I honestly don't follow to much of your politics but I know his plans and certainly his immigration stance are turning out disasterous. Toronto seems to be taking a real turn on the immigration idea they so comfortably let happen..."for the greater good". I'm gonna start watching the US/Canadian relationship closer. Trump is a powerhouse but I don't want to lose Canada in the mix. I don't think we will....but I think Trudeau's policies may need to start getting scaled back if we are to stay in sync. That's good for a lot of you......bad for the librulz. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franks pond Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Kobe Steel admits data fraud went on nearly five decades, CEO to quit Yuka Obayashi 5 Min Read TOKYO (Reuters) - Kobe Steel Ltd admitted on Tuesday its data fraud has been going on nearly five decades and also revealed new cases of cheating, highlighting the challenges facing the 112-year-old company mired in compliance failures and malfeasance. Japan’s third-biggest steelmaker said its CEO will step down to take responsibility for the widespread data fraud scandal that came to light last year, although doubts remain over its corporate culture and the possibility of future fines. Kobe Steel, which supplies steel parts to manufacturers of cars, planes and trains around the world, admitted last year to supplying products with falsified specifications to about 500 customers, throwing global supply chains into turmoil. The company, in announcing the results from a four-month-long investigation by an external committee, said it had also found new cases of impropriety, widening the total of affected clients to 605, including 222 customers overseas. “I feel heavy responsibility as our data falsification has caused trouble to so many customers,” the resigning CEO and chairman, Hiroya Kawasaki, told a news conference. “I’ve offered my resignation ... as I think preventive measures should be done under a new management,” he said. Kawasaki will leave his post on April 1, with his successor to be decided soon by the board, the company said. Inappropriate actions were widespread, and were carried out with the knowledge and involvement of many, including management, the company said. Kobe Steel also announced the resignation of Executive Vice President Akira Kaneko and temporary pay cuts for up to 80 percent of all internal directors and executive officers. The case was one of the country’s biggest industrial scandals in recent memory, which set off a rash of malfeasance revelations by other Japanese heavyweights, hitting the country’s reputation for manufacturing excellence.

The US steel industry is important and I know we have some guys here who work for it, but at what cost are we going to pay for one industry? Where are his fucking advisors? It is fun watching the fiscal conservatives explain this as “winning” though hahaha... I'm a fiscal conservative and this nonsense is an abomination. I'm all about buying USA, tools, vehicles, Bill's Jeans ect. price up Bill's Jeans and the average working guy is going to say fuck that give the Asian made Levi's, now we're going to tax the working man when he buys his "John Deere" lawn tractor at Home Depot .

It isn't surprising that we run a deficit as we buy more than we sell to others. It is just common sense. When you break down the why and the scale to reasonable and comparable metrics, the US does very well as a whole. Do we lose in some industries? Absolutely. Its the nature of the beast. Trade is good. We will always run a deficit. The day we don't is the day we aren't king on the mountain because we no longer hold consumer leverage over the world. Mercantilism died a long time ago... The problem is people with zero economic sense think that is how the world operates still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
