Volvo slows American plant hiring after China hikes tariffs in dispute with Trump

I've never taken complicated economics advice from someone who's too lazy to teach themselves the difference between THEN and THAN.

and you CANNOT blame your refusal to teach yourself basic one syllable words on your past, or on an education system, or on life's circumstances.

It's up to YOU to teach yourself.

If you weren't lazy, you could sit down right now and teach yourself how to differentiate between THEN & THAN, YOUR & YOU'RE, THERE THEIR & THEY'RE.

it would only take you 5 minutes tops to drill these words into your head forever.

But instead, you choose to sit in Zig Forums.

but I'm NOT insulting you

I'm actually on your side

I like you

The way I see it, your biggest problem is in your PACKAGING.

you don't seem to understand
how to package things, how to
market your product…………….

if you want to persuade people
you need to package your message

if your goal is to demonstrate
an intelligent outlook on life,
not being able to spell simple
one syllable words defeats
the purpose……………………

If you got somebody a
gold watch, you don't
want to wrap the box
with used toilet paper

if you want people to follow
your 'life advice', you don't
want to present yourself as
someone who let his life
become a self imposed
prison of fear………………

if you want people to click on
links, you shouldn't overwhelm
them by posting 35 links at a time

that makes it mathematically
improbable that they'll even
click on even ONE of the links

to market your product,
whatever product it may
be, you'll want to make
people actually WANT
the product……………

if you want to convince people
to follow your example, and to
make modifications to their
lives……………………………… you
shouldn't present an image of
a man who has lost his ability
to be happy due to his addiction
to paranoia and fear……………….

Hey faggot boomer, I would gladly pay double for shampoo and toilet paper if it meant America fucked off from the world trade network. Unlike your kind I actually give a shit about my people and the lives they're able to lead. Fuck your lolbertarian "people are just economic units to be assfucked into oblivion" philosophy.

MARKETING 101

present an image of something your
audience will actually DESIRE

it's not like you have any choice in the matter

in fact, they never asked your permission

because your
opinions don't
matter, and your
permission is
not required

oh, and by the way…………

Congratulations on the
'spelling your & they're
correctly' achievement

THIS. When we manufactured products in the USA they were much better quality, but they cost more too. Didn't mean people didn't buy the products, in fact the whole world used to buy our products because we made THE BEST QUALITY products out there.

I still have an old 60s Maytag manual washer that works. I wouldn't mind taking a picture of that, btw.

(whispers)

"psssst! Hey you… Yeah, YOU!"

they've been economically
assfucking you into oblivion
since the day you were born

and your parents before you

and their parents before them

people also used to dress
in suits and ties every day

and they used to hold doors
open for little old ladies, and
they said "thankyou" and
"yes ma'am" and "no sir"

but the world changed

and it's not coming back

I've got my kids and my
wife AND my mother all
waiting to see the toasters
today……

I already told you that my
father had a collection of
antique and retro toasters

so it's really important
to my family, and I told
them you'd have photos
to share today.

(png files with no metadata)

please don't disappoint
them on this Christmas
season. They're counting
on you

Q: who changed the Made In USA thing?

A: politicians & businessmen

……..wow……….

I just realized that
Caveman Trump
is a businessman
turned politician…

Not very good at either role
But he's both nevertheless

lol @ how he's actually
HURTING our economy

the White House pumps out brainwashing press release propaganda, claiming our economy has grown stronger, that unemployment is down, that our military is stronger, that other nations respect us more, that North Korea is bowing down to us, etc etc etc

B U L L S H I T

I have seen ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF of any of those claims, and in fact, it appears to be the exact opposite.

but sheeple will believe
whatever they WANT to
believe, no matter what

Killcen, now I'm kinda upset with you.

My mother is crying. She came all the
way over to my apartment special to
see your photos of the toasters.

wow

DUDE, that was really stupid expecting me to dig through all my stuff, especially opening up unopened boxes and taking these things out without needing to use them yet. I told you many times they are a major hassle to find, let alone opening them up just to take pictures and re-wrapping them and putting them back.

I said I'd be willing to take a photo of the Hamilton toaster that my bother gave me (when he was done using it) because that one is simply laying around in a closet. I'll take a photo of that, but I CANNOT guarantee I can find the others because they could be anywhere, whether in the storage room, or stacked in my garage (which is filled up), or wherever. I have TONS of old electronics stashed away.

If I take a photo of the used Hamilton toaster will you be satisfied for now?

