By ALLEGRA KIRKLAND Published DECEMBER 28, 2016, 5:50 PM EDT
The President-elect claimed that he received a phone call on Wednesday afternoon from the head people at Sprint pledging to return off-shored jobs to U.S. soil.
Theyre taking them from other countries and bringing them back to the United States, Donald Trump told reporters gathered at the door of his south Florida Mar-a-Lago estate.
Trump credited the telecommunications companys decision to whats happening and the spirit and the hope. He also claimed that OneWeb, a new satellite-based Internet provider, will be hiring 3,000 people.
Sprint and OneWeb not yet verified these claims.

And he's taking credit for increased conusmer confidence, while CNN blames Obama for their disagreement and for standing up to Israel.

DRoseDARs
(6,810 posts)I got the sense that the article was written in a "Ugh, Trump opened his mouth again. Here's why what he said was bullshit..." writing style. It's unclear why the "Sprint and OneWeb not yet verified these claims." portion was removed, beyond the lack of a "have" in that sentence.

(18,868 posts)But they say they are creating a lot of these jobs not bringing them back from somewhere.
I will never use Sprint after reading that announcement.

And more, part of this is because the market has slowed in Japan:

And, the jobs (if they materialize) will be spread out over four years.

(6,344 posts)I had to look it up. Thanks for the new vocabulary.
AND, you are a good researcher. You have dug up some damning evidence.

(9,350 posts)These jobs seem to be part of the 50,000 jobs already announced.
The 5,000 jobs in Sprints plans are part of Sons overall 50,000-job commitment, though theyll be funded by Sprint and not SoftBank, the U.S. carrier said.
Trump also repeated an announcement earlier this month that OneWeb Ltd., a satellite startup backed by Sons SoftBank Group Corp., will create almost 3,000 jobs in Florida over the next four years.

(14,167 posts)I had to drop them after more than a decade as my cellular carrier because I had so many dropped calls and, later, lack of LTE or reliable data service.
I don't believe this at all. I believe these companies are kissing the ring and giving Trump some "kittens to save" in exchange for favors down the line (less regulation, maybe?).

(22,651 posts)Americas "for profit" prison stock shoots through the roof!
thousands of prison 'chain gangs' "work" for corps, sewing clothes, working fish farms, warehouse work, farms, customer service jobs, 100s of factory jobs and fight wildfires, work on pipelines.
With Republicans in full charge, USA will roll back to the 1950s.. chain gangs will work to death in the mines again.
Because our 13th amendment allows slavery of prisoners, Republicans take advantage of that and now more advantage of slave labor.
Republican baggers will line up to become the 2017 trump 'jobs' whip-crackers Massas foreman, like the old slave days.
