So who is going to be making all those beds, furniture

[malaise]

refrigerators, stoves, etc. for those thousands of families who have to replace everything now?

The worst floods ever and the worst fire ever - want more proof that the Con has to go!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

1. The same people who are making them now?

I don't get it. What do you mean?

I'm hardly in his fan club, but I don't think he caused Hurricane Harvey.

2. The same people?

They can churn out the numbers needed?

3. I don't understand what you mean either

The same factories will have increased orders, workers will get overtime, maybe new workers will be hired. Just the same as if Hillary Clinton or PBO were still president. So, yeah, why is this evidence that Hair Fuehrer has to go?

8. Lol, there's one road in my city that must have dozens of mattress stores on it.

Furniture stores are pretty ubiquitous also.

I don't think there's any shortage of beds or furniture in this country.

4. I'm sure the factories in China and Mexico can ramp up production

5. Good question!

I read that 45's immigration policies are making it harder to
find workers to help rebuild after natural disasters like Harvey.

Immigrants are afraid to travel, and afraid of being caught
in ICE sweeps.

Or else they've been deported.

Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Is Making New Homes More Expensive
Prices for construction labor and materials are soaring.

Last year, Jim Brown and other home builders around Atlanta could get a good framing crew at a rate of $3.25 per square foot. This year, the few framers they can find demand, and get, almost double that.

“They can ask anything,” Brown said. “There aren’t enough of them left.”

A high-end home builder who supported President Donald Trump last year, Brown said the president’s immigration policies have dried up the already stretched supply of Hispanic-dominated framing labor. That has driven up home prices by slowing the supply of new houses as well as raising the cost of building them. A 3,000-square-foot house that cost $9,750 to frame even late last year now costs $18,000, he said, while last year’s six-month supply of homes in the construction pipeline is down by half. And that’s even before Trump pursues promised trade rule changes that could drive up other home building costs.

Welcome to the America First version of the American home.

7. It hurts our economy that construction laborers

might actually be able to demand a near-living wage? And that the business owner might have to settle for a little less profit if the market won't bear his passing on the entire increased cost?

Maybe to readers of Bloomberg, Forbes and The Economist.

9. Precisely

You got my question - thanks
