That would be a bunch. Not to mention, all of those who were put on paid leave and were brought back. Sounds like a Chinese fire drill without the organization or forethought.

Trump has used the tariffs to extort the entire world claiming they have all been unfair to us, which is a lie and nuts. As a result the world is fleeing from us and establishing new trade routes AROUND us e.g. the BRICS, Canada and Mexico, and the EU. And as a result the world also is not buying our exports like farm crops You should know how much trouble the farmers are in, with record bankruptcies! They can't even break even because Trumps tariffs have made things like potash and other needs too expensive, and farm prices too low. Are you not aware that China, once our biggst customer now buys almost nothing from our farmers ? That market is gone, like so many others e.g. Kentucky bourbon! Trump has made the world hate us and avoid us whenever they can!