Thank-you for reminding me !!

I forgot to call Warden Willis Chapman of the Thumb Correctional Facility in Michigan to report John Ortiz-Keyhoe for using cellphones in prison to solicit commissary funds.

Thankyou

BRB

dude, my mother is 87 years old

this meant a lot to her

(she's a good Christian woman)

OK, hold on a couple minutes, I got a pic of the used Hamilton toaster + something else that she WILL REMEMBER (its vintage now, and it still works!) Must convert to PNG and transfer…. I'll be back on soon….

Don't forget the .exif data!
Can't be having all that now, can we?

Exactly, working on it. This is why it gets me disgruntled, every pic takes about 30min to finally post knowing everything is legit and safe (+conversion and transfer time).

My mother is smiling now. Thank-you

Get the other ones out of their boxes too

This is the used Hamilton, I should have cleaned it a bit before tossing into a fucking closet!

This is an old Maytag manual washer from the early 1960s! (Still works!)

My mother just said "your father didn't collect vintage washers. I want to see more toasters"

mom wants to know if that's an old Hamilton Beach 31401 Stainless Steel 4 Slice ?

I don't "collect" anything, neither did my father. I have older backup electronics because I prefer them to the newer ones.

This took me time to do so you guys should be happy with this.

I have no clue, all I know is its somewhat new (maybe 5 or 6 years old now) and my brother handed it to me because 1) he got a new toaster and 2) he knows I store older backup electronics.

PS: my brother thinks I'm a "kook" just like you guys. So he said one day "hey, if we ever get something new, we'll be willing to give you our older used stuff" and I said "I'll take a look at it, maybe I'll want it, maybe not."

She's smiling. I'm printing out the photo of the old Hamilton. She's finally happy.

She's telling my kids stories about dads collection. She says she doesn't mind waiting for the other photos. She'll be here for a couple more hours

If I knew exactly where these backup toasters were and could easily access them, I'd give her pics of ALL of them. The fact is Johnny, sorry, I don't know and I am not spending a whole day or two digging through all my crap. Note that I have boxes stacked to the fucking ceiling everywhere around my house. Its a dump, although I don't hold onto trash, only older valuables.

Killcen…………….

PAY ATTENTION:
I do not think you're a kook

it'll be worth it

street lights

Be happy with what you have, I never took pics for anyone but for you before on any image boards. You're lucky I took my time to do all this.

Maybe sometime, if you accept this, I'll take some time to post a pic of something else thats old (like my coffee machine or something thats around here in the open).

Will you post a pic of your willy for me, if I say Pretty Please?

Tell your mother no.

China's only hurting ITSELF, LOL

wow……….

REALLY?!!……..

Dude…. This is some bullshit

Not Johnny, but I feel bad about you having to spend so much time doing something as simple as stripping .exif data from photos. I know you're running an older GNU / Linux distro, but not sure which one, so I will give you a few ideas..

scottlinux.com/2010/08/07/how-to-strip-exif-data/

Now, this next link may only have one tool that will be useful for you.. GIMP.
If you're not already aquainted with it, you should be. You can not only change the filetypes but you can get rid of the .exif data too..

makeuseof.com/tag/3-ways-to-remove-exif-metadata-from-photos-and-why-you-might-want-to/

Read the part about GIMP.

I know you don't like learning new things or fucking around with your computer, but sometimes it can save a lot of time to learn a new technique. My distro already comes with tools for this, like MAT. Most do. Look up your distro and what tools it has either with it, or available. And get BRAVE Browser. I told you how. It's easy as fuck!

Wendy thinks you should give the cat an Asian name

Really, and I just took another look to no prevail. I don't know where those old toasters are, and note that they are still in their boxes unused, so I would think I would see them. They have to be buried amongst tons of other old stuff (which is NOT unusual around here).

Although, I did find an older crock pot from the 60s or possibly 70s. If you want a pic of that, I could do that for you later sometime.

Pleeze do not cook the cat in the crockpot..
Wendy said "Crackpot Cat", not "Crockpot Cat"..

You're probably not going to believe this, but after I clicked on your post oh, I completely forgot what I was going to say.

I just remembered what I was going to say… I'll tell you later

avail*

I think that crock pot may have been handed down to me when I was younger, don't remember. I've always held onto stuff over the years. Very rarely will I ever buy something new (and if it is newer, it can't be digitized if its an appliance or I won't buy it). This rules out about 80% of the crap sold in modern stores today unfortunately.

