Going on a cruise should disable your ability to collect welfare - if you can afford a cruise, you can afford food.

Setting aside the question of effectiveness, why are tax dollars paying for this? If he wants to run the spot, let the political funds pony up.

@Brownkyl1 I bet he was one of the 33K fully qualified American undergrads, with a high GPA & MCAT score, rejected from US med schools. This is what they’re forcing American students to do to achieve their dreams of becoming physicians!

Beautiful Opal Beach, located within Gulf Islands National Seashore between Pensacola Beach and Navarre Beach. 💙 The beach was named after Hurricane Opal, which caused extensive damage to this area in 1995. Today, it’s one of the most beautiful stretches of beach along the Emerald Coast.

This is extremely dark

[sabindc @sab_in_dc]

@rising_serpent It’s worse. At least 33K fully qualified undergrads (based on GPA and MCAT scores) are rejected from American med schools every year. That’s the real problem!

@BuyDirectUSA Here’s my drawer full of Liberty Tabletop Modern America flatware. I’ve got every piece in the collection, and it looks as good as the day I bought it.

Get it - it’s worth every penny!

[sabindc @sab_in_dc]

@by_pets 😡This is what gets me. The sweet innocent pets killed every day by these beasts. We seldom hear about the gentle cat lounging in the sun or the little dog just playing in his own yard. But they matter & I’m tired of their stories getting lost. Pits are a menace & ALL need to go!

[sabindc @sab_in_dc]

@ChandlerForPB The problem is Americans aren’t making it to PGY1 (residency) b/c they’re not getting into med school. Meanwhile, foreign “doctors” w/questionable credentials swoop in & fill the artificially created gaps.

US med schools reject ~30k of ~55k applicants, many w/top MCAT/GPAs.

@julieinjax Liar. All you people care about is enriching yourselves at the expense of taxpayers. Just stop.

The way this worked was that state U trained local boys who liked their home. Local boy bought a practice from old local boy. He bought radiology, labs, etc and billed the local hospital that he was on the board of. He got fairly rich and locals knew their doctor. (1/x)

[sabindc @sab_in_dc]

@JaxPeel You cannot be serious. This is your justification for voting NO? Mosquito spraying? Just stop.

[sabindc @sab_in_dc]

We’ve made it incredibly difficult for Americans to become physicians, while simultaneously importing thousands of “doctors” with questionable credentials and even more questionable educations because there’s a “physician shortage.” This is a self-licking ice cream cone!

[Expose H1B Fraud @JobsNowPaper]

Look at this chart.
These are American residency programs.

Red = foreign resident doctors.
Grey = Americans.

Some hospitals are almost 100% foreign. A lot of these doctors came in on visas. Some have been tied to fake credentials and USMLE cheating scandals.

I pay the premiums. I wait months to be seen. Taxpayer-funded Medicare GME money(over $21 billion a year) is training these foreign doctors instead of Americans.

And I DO NOT even trust these doctors !

Why should we keep funding this?

[sabindc @sab_in_dc]

@BuyDirectUSA I recommend the Modern America collection. We absolutely love it!

[sabindc @sab_in_dc]

My drawer is full of the entire Modern America collection from Liberty Tabletop. It’s well-crafted, timeless, and beautiful. Worth every penny!

[The Buy American Movement - BuyDirectUSA ❤️🇺🇸 @BuyDirectUSA]

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. 🇺🇸
