@dosegenderos I certainly think that aliens and UFO's are really, especially since I've seen a UFO during broad daylight, but they need to be a lot more forthcoming with info if they want whistleblower protections and you just know they have definitive pictures of this stuff.

@dosegenderos I wish I had the time to go to the big airshow in Oshkosh Wi., or the air force museum in Dayton Ohio.

In 2005, Oneida shut the flatware factory in Sherrill, New York.

A town that had made silverware for MORE THAN 100 YEARS was supposed to be finished.

Two men refused to let that happen.

Their names are Matt Roberts and Greg Owens.

Roberts had managed that factory. Owens was another former Oneida manufacturing manager. When the company ended U.S. production, they bought the plant and the equipment and reopened it the NEXT DAY as Sherrill Manufacturing.

They did not have a giant rescue fund.
They did not have a Hollywood ending waiting.
They had a building, some machines, and a workforce that knew how to make forks, knives, and spoons.

At first they kept making product for Oneida.

Then Oneida pulled the remaining American work and sent it overseas.

That should have been the end.

It wasn’t.

They took government flatware contracts to keep the lights on. In 2010 they filed Chapter 11. They sold unused equipment. They sold space they could no longer fill. They leased back only the part of the factory they could still run.

They came out of bankruptcy in 2013.

Then they did the thing that saved the company.

They built their own brand: Liberty Tabletop.

They sold 18/10 stainless flatware straight to customers who wanted tableware MADE IN THE UNITED STATES.

Not through a department store that could drop them overnight.
Direct.

Today Liberty Tabletop is the only company still manufacturing stainless steel flatware in America.

Same town.
Same trade.
U.S. steel.
About 70 jobs.

They did not bring back 2,000 workers. Nobody did.

What they saved was the last line.

If you want American-made forks and spoons, this is the factory that still makes them.

Support Liberty Tabletop.
THIS is what keeping manufacturing in America actually looks like. 🇺🇸

@honestpollster And you warned them, you told them that they needed to course correct and they blew you off. They will reap what they've sewn.

Gamers Nexus recently called out LG over how its smart TVs collect data, and one guy had enough.

After watching the report, YouTuber tfm55x opened his new LG G6 OLED TV and removed the Wi-Fi, microphone and Bluetooth antenna.
He said he didn’t want LG snooping on him, and a private network didn’t seem like enough.

While removing the hardware, he had a message for LG:
“You don’t own the glass on this one. I flatly refuse to pay that much money for a television and then have you snooping on everything I'm doing. It's none of your damn business.”

He later posted a follow-up showing the TV still worked perfectly after the modifications.
