If you remember that the point is to run out all the foreign owned businesses and buy up what they leave behind for cheap, it'll start to make more sense.
To be fair, lots of companies wanted to do business with the Nazis. Most businesses now don't have an issue with Trump being a fascist, but that it's unpredictable. That's bad for business.
Nazis are the perfect clientele in a sense. Extremely predictable, very forward and open about exactly what they want and given the power they will 100% make it happen.
So long as your business doesn't run counter to their desires it's perfect.
You know expect for the whole needing to throw away your morals, soul and ethics... But big business already does so...
Touche! I have observed that only tragically stupid people do like him, so I guess it stands to reason that he'd be more comfortable with those kinds of people.
The damage is already done. He got to stuff hundreds of Korean workers in one of his torture prisons while extorting the company and the country for their release. He's not backing off. He's pulling his fist back for another swing. Fucking headline journalists are too "TACO" pilled to see the next blow coming.
Trump didn't personally order this raid. He told ICE they were weapons free, here's your quota. Now that the predictable consequences are hitting, "Not like that!"
“I didn't shoot you with the gun I was brandishing in front of your face with the safety off while loudly threatening to shoot everyone around, it was an accident!”
Hyundai already announced a two to three month delay on this plant after this whole thing. They aren't walking away, but this isn't an event they are forgetting.
It won't matter what President comes after this one, this whole thing is going to influence investment from South Korea for some time.
If you were a foreign company considering investing a substantial amount of money to build a plant in the U.S., and then the unstable authoritarian dictator of that country pulls a stunt like this, you're going to reconsider putting any more capital at risk.
I've seen this plant, and it's massive. I don't know how close to completion they are, but billions have been spent. If they pull out they are going to take a hell of a loss. Hopefully that means they'll work to weaken Trump and the GOP in order to help their bottom line.
The actuarial calculation must be the billions more that will potentially be lost when exposing themselves to further harassment and extortion from Trump and his cronies versus the definite billions lost if they were to cancel everything now.
korea seems to suck up to the gop quite often, probably i wont hold your breath. because they build in exclusive red areas. The only change will come , if Korean citizens refuse to relocate to the USA for work.
An unstable authoritarian dictator who, as way of a supposed apology, has literally told you that he's going to do it again as soon as he's stolen your technology, with the stated intention of putting you and your whole country out of business.
Only reasonable course of action seems to write the factory down as a loss and never set foot in the USA again.
if i were korea, i would just cut my losses and build in another country, like mexico and canada. or build it in a blue states, but foreign companies love the lack of labor protections in red states
When Foreign Companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other 'things,' come into the United States with massive Investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land," the president posted on Truth Social, adding “I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize Investment into America by outside Countries or Companies. We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are willing to proudly say we will learn from them.”
He can't write anything. The stroke rendered his right hand unusable, and he's probably permanently loopy, more than usual. It's "Weekend at Bernie's: The White House Years."
trump, apologizing never. Like most right winger, they give a typical corporate apology, a non-apology or they deflect the attention on an percieved enemy.
To any foreign entities, companies, individuals who haven’t caught on to the obvious truth: You are not safe here, your investments are not secure here, any visas, treaties, contracts are all 100% revocable despite any perception that they are legally binding. Do not come here. Despite the fact that there are good and rational people fighting to change this, the hard fact is that we are flaming out, and there is no telling what destruction and chaos is coming.
Just look at the destruction and chaos we perpetrated around the world when our society was at its height and our population had the most accommodating economic conditions in history.
our society was at its height and our population had the most accommodating economic conditions in history
I think that's the thing the populace isn't feeling yet. It hasn't impacted their comfort enough for them personally, yet. I never understood the mindset people had that led to "first they came for...". I no longer have that naïveté, for I am seeing it unreeling in real time.
Well, yeah, the number of people even aware that this happened is probably small relative to the adult population, and the number of people aware enough to remember what you’re talking about if you asked them on the street is even smaller. Of course, there’s a lot of awful things of important magnitude happening at a faster pace than usual, so I can see how difficult it can be to keep track.
I should upvote because Drumpf has, in a very real sense, blood on his hands from his stochastic terrorism, mafioso fascist/rhetoric and policies; I should downote because political violence really doesn't make things better; and yet evil also triumphs when good people do nothing. What to do, what to do...
