Fetterman

[headhunter15]

Who had John Fetterman being the most common sense senator in 2023 on their bingo card? The voice of reason in the Democratic Party. Pro Israel, willing to discuss the border, and now taking on foreign ownership of critical infrastructure.

Is Fetterman embracing the MAGA? @turbovol

 

[Septic]

He's anti-capitalism?

 

[McDad]

US Steel is a private company. He wants to block the sale of a private company and some of yall support his decision?

[StarRaider]

[volinbham]

gonna be interesting to see how Team Biden plays this.

his FTC absolutely hates mergers/acquisitions; they claim to love union workers; Biden has the same "made in America" rhetoric as Trump

stay tuned

They'll still be union after the handover.

This is it..and this is why it needs to be sold to the Japanese. Then they can move all production to Right to Work states.

I don’t know with Fetterman. He seems to be a loose cannon, especially when he goes on The View and calls for Menendez to be removed from Congress. He reminds me a bit of Jesse Ventura.

 

[FortSanders]

US Steel is one of the worst run companies in the US.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Is he trying to be the next Manchin (i.e., talk about not falling in line but once some pork gets attached for PA, ends up falling in line...

Is it possible that we now have politicians that are going to cater to their constituents rather than to the party line?

In what way is Fetterman catering to the citizens of Pennsylvania?

Organized labor and the US Steel HQ is in Pittsburg.

I understand. Is the proposed sale of US Steel conditional on the Union being ousted? Is it conditional on the HQ being relocated? If not, how is Fetterman catering to constituents?

Japanese manufactures in the US have a history of building plants in right to work states.

 

[KB5252]

So he's like every other politician out there......I agree with him on some matters, others I don't..... Like this one.

I doubt we see them move a foundry.

That's nice.

Is the sale conditional on moving to right to work states?

Fetterman’s constituents are probably concerned that it’s a possibility.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

They’ve closed about half of them in the US.

Nucor is eating their lunch. Nucor isn’t unionized.

Excellent. Perhaps they should be. So, it Fetterman correct to use the immense power a Senator holds to block the sale? Or, should he simply be a voice to coalesce the concerns of his constituents without the threat of wielding his power?
