Mindfulness: And how will the jobless developed country citizens be able to afford it, when they dont have jobs. If there are loopholes to ship jobs out all new industries too will also ship out their jobs Like Trump said, Ship out jobs all you want, but when you are bringing in your product to America you have to pay a 45% tax on it. So your goods wont have any price advantage over those who kept their jobs here 1 Like |

raumdeuter: How will they be able to make a living on low wages? Some Americans have two-three jobs and can barely make a living already. In some other developed countries, the labour markets have been deregulated in favour of business owners and in such a way that people despite having a full-time job rely on welfare. Additionally, it is interesting to note that unemployment affects unskilled workers the most in developed countries where the unemployment rate is relatively low. So instead of creating jobs that involve bad working conditions and pay so badly that people are barely able to make a living, it would be more useful to upgrade people's education and qualify them for other jobs that are available. Many business owners in developed countries complain about the lack of skilled employees. It is also wrong to assume that all companies want to run their business in developing countries. Outsourcing is done to cut costs but many business owners prefer a solid infrastructure in a stable economic and political climate. Moreover, many business owners depend on skilled professionals, which they are more likely to find in developed countries. If developed countries miss the opportunity to upgrade on people's education and skills, developing nations - if capable of catching up - will make the offer sooner or later. One of the future industries are robots. People will have to be trained to operate and maintain them. To think that you can bring back old industries by means of protectionism and isolationism is delusional. It has never worked and cannot work in a globalized world. Liek Trumo said, Ship out jobs all you want, but when you are bringing in your product you have to pay a 45% tax on it. So your goods wont have any price advantage over those who kept their jobs here Good, then those who think that his policies will serve them will have to put up with lower wages and bad working conditions just like the Indonesian workers whose lungs have been blackened by the smoke rising from the burning of gums used to manufacture Nike shoes. And consumers will have to buy less and if they buy less, the companies will have to produce less and will need fewer employees. The plan cannot work out but you never know with Donald. He is good for a surprise so we will see. |

Trump supporters do live in an alternative universe. “Trump has endangered the jobs of workers who were previously safe in the United States,” Sanders wrote. “Why? Because he has signaled to every corporation in America that they can threaten to offshore jobs in exchange for business-friendly tax benefits and incentives.”- Senator Sanders. There are some things some of you shouldn't defend.You only appear foolish and in theory very dumb. 3 Likes |

[size=28pt]Mexico disappointed at Carrier agreement to keep jobs in US[/size] MEXICO CITY (AP) — Officials in the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon expressed disappointment Wednesday at Carrier Corp.'s announcement it will keep hundreds of jobs in the United States rather than send them south of the border. Carrier said it had made a deal with President-elect Donald Trump to keep the jobs at its plant in Indiana. Carrier currently operates one plant in Nuevo Leon and has built but not yet occupied another one there as part of a planned $200 million expansion. "The implications are very serious, not only for Nuevo Leon, but for Carrier," Sen. Marcela Guerra said. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/30/the-associated-press-mexico-disappointed-at-carrier-agreement-to-keep-jobs-in-us.html 1 Like |