And now hes running Volvo.

Actually, I don't think the Crock-Pot will do me any good right now because my mother is very upset and she went into the bathroom and I hear her crying right now so I'm going to have to try to console her

Tell her I'm sorry as much as you are, you should have listened to me before though, I warned you I don't know where everything is! I hoard older stuff, I got stuff stacked to the fucking ceilings all over the place, all along the walls, corners and every closet including my fucking garage is packed. You have no idea the time it would take to look through all this stuff, and then to put it all back!

she says she'll wait. she'll be here until 4

By my estimation, about 20 minutes ago Warden Willis Chapman called inmate John Ortiz-Keyhoe into his office, and told him about my phone call, and put an end to Mr. Ortiz-Keyhoe's internet activities

All I can say is this: the toasters have are not all that important, I have 3 or 4 extra old toasters somewhere around all the clutter.

However, I found an old crock pot, I have older radios, I have an old 50s flashlight if she wanted to see that, I have an old camera from the 50s (don't have any bulbs for it though). I have an old coffee machine from the late 70s. Blah blah. I could take a few pics of those, if you PROMISE to stop making a big deal about a few old lost toasters.

not that important?
try telling that to my mother

How the fuck is he gonna run Volvo now you've done that?

Did you tell your mother these toasters are basically lost and buried somewhere under tons clutter and would be a MASSIVE hassle for me to try to find? I kinda regret not being more organized after all of this to tell you the truth.

dude, she's 87 and in a wheelchair

this was supposed to be her
moment in the sun, where she
got to reconnect with memories
from the past.

My daughter just told me "dad, your friend is cruel. this was supposed to be our Christmas family time"

She and my son are totally pissed at me now

I'm speechless right now

I never once said to you I'd be able to find them, I said I'd try my best which I did. I did look through some stuff, to no avail so far.

The problem here is you PROMISED someone something, expecting the other person to 100% do all the work, without any clarification that I could actually get that done.

That is what is shocking.

Fuck it, I'll look again, someplace else. It will take me a while, but I'll do the best I fucking can. You have to wait a damn while and be patient……

This is what happens when the Chinese buy a company.
In the west the shareholders would be able to remove the guy from his position at Volvo, if hes in prison for murder?

My mother just wheeled herself out of the bathroom, and she wants to know if you have either a KitchenAid 4 Slice Metal Toaster from before 1990, or a
4 Slice Countdown Leverless Toaster by Cuisinart ?

I apologize. It appears that I got us both into this Jam, and I'm very appreciative that you're going to get us both out of it… I'll make up for it somehow

my thoughts exactly

As if you needed any further proof that this is the end of the world….

Justin Timberlake has become a fake Lumberjack Hipster

*puts gun in mouth*

...

I finally found one of them, an older kMix stainless steel toaster! It's still in the package so I got a pic of that. This will have to do, because there is no way I'm digging through more than I already had to find this one.

ONCE I POST THIS PIC, THATS IT FOR TODAY. DON'T LIKE IT, TOO BAD!

...

Save the pic for tomorrow. My son and daughter just drove mom back home.

She'll be back here tomorrow

Alright…. here it is, I'm guessing this is early 2000s so its not too old, but not "new" either. Could not find the older ones.

This is definitely it for today.

Johnny, I hope you leaned a valuable lesson: DO NOT MAKE PROMISES YOU DON'T KNOW YOU CAN KEEP!!

Awesome! I've downloaded it, but you save the pic for tomorrow too, so when she comes back over, I can let you be the one to show it to her

Yes, I did learn from it, and I apologize, sir.

And thankyou

Killcen, Wendy's giving me a hard time. She wants to know if you liked her 'SHY .png' toaster cat graphic…

There is at least one dumb naive Trump supporter who lost a job at Volvo because of this. LOL

Trump is a con man who could not care less about the inbreds who voted for him.

If you downloaded the pic just show her it yourself tomorrow. PS: I think the few other older toasters I have must be buried pretty well because over time I stack stuff into newer boxes and place them ontop of the older ones, so all the really old stuff tends to be down and beneath a whole pile of other supplies. Its also stupid that most of these boxes were never labeled, so I'd have to literally dig through them for hours to find what I'm looking for.

I don't think they call people like me "hoarders…… I think they call us "pack rats."

I've never called you a hoarder

never

well, it's a good thing that we got to address this problem
