Amafu amaninzi kwangethuba. Amafu ancipha kamva emini. Umoya ophezulu ufikelela kwi-83F. Umoya ujikeleza eNtshona ntshona kwi-5 ukuya kwi-10 mph..
Indoda imi phezu kweepayipu zentsimbi kwindawo yokubeka imveliso yentsimbi ecaleni koMlambo iYangtze kumzantsi-ntshona welizwe laseTshayina, umasipala waseChongqing, ngo-2014.
Abasebenzi abayi-170 beTrinity Products beve iindaba ezimnandi kule veki: Bakwisantya sokufumana imali engaphezulu kwe-$5,000 umntu ngamnye ekwabelaneni ngenzuzo kulo nyaka.
Oko kunyuke ukusuka kwi-$1,100 kunyaka ophelileyo kwaye kuphucuke kakhulu ukusuka ngo-2015, 2016 nango-2017, xa umenzi wemibhobho yentsimbi engazange afumane mali yaneleyo yokuqalisa iintlawulo.
Umahluko, utsho uMongameli wenkampani uRobert Griggs, kukuba irhafu kaMongameli uDonald Trump, kunye nothotho lwezigqibo ezichasene nokulahla inkunkuma, zenze ukwenziwa kweepayipi kwaba lishishini elihle kwakhona.
Umzi-mveliso wemibhobho waseTrinity eSt. Charles uvaliwe kwiveki ephelileyo ngenxa yezikhukula, kodwa uGriggs ulindele ukuba usebenze kule veki, esenza imibhobho emikhulu yezibuko, amasimi eoyile kunye neeprojekthi zokwakha kulo lonke ilizwe. ITrinity ikwaqhuba umzi-mveliso wokuvelisa e-O'Fallon, eMo.
Ngowama-2016 nangowama-2017, uTrinity walahlekelwa luthotho lwee-odolo ezinkulu zeepayipi ezivela eTshayina ezazithengiswa, utsho uGriggs, ngemali engaphantsi kunaleyo wayenokuyihlawula ngentsimbi eluhlaza yokwenza le pipe. Kwiprojekthi eHolland Tunnel yaseNew York City, walahlekelwa yinkampani ethengisa iipayipi ezenziwe eTurkey ngeentsimbi ezenziwe eTshayina.
ITrinity inesakhiwo sikaloliwe ePennsylvania, kwiikhilomitha ezingama-90 ukusuka kwitonela, kodwa yayingenakukwazi ukukhuphisana nentsimbi eyayihamba isibini kwisithathu sendlela ijikeleza ihlabathi. “Sasingabavelisi basekhaya abangabizi kakhulu, kwaye saphulukana neso sicelo nge-12%,” ukhumbula uGriggs. “Sasingenakukwazi ukufumana nanye kwezo projekthi zinkulu ngelo xesha.”
ITrinity imise iiprojekthi ezinkulu ezixabisa i-$8 yezigidi ngexesha lobunzima kwaye yanciphisa ukulingana kwayo kwe-401(k), kodwa eyona nto imbi kakhulu, uGriggs uthi, yayikukuphoxa abasebenzi. ITrinity isebenza njengolawulo oluvulekileyo, yabelana ngeengxelo zemali zenyanga nabasebenzi kwaye yabelana nabo ngenzuzo kwiminyaka emihle.
“Ndineentloni zokuma phambi kwabasebenzi bam xa besebenza nzima kwaye kufuneka ndithi, ‘Madoda, asenzi nzuzo yaneleyo,’” utshilo uGriggs.
Ishishini lesinyithi laseMelika lithi ingxaki yayikukugqithisa, kwaye kunjalo, kukusebenza ngokugqithisileyo eTshayina. I-Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ibala ukuba iifektri zehlabathi zinokwenza iitoni ezingama-561 ezigidi ngaphezulu kunokuba abasebenzisi bentsimbi bekufuna, kwaye uninzi lwaloo mali ingaphezulu lwenziwe xa iTshayina yaphinda kabini amandla ayo okwenza isinyithi phakathi kowama-2006 nowama-2015.
UGriggs uthe wayengakhathazeki kangako ngemiba yorhwebo ngaphambili, kodwa xa ukugcwala kwentsimbi yangaphandle kwaqala ukonakalisa ishishini lakhe, wagqiba ekubeni alwe. UTrinity wajoyina iqela labavelisi beepayipi abafaka izikhalazo zorhwebo nxamnye neTshayina kunye namanye amazwe amahlanu.
Ngo-Epreli, iSebe lezoRhwebo lagweba ukuba abathumeli beepayipi ezinkulu zaseTshayina bafanele bahlawule irhafu yesohlwayo ye-337%. Labeka nerhafu kwiipayipi ezivela eKhanada, eGrisi, eIndiya, eMzantsi Korea naseTurkey.
Ezo rhafu, ukongeza kwirhafu ye-25% eyabekwa nguTrump kunyaka ophelileyo kwiintsimbi ezininzi ezingeniswe kwamanye amazwe, ziguqule izinto kubavelisi abanjengoTrinity. “Sikwindawo engcono kakhulu endiyibonileyo kwiminyaka elishumi,” utshilo uGriggs.
Olu luhlu lwerhafu luza neendleko kuqoqosho lwaseMelika ngokubanzi. Olunye uphando, olwenziwe ziingcali zezoqoqosho ezivela kwiNew York Federal Reserve Bank, kwiYunivesithi yasePrinceton nakwiYunivesithi yaseColumbia, luqikelela ukuba uluhlu lwerhafu lukaTrump lubangela ukuba abathengi kunye namashishini bahlawule i-$3 yeebhiliyoni ngenyanga kwirhafu eyongezelelweyo kunye ne-$1.4 yeebhiliyoni ngenyanga ekulahlekelweni kokusebenza kakuhle.
Nangona kunjalo, uGriggs uthi urhulumente kufuneka akhusele abavelisi baseMelika kukhuphiswano olungenabulungisa noluxhaswa ngemali. Kwakukho amaxesha apho wayezibuza ukuba unengqondo ephilileyo ngokutyala imali eyi-10 yezigidi zeerandi ukuvula isityalo saseSt. Charles ngo-2007 kunye nezinye izigidi ukuze sandiswe ukususela ngoko.
Uthi, ukukwazi ukunikezela ngeetshekhi ezinkulu zokwabelana ngenzuzo ekupheleni konyaka kuya kwenza konke kube luncedo.
