Hey, Dave and Joe,

Mike Braun of Indiana, who just won his US Senate seat for the republicans, is president and CEO of Meyer Distributing ...a SEMA member and winner of SEMA's 2017 Warehouse Distributor of the Year.

Here's a link to Meyer Distributing's website (https://meyerdistributing.com/).

Congrats Mike Braun !!!

Mahindra -- the largest global maker of tractors (and a bunch of other things) -- is at SEMA show for first very time (fyi, they are in an exploratory partnership with Ford (http://stangsunited.com/showthread.php?9022-Ford-and-Mahindra-Explore-3-Year-Strategic-Alliance)). They showed their 'jeep-like' 4x4 with their small diesel. Heck, I'd buy one these if they start making them here. Their products are well-made and well supported.

Who knows, maybe Ford will latch onto this little jewel if/as their cross licensing of engines/vehicles gets traction.

But you know he ships jobs to China and Mexico, right? :rolleyes:

There were about 100 commercials a day on here for the past few weeks saying so. LOL

[68fastback]

Well, they don't make their 'product' but not sure I'd call it shipping jobs overseas any more than Amazon or most of GE (or Walmart or Sears, etc.) :shades: ...since they're a distributing and logistics company that mates product to customer demand so product is inherently sourced broadly ...and, like Amazon, most of their employees are US based.

The spending this political season was outrageous ...we were getting 2-a dozen or more political mailers/day for weeks :faint: ...probably similar everywhere but we're registered as independents so we get over-the-top targeting :faint:

[68fastback]

I was being sarcastic lol

I know -lol- but it's a valid point since, at one level, anything purchased abroad could be considered substituting for American jobs :shades: ...ultimately it all comes down to competitiveness since the world is a closed, though growing, economy so competitiveness (and creativity/technology that opens new opportunities) determines how much of the bucket we get to use to MAGA :giggle: :banana:
