FOX: Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania over the weekend incorrectly said that a plant in the city was considering closing its doors, prompting the company to issue a response to calm workers’ fears, Erie News Now reported Tuesday.
Biden, during an interview with the local channel, was touting his support for high-speed rail and the “tens of thousands of good-paying jobs” he said could be created in support of robust high-speed rail in the U.S. While making that point, however, Biden caused fear among some workers at a major local employer. more here
So, wren is it news when Viden lies?
“prompting the company to issue a response to calm workers’ fears”
What about impacting their orders and screwing with their customer base? Pretty damn irresponsible. But then again that’s what him and the Obamanation were always good at. Wrecking good commerce. I hope they sue his ass.
Joe doesn’t got the intelligence to advance his narrative that the economy is in the tank because Trump without getting himself in trouble.
Call a lid, it’s 10:00 AM somewhere.
7 days until the next debate.
Does Joe even know which shoe goes on which foot anymore?
Trump should reinvent Killary’s old ‘3 a.m.’ ads about Sleepy Joe.
But he was at the top of his law school, if you turn the ladder upside down. Maybe he means the top of the bottom, there were a couple worse of than he was, but not many.
Put your ear on the rail to hear if the train is coming, Joe… Works every time!
The company WOULD close its doors if a Biden or one of its ilk ever gets elected.
That’s probably what old slow Joe was musing.
izlamo delenda est …
Let’s post the story about the company closing on Twitter and see if they block it.
They will move to Mexico if Joe’s elected.
@ LCD “Trump should reinvent Killary’s old ‘3 a.m.’ ads about Sleepy Joe.”
Yes, except he would have to change the time to 9:00 am for Joe.
Biden is not one to keep secrets so I wouldn’t be surprised if some idiots at, or connected with, Wabtec told Biden something in confidence in hopes of endearing themselves to him, as fawning sycophants are wont to do.
My ex-brother-in-law (not the same one referred to in a comment to another post) has an uncle who was site manager at a chemical plant. The uncle was tasked with preparing the plant for closure, while maintaining productivity levels right up to the last day. That meant lying convincingly to the workers.
He was so good, no one knew anything was coming until they showed up to work one day and found the gates locked with a note notifying them the plant was closed permanently and they were laid off. He was relocated to another state (moved out the night of closing), for his and his family’s safety, and given a substantial bonus.
I’m with ACParker on this one. The article did say they laid off about 300 employees. I read a linked article that said the layoffs, which took place in Q3, were permanent. Supposedly the market is declining due to Covid.
” The article did say they laid off about 300 employees”
There’s a biz right around the corner from us that specializes in hydraulic pumps for diesel locomotives. I’m sure the supply to the outfit Old Joe was referring to. I don’t know anything about that market but they are constantly laying off and then three months later trying to hire. Seems kinda feast or famine. And their payment terms are 90 days. Screw that.
I don’t think there’d be many businesses that would broadcast their plans to shut down in advance, unless they’re out of their minds?
Why? Because a lot of people stop applying themselves and spend their time either stealing stuff or the honest ones plan on where to go the next day.
