@Travtothefuture @repblumenauer How about an import duty on Airbus planes delivered to US airlines? Or an airport usage tax for every time an Airbus jet lands at a US airport?

@bellepente @repblumenauer Taking in everything that has been said, I'm not into people losing their jobs. I also don't like other countries taking advantage of us. What should be done?

The wine industry is responsible for thousands of jobs in Oregon. These nonsensical tariffs would have a devastating impact on Oregon wine industries, restaurants & small businesses. We cannot punish American industry through irresponsible trade retaliation. I'm fighting back.

@Travtothefuture @repblumenauer I would never discourage anyone from buying American wine (like ours!), but the reality is that the tariffs on European wine have already caused Americans to lose their jobs, and many more will if these taxes on US businesses are extended to other EU wines and/or increased ...

@repblumenauer Buy American wine, if you want Americans to have jobs.

@jamcm @repblumenauer Yes, more appealing in price, but we depend on the same national distribution network to get our wines to market as the imports ... so it doesn't matter if our wines are more competitive if half of our distributors go out of business in 6 months because of these tariffs ...

@repblumenauer I’m not a global trade expert, but wouldn’t this make Oregon wines MORE APPEALING in price to consumers therefore BOOSTING Oregon’s wine industry?

@stadler @repblumenauer Whitney is right ... OR wineries like ours depend on the same national distribution network as imported wines ... half of these companies could be out of business within 6 months if the 100% tariff goes into effect ... it would be devastating to US wineries

@repblumenauer I’m thinking those “thousands of jobs” include actual growers and producers of local Oregon wine, who would not be hurt by these tariffs. This only affects imports.

@Yankees tonight was a complete disaster! Should have called the game at 3p ... with all the rain there was no way the field would be ready!

Tonight's Yankees game vs the Orioles has been postponed due to unplayable field conditions. It will be made up this Wednesday, May 15th, as part of a single-game admission doubleheader beginning at 3:00 p.m. All Yankee Stadium Gates will open at 2:00 p.m. for the doubleheader.
