you're a loving idiot if you think alibaba is going to grow their labor force in the USA by 2800% when in the preceding 4 years they've only gone from 20k to 35k

like that doesn't even make sense what would all those people even be doing even Amazon only employs like 350k

Alibaba is gonna have 3x the employees Amazon does? yea fuckin right lmao

It’s like saying Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +0.27%   , Etsy Inc. ETSY, -1.03% and eBay Inc.EBAY, -0.97% have all created millions, if not billions, of jobs through their respective marketplaces that connect third-party sellers to buyers. Sure, they’re all platforms connecting sellers and buyers, which are necessary tools in a modern economy in which even tiny merchants wish to reach potential customers across the globe. But their actual full-time, with-benefits workforces are much tinier. Alibaba has fewer than 36,500 global employees despite notching in as one of the most valuable Chinese companies, with a market capitalization of $230 billion, according to FactSet. Amazon has 230,800 employees, while eBay has 11,600 and Etsy has fewer than 1,000.

like look at how little they give a gently caress about you dude look at how LITTLE they give a gently caress about you

infrastructure is what will generate the most jobs and economic side benefits and it is a major pillar of Trump's campaign. it has BIPARTISAN support allegedly, at least there are a good number of Dems that would vote for it.


LAST ON THE loving AGENDA after giving insurance companies tax breaks and that wasn't regressive enough so now they are moving on to tax "reform" which is just tax breaks for rich people lol and maybe a VAT because gently caress you. All of the EOs issued so far benefit corporations, and large ones at that. No help for the small business owner.

the thing that benefits you the most is LAST on the agenda if it ever even happens

look at how little they give a gently caress about you why do you love them so much

25% of republicans voted for that bill. 25% of democrats voting against it. The dems should have voted for it and they should be thrown the gently caress out for not voting for it, but the republicans can literally pass the bill at any moment they want.

$40k isn't enough to live on for a year in many parts of the country, coincidentally the parts where the cost of living is much higher (cities) have some of the shittiest schools. The median household income in the USA is $56k and yet over half of Americans don't even half $400 saved so that should tell you something.


Are we looking at the same numbers? Either way this proves nothing other than the most lucrative fields are still overwhelmingly male dominated.




And it's not sexist to state "smart and talented people are attracted to fields and careers that pay more." That's just how it is in our capitalist society. The fact that those fields are also male dominated is also an issue but let's not pretend like all careers are equally available for all sexes and women just so happen to be going into education more than men do.

You're a clown. The "smart" "talented" people going to make the big bucks in Biotech or whatever wouldn't make better teachers than the people who go into teaching.
