I’m a construction worker/builder between jobs right now, and I haven’t felt like I am capable of making any kind of decision what direction to go in life for the past 2 months. I am curios is anyone has thoughts on switching industries/jobs based on the Trump trade war/annexation. My only idea right now is joining the army, or the ildu or something.

    I believe they meant that 30% of their product goes across the border, not that 30% of the company was splitting off and moving country.

      Correct. I’m in logistics and we do rail road and maritime, and 30% of our money is moving stuff across the border.

      If it’s going to US clients them there is no choice but if it’s going to other places then it’s often easier to ship it to hubs like Chicago or NYC, Baltimore, etc, and then out. Whole network is basically shot and now our clients feel the pain and stop ordering anything.
