Listening to the stories of the steelworkers
who were at the signing with Trump was
heart wrenching. These are mostly union
Dems and they are thrilled beyond measure
at what Trump is doing. 500 jobs here, 300
jobs somewhere else, 400 jobs in another
place. It's a snowball rolling downhill and
picking up speed. One company in KY said
it's investing $100mil in opening a new plant
that will mean hundreds of jobs. MAGA


What will be interesting to see is how many more blue collar workers follow him and do any unions bolt the Democrat Party and realize said Democrat Party has sold them out for years based on "where they gonna go?" Government unions will back the Dems to the end, but if the industrial workers bold, the Blue Wall crumbles a little more.

A couple of them at the WH meeting said
they've been begging Dem leaders for
tafiff's for 30 years and never got squat
from them. It took a businessman to see
the right thing to do.

Men often complained about getting hit with ridiculous bills for child support -- but it pretty much is happening to any of the breadwinners in the relationship.

Britney Spears angry over child support.

Quote:
Since he has custody of their sons Sean Preston, 12, and Jayden James, 11, the rapper, 39, is requesting an increase to his monthly $20,000 in child support “to recognize the sacrifices he’s made,” reveals a source. “He could have threatened to cut off access to the kids, but has not.”

Spears, who raked in more than $137 million during her Las Vegas residency, doesn’t buy his reasoning. “She’s angry Kevin is asking for more money because she pays for everything,” says the insider, noting the divorced duo have a “strained” relationship. “Those boys are her world. She is an amazing mother.”

On the flip side
He's not looking for money to support just their 2 kids
He wants money to support his 6 kids
Yup, 6 kids

When will the courts focus on necessities not necessaries.
That is, focus on peanut butter and jelly versus foie gras and caviar.

There is no reason a court should award a certain 'lifestyle' or 'percentage of total income'.

I once had a little old Italian guy working for me. The kind whose advice is almost always good. He told me, "I don't care about all this modern stuff, if the woman does not have primary custody of the kids, something is terribly wrong."

Over the years I have seen it to be true.

Spears case is a little more atypical, as her drug problem era appears to be intentional manipulation by her former manager for control of her career rather than intentional usage getting her dependent on drugs. But yeah, it still turned her into a mess and an unfit parent which is why she lost custody. And she was on prescribed psyche drugs

The Greatest Manufacturing Jobs Boom in Twenty Years

Over the last 12 months, manufacturers have added 224,000 jobs. That’s the biggest annual gain since 1998, according to Wall Street economist Joe LaVorgna. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Donald Trump’s promises to bring back manufacturing jobs was widely derided as impossible, and his supporters were mocked as 'suckers'. “Manufacturing jobs are never coming back,” Ben Casselman of FiveThirtyEight declared in the summer of 2016.

much..

Same as they were wrong about oil drilling in 2008. We said "Drill, baby, drill" and Obama said go check the air pressure in your tires. Now look.
