64.6° F at 7:07am in Smiths Grove, KY; home of the brave (excluding me).
Had a great day yesterday. Read a book written by one of my friends. It got humid but all in all was a wonderful late July day.
Man am I juiced by the Presidents beating up on the EU. My railroad career was based on a U.S. company not being able to sell or move products to other countries. CSX served the Eastern U.S. and Southern Canada. We could haul anything into the U.S., but we had to watch what we shipped into Canada. Justin Trudeau, lying little bastard, is shaking in his boots now that Trump wants FREE trade. He wants to keep NAFTA which takes care of Canada and Mexico and screwed over the U.S.
NAFTA is another night mare agreed to by the U.S. I held public office for 10 years and for four of those years I was on the Executive Board of BRADD (my areas Area Development District). We handed out the money to folks who lost their jobs because of NAFTA. The U.S. paid to send people back to school, so they could get another job that moved to Mexico or Canada. Hell they (Congress) knew when it was passed that America would lose jobs and they still did it. I watched my loads (railroad cars) drop a bunch after NAFTA. I had a large factory near Madisonville, KY that made lighting fixtures for homes and industry. As soon as NAFTA passed they closed. Hell, in my Evansville territory CSX originated 80,000 cars of grain (roughly 100 tons per car) and we could not ship them to Europe or Canada.
Finally, Trump is going to force freer trade from other countries instead of cheering other countries screwing America.
