A Trump win? Ford to keep plant in US.

And by "A Trump win," I mean "An American worker win."
Great minds think alike, we must of been posting at the exact same time.
Saw something yesterday that hinted at Iphones possibly being manufactured in the US.
Perhaps as a condition to repatriating their money from overseas?
We also just made the largest oil field discovery in US history in Texas.

interesting this is touted as news and a "discovery"
if this story was bread there would be nothing but green and white dust in the bag even the mold would have dried out
I'm on board with repatriation at a very low rate, say 5%. With that 5% remarks towards refurbishing dilapidated schools and providing learning equipment and infrastructure to those same schools. Incentivizing fundraising efforts to go toward endowments for poor schools by matching dollar-for-dollar up to a certain threshold. And lastly, working with companies to make the US Labor Market more attractive.... if you still have any leverage left from that repatriation, definitely have American jobs > foreign jobs as a condition.
He sure is. There's no way they make that discovery public knowledge if Hillary was elected. 0bama would just make land grabs and call it off limits because climate change.
May I direct you to Rdclad's post:

Ford builds the Lincoln MKC small SUV at its Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky alongside the Ford Escape SUV. Ford had never said it was considering shifting MKC production south of the border. But the company confirmed Friday that it had been “likely” to move the work to Mexico in 2019 when its current contract with the United Auto Workers union expires.
“We had planned to move the Lincoln MKC out of Louisville Assembly Plant," probably to the Cuautitlan factory in Mexico, Christin Baker, a Ford spokeswoman, said in an e-mail.
Trump has criticized Ford for planning to move all its North American small-car production to Mexico, where wages are 80 percent lower than in the U.S. Ford also builds the Lincoln MKZ sedan at a factory in Hermosillo, Mexico. During the campaign, Trump threatened to slap Ford’s Mexican-built cars with a 35 percent tariff. He also said he would terminate the North American Free Trade Agreement, which lets goods flow between Mexico, the U.S. and Canada without tariffs.
Automaker ‘Encouraged’
Ford, which has expressed a willingness to work with Trump since he was elected, confirmed late Thursday it told the future president the Lincoln SUV will stay in Kentucky.
“We are encouraged that President-elect Trump and the new Congress will pursue policies that will improve U.S. competitiveness and make it possible to keep production of this vehicle here in the U.S.,” the automaker said in an e-mailed statement.

Speaking of green, Bloomberg valued the oil discovery at $900 Billion (and it comes a few days after Saudis warned us not to stop oil imports).
Lol

I'd like to see some money spent to refocus teachers on teaching the 3 R's and prohibit social engineering, politics, indoctrinating students with liberal tenets, union activities, or any of the crazy shit we see them regurgitating in the streets.
“Apple asked both Foxconn and Pegatron Corp., the two iPhone assemblers, in June to look into making iPhones in the U.S.,” a source said. “Foxconn complied, while Pegatron declined to formulate such a plan due to cost concerns.”
Just asked for plans and numbers, I think it's just in case there are tariffs or restrictions on a % of a product having to be sourced from USA.
Well, liberals are always right. Just look to the complete domination Hillary had of Trump in the election...
