Just because they added 5000 jobs in 2015 doesn't mean it is the same 5000 jobs. That was 2 years ago, why would it take them 2 years? I spent money at Best Buy in 2015 and I plan to again in 2017, doesn't mean it is the same purchase. The article actually says "The service will expand to Chicago and Miami on April 20 and throughout the nation as the year progresses." Not in 2017. |

Winning! Enjoy your more expensive phones and phone service.
It’s easy to see why SoftBank and Sprint might want to help Mr. Trump take credit for creating jobs. SoftBank’s chief executive, Masayoshi Son, wants the Department of Justice’s antitrust division and the Federal Communications Commission to allow a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile. In 2014 regulators appointed by President Obama made clear to Mr. Son that they would not approve such a transaction because it would cut the number of national wireless companies to three, from four, greatly reducing competition in a concentrated industry. Mr. Son sees a new opening for his deal in Mr. Trump, who has surrounded himself with people who have sided with large telecommunications companies in regulatory debates and have argued against tough antitrust enforcement.
This is crony capitalism, with potentially devastating consequences. If Mr. Trump appoints people to the antitrust division and the F.C.C. who are willing to wave through a Sprint/T-Mobile merger, he will do lasting damage to the economy that far outweighs any benefit from 5,000 jobs, jobs that might have been created even without the merger. Individuals and businesses will find wireless service costs a lot more when they have only Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile/Sprint to choose from.

Not to be dooshy but I doubt any company is making any kind of decision of bringing back jobs to the US until any kind of legislation or whatever they're waiting for is in writing. It's all just PR for the moment.
Sure, i'll bring back jobs for a tax break....

Waiting for the Daily KOS article saying that Ford had planned on canning the Mexico plant since February. |

Because that's how you deal with a petulant narcissist
](NEWSER) – Ford may have found a successful strategy for dealing with Donald Trump: letting him take credit for stuff it was going to do anyway. The company's announcement Tuesday that it's canceling a $1.6 billion plant in Mexico was seen as a big victory for the president-elect, but a closer look at the company's plans suggests Trump didn't change anything, NBC News reports. Ford is still shifting small-car production to Mexico, now to an existing plant in Hermosillo, and the $700 million investment in a Flat Rock, Mich., plant announced Tuesday appears to have already been in the pipeline, with the plant building two models that were not expected to be built in Mexico
Ford CEO Mark Fields described the move as a "vote of confidence" in Trump's policies, though he said the same move would have been made if Trump hadn't been elected, Reuters reports
"Vote of confidence " = someone who knows he has to be diplomatic "

Macy's to cut 10,000 jobs. Not sure if that applies here, as they were already in America.

Maybe Trump can promise to put a tariff on every sale Amazon steals from a brick and mortar store and promise all those retail workers their jobs back |
