if you're arguing that's what's happening here you're just plain wrong

...the company invested hundreds of billions and expects to produce some 8500 jobs. That's a bit more than the 300 skilled laborers that the company required which they presumably couldn't find here in the U,S., certainly not in Savannah Georgia.

How do we expect to have next generation plants without enough workers with the expertise to run them? And here you present this dilemma as Hyundai's problem when this and other next generation vehicle plants can locate anywhere in the world. They don't have to locate here, and probably should take their multi-billions where it's appreciated and leave Georgia and America to rot.

here's Trump talking about getting South Koreans to train people here to do the jobs he just vacated. Lol. What an absolute con.

REPORTER: Do you have plans to go to Japan and South Korea this fall? (Repeats himself so Trump understands)

TRUMP: Maybe, we’ll see. I mean it’s gonna be very interesting what comes out - I think we may have learned something… because when they come here, and there’s nobody that can do what they’re supposed to be doing and they bring people, those people can teach our people, ya know it’s complicated stuff. And uh — something very interesting could come outta that.


...when your president is fucking putting people in chains because your own countryfolk can't staff hi-tech positions, maybe it's not the company that's investing $350 billion in America that should be bearing the cost (or blame) for that U.S. failure to provide skilled workers.
