Did he even hear the question? I think Jill kicked him under the table to shut up, then she took over as usual.

(I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge, and District Attorney, where she was the first woman ever to be elected to those positions. During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime. Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor's Office was the first in the Nation. She excelled in all ways. In addition to her Legal career, Jeanine previously hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television. Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!) - DT

Holy Shit another example how logical decisions and not compassionate ones are made by only one side. Need to cancel the other side going forward. Trump recently brought back in view that you need to speak and read English to have a CDL and what we have here is more liberal bs. The law had been there and libs don’t follow it.

I can’t even get on a fucking plane right now due to the lax bullshit libs have created until I get a new enhanced license. Was told by DOD I need it to get back on base if I visit. Well WTF! I have a FBI check every few years, a mandated physical every year but can’t take a domestic flight because of shit like what we have here. Literally got a new license endorsement in person last year with no enhancement. Fuck You NY and Fuck You Waders of the US. This is your fault. Now I have to drive 1300 miles to see grandkid and son before next months deployment in a god damn motel off the base while Ivan’s drive around killing people with a CDL they not supposed to have.

[HEADING=2][SIZE=4]A business owner tested if customers would pay more for American-made. The results were 'sobering.'[/SIZE][/HEADING]
[LIST]
[*]Afina founder [Ramon van Meer]('https://www.businessinsider.com/bought-dog-ramp-business-alpha-paw-google-facebook-ads-2021-11?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com') wanted to see if people would buy a Made-in-USA version of his specialty shower head.
[*]He found it would cost three times as much to produce — and raised the sale price by 85%.
[*]After several days of testing, a total of zero customers bought the USA model.
[/LIST]
As a small business owner, Ramon van Meer said he's used to hearing people say they'd be willing to pay more for products made in America.
When President Donald Trump ratcheted up tariffs on Chinese imports by an additional 145%, van Meer decided to see if shoppers would put their money where their mouth is.
"I wanted to know the answer and then use it for my own company," the Afina founder told Business Insider.
So the serial entrepreneur set about finding US suppliers to make his best-selling product: a specialized filtered shower head.
Van Meer said his filters are made in the US, some additional materials are sourced in Vietnam, and the final product is made in China with a single supplier.
To move everything over to the US, he said he had to find four to six separate suppliers who would handle various aspects of the production process. All told, he found it would cost three times as much to produce — more than the cost of simply paying the tariff.
Armed with real numbers, he set out to do a test with two identical products, with the only difference being their origin and, critically, their price: visitors to Afina's website were presented with the option of a Chinese-made item for $129 or a US-made version for $239.
"I'm big on just testing it out with real data and real purchases," van Meer said. "Not asking customers, not a survey, not even add-to-carts."
"When somebody has to pay for it, that's the actual real data," he added.
After several days and more than 25,000 visitors, he said he sold 584 of the lower-priced shower heads and not one single purchase of a US-made version.

In a [blog]('https://afina.com/blogs/news/made-in-usa') post that went viral, van Meer called the results "sobering."
"We wanted to believe customers would back American labor with their dollars. But when faced with a real decision — not a survey or a comment section — they didn't," he wrote.
Nowadays van Meer said he's spending most of his time trying to shift production out of China to a country with a lower tariff rate.
"Staying in China is not sustainable because even if they make a deal, we don't know what's going to happen," he said. "The United States is also not an option, because there's just no facilities that can make it."

So is this article outdated already based on the article posted by [USER=11]@cany[/USER] ?
Do you feel better about yourself being so negative in life?
It will all work put for the better. Maybe not for you. Well, obviously not.
Holy Shit another example how logical decisions and not compassionate ones are made by only one side. Need to cancel the other side going forward.

I can’t even get on a fucking plane right now due to the lax bullshit libs have created until I get a new enhanced license. Was told by DOD I need it to get back on base if I visit. Well WTF! I have a FBI check every few years, a mandated physical every year but can’t take a domestic flight because of shit like what we have here. Literally got a new license endorsement in person last year with no enhancement. Fuck You NY and Fuck You Waders of the US. This is your fault.

Eh, it was the Republicans & W who started the REAL-ID train...
The REAL ID Act of 2005 was introduced by Representative Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI). The House of Representatives passed the Act as H.R. 418 in February 2005. The law was signed into law by President George W. Bush on May 11, 2005.
Guess Fox News didn't cover it enough and you missed the thousands of emails, including the ones from DOD. I even knew about the DOD part because I fish with a friend whose boat is docked in the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard...

It’s not what it’s for. It’s the point I’ve been there (DMV) three times in three years and I have all sorts of shit you don’t have on regular licenses. Did anyone one mention it to me that it wasn’t enhanced? No. Did anyone ever say I couldn’t get on a domestic flight? No. Only thing ever mentioned was “Rick you don’t have a DOD I.D. you’re gonna need an enhanced license to come back on base”. I don’t know what you guys and Fox bashing is about. I don’t watch Fox or any cable tv channels. However now I need it and the state closed down conveniently two DMV’s and won’t allow walk ins, but it was okay for a half million illegals for months to have lines wrapped around every DMV office for months. That pisses me off, and I have to show the same fucking proof (Birth Certificate, and SS Card) to get it that I have to show every other time I go. The point. Illegals don’t have either so fuck you and the libs for making it come to this for the rest of us. Thank you very much for your time Good Day - Paul Harvey.
