It used to be a fun place to work; I didnt mind going, she explained. Then they started making changes that only benefit them: robots, cutting jobs. Just yesterday, they were talking about cutting a three-man blower-shelf crewthey deal with the forms that hold the blower on one side and the heating element on the otherdown to two. But two people cant do that job.
She then reflected about Trumps visit to Carrier last December and said she believed it was a setup to make Trump look good while still keeping in place plans for mass layoffs.

I think the C.E.O. of Carrier and Trump was in bed together the whole time, she said. That day Trump came to Carrier, those two were too chummy. The way they sniggled and giggled. That sneaky kind of sh*t-eating grin.
As for what shell do now, Battle says that she will spend some time with her 77-year-old father.
He thinks Trump blew smoke up our asses, too, she said of her father.

Putin is brutally killing journalists. Yet his people support him. Why? Propanganda.
Hitler killed millions, yet his people voted him in. Why? Propaganda.
We will never save this country until we eliminate the propaganda GOP media.

(82,849 posts)The workers didn't look too closely at what Candidate Trump was saying, they just knew it sounded good. Other people's jobs might go away, but Trump would save theirs. How was he going to do that? Well, he's a successful businessman, with brilliant insights unavailable to mere mortals. Democrats told those workers that Trump's promises weren't worth the breath it took to lie them out, but that's not what those workers wanted to hear. The workers' dissatisfaction with the Democrats' message was heavily buttressed by Fox, which told those workers that the Democrats wanted them to be out of work.

(5,810 posts)How tRump with a grin and a handshake sold these workers and the nation a bill of goods. They were hopeful yet worried about their jobs---their future. And tRump, knowing this, preyed upon their vulnerabilities to make himself look good. They should expose this scumdog for the lowlife he is.

Has he ever done anything good at all? All I can see is a lifetime of selfishness, cruelty, greed, corruption, vengeance, hatred, perversion, vulgarity and lies.
