and a few and then more and more will be hired.
Boeing has over 25 years worth of continuous aircraft delivery purchases. They should be hiring, not laying off.
Isn't Boeing planning on moving a production line overseas? I didn't see that in the article.
Do you actually think Wichita KS and Seattle WA is gonna admit to becoming a fat and lazy monoplistic producer and that they had already banked on govt contracts at low quality for the next 25 years? Not to mention AF-1.
Competition is healthy. The product will be better. The workers will care more about their jobs and the product they produce.
Yeah. Thats Trumps fault too.
It has been known for decades that any job with Boeing is an iffy proposition. The job comes and goes.
Teaching the Chicoms and Injuns our aircraft building technology was such a great idea, for the board members.
If you’re referring to ‘free trade’ as it exists today, IMHO, No.
I’m not going to address your comment defending the practice by citing domestic employment.
That’s my point. I don’t want the government involved in picking winners and losers within a private enterprise period. There are already thousands upon thousands of tarrifs on private business today and for what? For the government to decide who wins and loses? Drop job killing regulations and lower corporate income tax rates and jobs will come flowing back in. Not lamb blast an American company built on free market enterprise and capitalism
Jarhead I've told you before that the tariffs on the books raise almost nothing in revenue because the rates are to low or nil. Don't make me call you stupid again.
I’ll be the factories in Mexico are humming along.
I believe in free market capitalism INSIDE the USA. Across border, not so much at all. Noting in the Constitutions protecting foreign trade. Actually the founders loved tariffs, but then again they were Patriots and not income tax loving progressives.
That’s the riposte to the ‘free trade’ argument: Regulations.
Fact is that it’s defective trade status bargaining on the part of past administrations that brought us to this point.
Put one way, past presidents have bet nearly all of our chips in a game we were winning...on bad hands. If ‘regulations’ are what it takes to correct those transgressions and send a strong message to those who would be so corruptible (e.g., clintons), then so be it.
It is NOT private enterprise’s choice to become a net importer (which is exactly what Apple is); that’s something that needs to be reversed. Neither is it government’s role to export wealth because bureaucrats do not believe in our Constitution or Sovereignty.
The only counter to that is globalism, which is lunacy (unless you’re satisfied seeing your standard of living reduces). .02
I’m partially with you and agree with a great deal of what you say. Regulations are precisely what is killing business. Heard a report recently the US business cost total for regulations alone is 3 trillion dollars. The trade deficit has been played on the American public for quite sometime. For example did you know that Japanese bank that’s bringing millions opening operations in the US further creates a divide on the trade deficit? When folks go merely off the deficit they are selling themselves short. So any person,entity or company that decides to invest their capital in the US it adds to the deficit. How on earth is this a bad thing!? We’ve been played by both sides and by what you cited is correct as well
I read you.
Perhaps having ‘the negotiator’ in charge will tilt the balance back...
