Jobs

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Not sure if this had a proper place elsewhere to put it, but I have noticed a couple of these lately and there's been no threads on the board about them. So here's one of the few positive threads on this board after a wave of apocalyptic anti-Trump circle jerking.


Sharp, $7b:

Intel, $7b/3,000 jobs in AZ:

Apparently the Sharp thing is part of a $150b/700,000 job thing over the next decade from Japanese investments, which will include infrastructure investments and upgrades. Building some high speed trains, and increasing US exports of natural gas to Asia.

So there we go, some nice things that don't involve burning/shooting/racism/protesting.
