    I know we're "contards" and uneducated and idiots but falling for stories like this means one is educated and enlightened?

    Snopes did NOT say the story was BS.

    From wacko's Snopes link:

    WHAT'S TRUE

    Harley-Davidson has announced the closure of at least one of its United States factories; the company also announced that it would be opening a manufacturing plant in Thailand.
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    Harley Davidson is shutting down a US factory and moving jobs to Bangkok after cashing in on Trump’s tax cut



    https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/har...rumps-tax-cut/

    Despite President Donald Trump’s claim that massive tax cuts will boost U.S. employment numbers, motorcycle manufacturer Harley Davidson instead announced a plant closing, followed by a massive stock buy-back and is now shifting some jobs to Thailand.

    In a deep dive into happenings at the Milwaukee-based manufacturer of highly-coveted motorcycles, Vox discovered employees and union leaders who believe that they were betrayed by the company which prides itself on its reputation for American-built products.

    According to the report, in 2017 House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) hyped up proposed Republican tax cuts, telling workers in his home state, “Tax reform can put American manufacturers and American companies like Harley-Davidson on a much better footing to compete in the global economy and keep jobs here in America.”

    However, after the GOP delivered on their proposal, executives announced the closing of a plant in Kansas City, Missouri — with 800 workers losing their jobs as some operations were moved to a York, Pennsylvania facility- leading to a net loss of 350 positions. According to union leaders, they never saw it coming.
    I am sorry to hear this, it was my hope the tax cuts would be good for something if they were going to happen. Disappointing

    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    Believe it or not, there are some progressives who do understand how businesses operate, not that you are one of them, and further understand post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacies that the statist DNC uses as their lifeblood are, well, fallacious arguments.
