... President Donald Trump told Fox News in an interview that aired Tuesday night the United States doesn't have talented workers to fill jobs needed domestically ...

Yet, pres Trump continues to assault and tries to destroy those very educational institutions that can create those talented workers.

We have the talent. Business don't want to pay Americans American wages. America first only goes so far.

All this blither-blather about US labor problems coming from a geriatric pedophile who hired young girls like chattel to be masseuses at his golf resorts and walks away from unpaid bills.

One AI snapshot:

"The Trumpf junta is accused of owing American businesses "hundreds of millions of dollars in unpaid bills" for work already completed, particularly related to the dismantling of the USAID. Several cities across the US have reported unpaid bills from Trumpf campaign rallies, including St. Cloud MN and Lebanon, OH, where bills for security and public safety services remain unpaid."

CORIOLANUS

The job of the presidency, with the assistance of a wishy-washy U.S. Supreme Court, does have its perks which Trump has accelerated with his sense of overblown entitlements.

Until cities and contractors, as you mentioned, cease to be flattered by the attention, they're going to continue getting reamed up the you-know-what. It's up to them. However, scant few have figured it out.

Hi TwinPac: Steve Bannon and Felon Musk were feuding about this very point about needing educated people from overseas in the US workforce. Dummkopf Trumpf has spent his whole life screwing over laborers and contractors, but as you pointed out: "However, scant few have figured it out." Indeed. And didn't Trumpf announce an exorbitant fee for H1-B visas?

The Republican sheeple will continue following their Judas Goat right into the slaughterhouse while listening to his bleating.

Definitely has nothing to do with the billionaire donors abusing the lowest rungs of the H-1B system so they don't have to hire US college students.

"You can't take people off an unemployment line and say, I'm going to put you into a factory where we're going to make missiles.'"

Hmmm. Trying to remember what my employment status was, before I got hired by the defense contractor that worked on missiles...

Anyway I mostly think Trump is right.
Most Americans are pathetically stupid.

You would think that revelation would prompt the "ruling class" to do more to better educate American children. But no. The greedy bastards would prefer to have other countries spend the money to educate its children and then pilfer the educated from those countries.

Republicans have been personally sabotaging public education across this nation.

They prefer the poorly educated and are doing everything they can to make sure poor Americans are as poorly educated as they can be.

So, that's why he initiated $100,000 fees for H1B visas and sent talent from overseas scrambling back where they came from.

Oh, and made the U.S. a less desirable place to study and do research.

Winning!

Because the USA hasn't figured out a way of paying for its capitalistic ideals without using slavery... at worst ... or paying "slave wages" at best.

I'm old enough to remember when many companies trained their own workers, instead of counting on the government to do it. If there aren't people qualified to do these jobs, why aren't the companies helping to school the potential employees?

Because those trained workers will take their newly-acquired skill set elsewhere for more pay when the opportunity arises. To an employer who didn't sink that money into training and therefore have extra funds to poach employees from the employer who has less money to pay higher wages, since they paid for the training instead.

"President Xi was willing to do the railroad things"that's magnets. Now, nobody knows what a magnet is. If you don't have a magnet, you don't have a car. You don't make a computer, you don't make, er, televisions and radios and all the other things"you don't make anything. It's a 30-year effort to monopolize a very important thing. Now, in two years, we'll have magnets, all the magnets we want. Because of tariffs, listen I called, I said you're going to play the magnet, we're going to play the tariff on you." - Donald Trump

That statement really inspires confidence in him. By that I mean confidence that he has no clue WTF he's talking about.

Trump may not have talented people to fill jobs, but he'll always have 1Nut to obfuscate for him.

For crafts and technician type workers, most companies have an agreement they have to sign stating if they take the training they must stay for an agreed upon time or pay the cost of the training back- prorated costs that is in relation to how long the employee stayed before quitting.

Yes. More info at this site:

Lawsuit Investigation:Employee Training Repayment Agreements
This Alert Affects:
People who have signed employment contracts requiring them to pay back training costs if they quit or are fired within a certain period of time.

What's Going On?
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org believe certain training repayment agreements could violate a federal law that prohibits forced labor. They're looking into whether class action lawsuits can be filed on behalf of workers.

So, as Trump sees it, Americano workers are lacking talent and just aren't up to it. Hmmmmmmm ...

Perhaps he could salvage his misadministration from terminal mega-mediocrity by hiring a new, improved Cabinet filled with folks bearing the same credentials as his wife: a H-1B visa.

I don't care what the law suit says.. If I pay in the excess of $6000 USD to send one of my young techs for two weeks of training and all expenses, plus rental car and regular pay, I'm going to need a commitment of at least a year. That employee doesn't have to take the offer - it's not required. If I required it, I wouldn't hold that employee responsible for repayment should they choose to leave.

Our in-house training was always done on weekends and was voluntary. The training was free for the taking but you didn't get paid for it.

The answer to all this ended up being that the local junior college began a 2 year course that covered all the basics of our industry so the company required the 2 year degree as a condition of hiring.

Re 31

It's easy to see why you can't get talented help.

Being a skilled and talented (former) hiring manager myself I know for a fact that talented people don't like working for ICEholes like you.

Reading your drivel, you've never said anything in such a manner that indicates you've ever been a Manager, or detailed in any industry that would led me to believe you're anything more than a barista in the redwoods.

Reading Lefty on this thread you can see he adds details about offerings and incentives, reasoning, he sounds truthful in a way you just aren't.

So who would I want as my manager, I'd take the ICEHole over you. Just because he sounds competent in this thread.

To conclude, its funny "Doc" agrees with Trump, but doesn't understand just how poorly "Docs" preferred policies have led to this situation.
Personally I hope he remains ignorant of how to fix this problem, better for me. worse for LeftHanded.

Sounds nice.

#36 | Posted by Zed at 2025-11-14 11:27 AM

"I'd take the ICEHole over you."

Of course you would. Because you too are a farging ICEhole.

No worries. You would have never been hired by me or anyone in my agency. There is no way you would be qualified or talented enough to do the work I did.

And of course you are a commie spy. So you'd just take what you have learned here back to the Motherland anyway. As you have already promised you will do.

#31 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Only posted it to show there are potential downsides to employers paying to train their employees. Both in terms of retaining them after the training and in terms of expecting servitude in return.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure the current SCOTUS will throw the lawsuit out anyway.