ValerianSteel: We shouldn't report one side of the news nah, let's balance things a bit, alright? Pennsylvania blocked Stein JUDGE THREW IT OUT OF COURT! As most people are still trying to figure out exactly what Jill Stein is doing and why she's doing it, a judge in Montgomery County Pennsylvania, just north of Philadelphia, has decided he's seen enough. After hearing arguments from attorneys representing Jill Stein's campaign and the Montgomery County Board of Elections, Judge Bernard A. Moore dismissed the petitions of voters in 78 precincts to recount votes or forensically analyze voting machines due a lack of evidence and improperly filed petitions. Per The Times Herald of Montgomery County: "What we keep going back to is that our voting machines are not connected to the internet," said board of elections Solicitor Nicole Forzato. "Montgomery County takes great, great pride in being concerned about its infrastructure for IT generally, and they have gone through a vigorous process to make sure our technology general, including voter services technology and the voting machines are safe and secure to use." MY COMMENT: As I said (after I figured it was too late) Jill Stein had to get over 25,000 petition signatures for the recount. In the end, it was harder to do than even I thought. Pennsylvania has an immune system. For that reason and more, they did not even hear her case, they just gave her the boot! Montgomery county has a population of 812,000 people. This was a MAJOR rejection! See: http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2016/11/30/judge-denies-stein-campaign-request-for-recount-in-montgomery-county/ AND THIS: Wisconsin hand recount formally rejected "Madison - Green Party candidate Jill Stein paid $3.5 million Tuesday to clear the way for Wisconsin's presidential vote recount but had a judge reject her lawsuit to require all Wisconsin counties to do the recount by hand. Dane County Circuit Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn said the effort to force the hand recount - which was backed by Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign - did not meet the state's legal standard for prohibiting the use of machines in the recount, saying that the two campaigns did not show a hand recount, though more thorough, was necessary or show there was a clear and convincing evidence of fraud or other problems. Bailey-Rihn said there were good reasons to do a hand recount but no legal basis for her to mandate it. http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/11/29/steins-recount-headed-court-tuesday/94598740/ My comment: HA HA HA! 1 Like |

obixcel: Honestly, it's the lamestream media who demonised Trump and painted a horrid picture of the man. People slag Trump for what they thought he said, the media chopped off the remainder of his sentence as it didn't fit their rhetoric / narrative. He said "We should stop allowing Muslim immigrants in, until we can verify who they are and where they come from" All he's calling for is a proper vetting system, the Wahhabi Muslims. the jihadists are the ones who are creating all the trouble in ME and it's spreading. All the 'puppets' the US placed in countries; Tunisia, Egypt, Iraq and Libya are / were Muslim Brotherhood pushing Sharia Law, which is why Egypt and Tunisia got rid ASAP. Quite a lot of what he said was taken out of context and people just didn't bother to research. The big threat to his health is: He's keeping jobs in America at the same time he's questioning vaccines at the same time he's attacking the social programming in schools and legitimizing home schooling, at the same time he's killing off the TPP, kicking out illegals, destroying obamacare, cleaning up American intelligence, taxing the rich, attacking the Federal Reserve, spelling doom for the media monopoly, issuing death threats to the EPA - an outright MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN FANTASY and the shadow government wants NONE OF IT. If Trump makes it, it will be only be with the blessings and breath of life from God, every last demon out there wants him DEAD Lucas keep bringing up Alzheimer in Trump's family as if he's an expert on genetics and VSteel keeps encouraging civil disobedience blatantly, stoking hate and calling for riots and I see that as a huge problem - they will stop at NOTHING to eliminate him.

Donald hired some very expensive lawyers to stop Michigan recount. For someone who believes there are illegal votes,he sure appears to not want those votes uncovered or maybe there's something we don't know. Also from Dane County,Wisconsin officials find presidential votes that counting machine missed on election night and some votes flagged for unknown reasons,some of them have been hand counted.Most of these votes are Clinton votes. Dane County is a democratic stronghold.Nothing too surprising to tip the result. |

stanech:The Kool Aid you are drinking is damaging your brain. This is what Obama met when he came in on January 20, 2009. Down Jones was 6,736 now 19,000+. Unemployment was 10% now is 4.9%. Uninsured Adults 18% now 8.9%. American cars sold 10.4 millions now over 20 millions.Deficit of the GDP was 9.8% now it's 2.5%. Consumer Deficit was 37.7% now 98.7%. S & P, Nasdaq and The other financial indexes are in record numbers. Clowns like you who knows nothing about the economic situations of a country you do not have input in will just throw out some right wing garbage. Obama is leaving trump with a very good and bumbling economy unlike the one George W left for Obama. Counter my points with your usual right wing racist garbage. 1 Like |
