Sad, but the way things are, no different in principal to a roofing job near by, seems no roofers left locally, they can not compete with the ones out of Denver who have access to much cheaper labour.

Re: 2016 Election
Trump seems to have arrived at the conclusion it doesn't matter what he says, it keeps his name in the news, and he has said so many things that his supporters just don't take seriously his comments- if they like sound of it fine. His opponents take all his words seriously.
I was thinking about what his foreign policy will be ? On one hand seems he is saying USA should disengage from "nation building" etc, on the other he will decisively eradicate ISIS etc. Waiting to see what actual plan he tries to implement.

Eradicating ISIS by taking back the areas they now occupy is a certainty but that doesn't mean that ISIS will be eradicated in the complete sense. There could well be splinter groups which will plan attacks in the western hemisphere and that's a whole different ball game

What Trump doesn't realize or refuses to realize is that ISIS is being eradicated and by troops of countries in the middle east which is the best way to fight that war.

Can't we just let these unemployed people pull themselves up by their own bootstraps or let their church help them? That's the usual Republican way. Oh wait, I forgot about giving huge company owners more money.
Hey business owners, there's a guy giving out free money and all you have to do is say you are moving your company to Mexico.

Re: 2016 Election
I'm a bit more concerned about things like this, personally. Sorry if it's just an opinion piece, I noticed it as a 'headline' on arsebook and haven't had the time to properly read it yet.

Ignoring the fact that this was contradicted in the other item - this right here is surely not a man who is in touch with reality. Yet he's the one that's going to save the working class, is he?
What would he have thought a reasonable hourly rate was, then? $5? $2? What a twat.

Of course those citizens will then have to rely on Gubmint hand outs to be able to eat and have a roof over their heads. Those lazy bums should get a job..

Would people pay more to stay in your Hotel if you marketed it as being built with US steel?
There may be a market for products made using much more expensive labour, but it is very limited.

It is much more complicated than that, one Roofer I knew made the point of stressing all his labour was legal. But his quotes were still higher.

Re: 2016 Election
People always want things made in USA but few of those complaining about foreign labour are willing to actually pay extra for it.
Except for millennials - hand-crafted, locally sourced things are like crack to them.

I am reasonable sure that their percentage spend on such things is pretty low.

Actually he is in touch with reality, he wanted to win which he did, regardless of the discrepancies in his words that seem constant and unrelenting in contradictions. His opponents and detractors keep taking his words seriously- he doesn't, many if not most of his supporters don't.
