Interested to see how long it takes Trump to take credit

[QUOTE=Shadow801;51688802]Interested to see how long it takes Trump to take credit[/QUOTE] Like it or not, he's already having huge influence on jobs in the US.

[QUOTE=Shadow801;51688910]Please show me proof above jobs would not of been created if Trump was not president- oh wait president-elect[/QUOTE] Well for one thing, these things didn't happen while Obama was president-elect. Jobs didn't just magically appear when people realized he won the election. And if it is Obama creating the jobs, he could have easily created all of them while he was president but he choose to wait until the person he was rooting for didn't win the president election, instead opting to create all these jobs just as he was leaving. What a madman.

President's don't create jobs.

Edit: Ahem [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobs_created_during_U.S._presidential_terms#/media/File:Total_private_industries_employment.png[/url] Note how Obama saved you guys from a global recession. And created new jobs from that. Trump is surfing on Obama's hard work.

[QUOTE=Ziks;51688949]Wait hang on, are you claiming Trump is responsible for these Tesla jobs becoming available?[/QUOTE] Until Trump won, Tesla had nothing in mind for its billion dollar investment in this gigafactory. Only when Trump ascended to presidenthood did Elon Musk get the idea to actually make people work in this factory, creating things called "products" - don't think this would've happened under Obama (woops Obama's still president, but then it's probably because Trump is the president-elect of course).

Construction of the Gigafactory began in 2014. It's only now getting into production recently. It won't be finished for some time. When it's done it will employ something like 6000 planned jobs. (as in planned when they started building it) These motor packs were either going to be made there, or at the main factory in California(where they make the rest of the Model X and S motors). No matter what, these jobs would've come around. Trump has nothing to do with this.

[QUOTE=Ziks;51688949]Wait hang on, are you claiming Trump is responsible for these Tesla jobs becoming available?[/QUOTE] Plus if you read up on this subject, it's extremely unlikely that Trump had any impact on whether or not the jobs would be created; Elon Musk has been talking about production in the US earlier this year. Details have been slow coming, but there has been indications before the official announcement (before the electon) that this was coming.

Not to mention, the US added 157,000 jobs in December. 204,000 in November, 135,000 in October, and 208,000 in September. Trumps bragged about a few thousand car jobs so far? (that were already planned)

whats with all these seemingly new trump shills? do shitposting rules not apply or are they getting benefit of the doubt based on the fact that they bait so well we just dont know? like kiko you cant possibly believe half the stuff you post.

Serbia is under Russia's influence. Nationalistic spirits are running high in the Western Balkans right now. I'm actually not surprised at all to see someone post something so idiotic.

That's kind of cool, but kind of odd at the same time. Lithium batteries and copper winding equipment usually don't use the same kinds of machines. I guess Tesla wants and all in one type set up to reduce logistics costs? (Also that just gave me an awful image of metal scavengers tearing apart people's wheel wells to get at the electric motor for the copper.)

[QUOTE=RG4ORDR;51689320]Giving people a fair voice regardless of their opinion. Even if it's against your own, wrong,right,etc everyone is entitled to voicing it.[/QUOTE] Of course. I never said anything against that though - I'm talking about baiting and threadshitting. People can have their opinion and voice it free of concern until they start derailing threads with intentionally ridiculous bullshit. He's even been banned for it before iirc.
