Morphine Prince 110,005 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Well, let's hope he does create all those jobs. I'm curious about the details though. We can't fall for the trick of job creation when in the long run they will screw over the people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren’t promises of traditional labor-force “jobs” that many Americans dream of when they listen to Trump’s rhetoric on job creation... That’s like saying Amazon.com Inc., Etsy Inc., and eBay Inc. have all created millions, if not billions, of jobs through their respective marketplaces that connect third-party sellers to buyers." http://www.marketwatch.com/story/alibaba-promises-trump-1-million-jobs-but-dont-believe-it-2017-01-09 So much for those jobs you speak of Plus: "The U.S. has long been an area of heightened focus for Alibaba, particularly as its stock continues to trade 20% below an all-time high reached more than two years ago. In a Wall Street Journal opinion piece on June 15, 2015, a week before Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency, Ma said Alibaba was focusing on the U.S. market, and said helping U.S. brands connect to Chinese consumers would “create American jobs and increase U.S. exports.” Alibaba also specifically chose the U.S., rather than its home base of China, for its initial public offering. On Monday, with cameras capturing both Ma and Trump in the lobby of Trump Tower following their meeting, which they both referred to as “great,” Ma said he’s going to work with the incoming administration to support “1 million small businesses to sell” products in Southeast Asia. Despite referring to that 1-million figure as “U.S. jobs” in an Alibaba blog post, neither Ma nor Trump elaborated on whether any of these would be full-time corporate jobs stationed in the U.S., or whether they’d simply be part of the third-party network of sellers on Alibaba’s e-commerce sites, many of whom likely also sell products on other e-commerce sites, such as Amazon and eBay. An Alibaba spokesperson later confirmed to MarketWatch that these aren’t corporate jobs." So it looks to me like Trump is once again just claiming to have helped bring in jobs or is involved in creating jobs for Americans when in reality he has done nothing.... Alibaba has planned on investing in the U.S since before Trump announced his candidacy and such investments won't lead to many corporate jobs. What a surprise.

Can we also talk about how companies may start using Trump for publicity? "Oh, we're gonna create jobs!" "We're gonna HELP!" Corporate America can easily trick us into believing they want to help us when sometimes there are backroom deals that only benefit them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably what's gonna happen. It's a PR win win for Trump and the company. It's gonna have to be the democrats job, ya know because the media doesn't do their jobs, to expose them.

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have been to Alibaba website in the past. They are whole sellers. If you want to buy 100 tosters at $5 to sell at 20 in your store or website. That is what they do. The products are ALL foreign made. What happened to build here sell here. Is he going to select which conpanies he will impose higher taxes on? I thought he would be imppsing higher tariffs on all imported goods. This would hurt American manufacturers. Lol I haven't read this article. It sounds like a bunch of crap with a photo op for President elect Trump just like those 1,000 jobs in Indiana.
