Amafu amakhulu kusenesikhathi. Amafu ancipha kancane kamuva emini. Ukuphakama okungu-83F. Imimoya yase-NW ku-5 kuya ku-10 mph..
Indoda imi phezu kwamapayipi ensimbi endaweni yokubeka imikhiqizo yensimbi eceleni koMfula iYangtze eningizimu-ntshonalanga yedolobha laseChongqing eShayina ngo-2014.
Abasebenzi abangu-170 beTrinity Products bezwe izindaba ezinhle kuleli sonto: Basendleleni yokuthola imali engaphezu kuka-$5,000 umuntu ngamunye ngokwabelana ngenzuzo kulo nyaka.
Lokho kukhuphuke kusuka ku-$1,100 ngonyaka odlule kanye nokuthuthuka okukhulu kusukela ngo-2015, 2016 kanye no-2017, lapho umenzi wamapayipi ensimbi engatholanga imali eyanele ukuqala izinkokhelo.
Umehluko, kusho uMengameli wenkampani uRobert Griggs, ukuthi intela kaMengameli uDonald Trump, kanye nochungechunge lwezinqumo eziphikisana nokulahla izimpahla, kwenze ukukhiqizwa kwamapayipi kwaba ibhizinisi elihle futhi.
Imboni yamapayipi yaseTrinity eSt. Charles yavalwa ngesonto eledlule ngenxa yezikhukhula, kodwa uGriggs ulindele ukuthi izosebenza kuleli sonto, yenze amapayipi amakhulu obubanzi bamachweba, izindawo zikawoyela kanye namaphrojekthi okwakha ezweni lonke. ITrinity iphinde isebenzise imboni yokukhiqiza e-O'Fallon, eMo.
Ngo-2016 nango-2017, uTrinity walahlekelwa uchungechunge lwama-oda amakhulu okuthola amapayipi avela eShayina ayethengiswa, kusho uGriggs, ngemali encane kunaleyo ayezoyikhokhela insimbi eluhlaza yokwenza ipayipi. Emsebenzini eHolland Tunnel yaseNew York City, walahlekelwa yinkampani ethengisa amapayipi enziwe eTurkey ngamakhoyili ensimbi enziwe eShayina.
I-Trinity inesikhungo sesitimela ePennsylvania, amamayela angu-90 ukusuka emhubheni, kodwa yayingakwazi ukuncintisana nensimbi eyayihamba izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zendlela emhlabeni wonke. “Sasingabakhiqizi basekhaya abangabizi kakhulu, futhi salahlekelwa yilelo bhidi ngo-12%,” kukhumbula uGriggs. “Asikwazanga ukuthola neyodwa yalezo zinhlelo ezinkulu ngaleso sikhathi.”
I-Trinity imise amaphrojekthi amakhulu abiza u-$8 million ngesikhathi sokungasebenzi kahle futhi yanciphisa ukulingana kwayo okungu-401(k), kodwa ingxenye embi kakhulu, kusho uGriggs, kwakuwukudumaza abasebenzi. I-Trinity isebenzisa ukuphathwa kwezincwadi ezivulekile, yabelana ngemibiko yezezimali yanyanga zonke nabasebenzi futhi yabelana ngenzuzo nabo eminyakeni emihle.
“Nginamahloni okuma phambi kwabasebenzi bami uma besebenza kanzima futhi kufanele ngithi, ‘Madoda, asenzi inzuzo eyanele,’” kusho uGriggs.
Imboni yensimbi yase-US ithi inkinga yayiwukuba namandla amaningi eShayina, futhi iyikho. I-Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ibala ukuthi izigayo zomhlaba zingenza amathani angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-561 kunalawo abasebenzisi bensimbi abawadingayo, futhi okuningi kwalokho okweqile kwadalwa lapho iShayina iphinda kabili amandla ayo okwenza insimbi phakathi kuka-2006 no-2015.
UGriggs uthe wayengakhathazeki kakhulu ngezinkinga zokuhweba esikhathini esidlule, kodwa lapho ukugcwala kwensimbi yangaphandle kuqala ukulimaza ibhizinisi lakhe, wanquma ukulwa. UTrinity wajoyina iqembu labakhiqizi bamapayipi abafaka izikhalazo zokuhweba ngokumelene neChina namanye amazwe amahlanu.
Ngo-Ephreli, uMnyango Wezohwebo wanquma ukuthi abangenisi bamapayipi amakhulu aseShayina kufanele bakhokhe intela yesijeziso engu-337%. Waphinde wabeka intela kumapayipi avela eCanada, eGrisi, eNdiya, eNingizimu Korea naseTurkey.
Lezo zindleko, ngaphezu kwentela engu-25% eyabekwa nguTrump ngonyaka odlule ensimbini eningi engeniswa kwamanye amazwe, ziguqule izinto kubakhiqizi abanjengoTrinity. “Sisesikhundleni esihle kakhulu engisibonile eminyakeni eyishumi,” kusho uGriggs.
Lezi zindleko ziyabiza umnotho wase-US kabanzi. Ucwaningo olulodwa, olwenziwe ngosomnotho abavela eBhange i-New York Federal Reserve, ePrinceton University naseColumbia University, lulinganisela ukuthi izindleko zikaTrump zibiza abathengi namabhizinisi amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu ngenyanga ngentela eyengeziwe kanye namaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.4 ngenyanga ngokulahlekelwa ukusebenza kahle.
Nokho, uGriggs uthi uhulumeni udinga ukuvikela abakhiqizi baseMelika ekuncintisaneni okungafanele nokuxhaswa ngemali. Kwakukhona izikhathi lapho ayengabaza khona ukuthi unengqondo yini ngokutshala imali eyizigidi eziyi-10 zamaRandi ukuvula isitshalo saseSt. Charles ngo-2007 kanye nezigidi ezengeziwe ukuze asikhulise kusukela ngaleso sikhathi.
Uthi ukukwazi ukunikeza lawo masheke amakhulu okwabelana ngenzuzo ekupheleni konyaka kuzokwenza konke kube nenzuzo.