Will nothing rid us all of this turbulent turd? (Note "nothing", not 'no one')
Idk, I feel better with Kirk dead. Also, he can't keep spreading his hate to millions, so that's better too. Political violence doesn't always makes things better, but sometimes it does, and I think a lack of Trump would be a good thing.
They've been hearing for something for a while and if not Kirk it would be something else. I don't think that this will actually amount to much more than this weird nationalistic response to the death of a YouTuber.
They were clearly waiting for an excuse first which they've now manufactured after his death. You cannot tell me that it hasn't accelerated massively in the past 7 days.
You can disagree with me but don't call it a talking point.
I don't feel better. I'm not white and from now on I'm even more likely to get shot than before. I'm staying inside as much as possible (was already doing that before, now I feel even less wanting to go outside). I heard a US Citizen got yeeted off the streets by ICE while walking in a park. Hell nah, fuck that. I'm rather just watch tv shows in the dark silence of an empty room in my house.
I mean, I don't mourn any deaths, but I'm also not "happy" about it. Rather just have the Bernie wins 2016 Timeline. My head hurts ever time there's a new announcement from the dictator.
I'm not white and from now on I'm even more likely to get shot than before.
I'd argue that with him alive and continuing to spew his hate and calls for violence, that probability would have unfortunately continued to go up. It went up by a bigger margin with his death sure, but it wouldn't have stopped with him not being shot.
That being said, I do feel very bad for you and all those affected.
I mean... a traffic accident would've caused less problems than a gunshot wound...
I don't want anyone to die of a gunshot wound, too many ways for the media to spin it. Just anything else please. Falling on the pavement, choking on food, heart attack, like anything is better than getting shot. You can't bcecome a martyr if you weren't murdered.
Don't worry! In 20 years while we're still squabbling about climate change it will wipe the board clean! Then all will be steeped in squalor and helplessness!
Mother was a narcissist, not on Trump's level, but I've never known another person so eat up with NPD. Impossible to overstate that these people cannot understand personal responsibility for their actions. Their failures are always someones else's failures. They cannot fail.
I was well into my 40s before it occurred to me, mother never once admitted fault or said she was sorry. Sure, some people act like that, sometimes, but you can tell they have a sense of guilt, a sense of wrongdoing. Sure, we've all know people who misdirect blame. A true narcissist cannot feel those emotions, cannot be wrong.
Telling a lie is a falsehood you know is false. Trump has never lied. He believes every word that has ever come out of his mouth. It tears my brain apart every time he's accused of lying or bending the truth. Anyone having a hard time with the notion I just described is suffering cognitive dissonance. Have fun with that, he can't feel it. You can because you're sane.
Trump isn't playing games. He isn't a tactical or strategic genius. He's simply a wealthy narcissist who struck political gold. He got dumb luck, like some of us do, and ran with it.
He really has got porridge for brains. It amazes me he can manage simultaneous walking and talking.
Why on earth would foreign companies want to invest in the US right now? He is the one that's making it less likely, there was plenty of foreign investment in the US under previous administrations then this moron came along and ruined it all.
He chickened out again?
Pfft, a proper real man and leader would've gone down to that concentration camp and punched each one of those Koreans himself!!!
At this point, I wouldn’t blame any company that immediately ceased expansions in America and started to consider moving existing production facilities to adjacent countries, like Canada.
I watched a documentary today about Amanda Knox, an American who was accused of murder in Italy in 2007, apparently Trump wanted America to boycott Italy over that
before krasnov's trade war, two liters of olive oil a year and while we did not buy meat direct from italy our salame guy does buy direct from italy. we probably get a sassage a month from him. also our deli gets italian mortadella too and fuck i gotta go get a sandwich there tomorrow don't i.
Honest question: why were highly skilled Korean engineers working "illegally" in USA to begin with? Why didn't they go through the process to get a worker's visa or whatever?
Another honest question: why do we have a scumbag for president? Who the hell voted for him anyway?
why were highly skilled Korean engineers working "illegally" in USA to begin with?
Most of them say they had valid visas or work authorization.
The U.S. has a visa waiver program where people can come into the U.S. without a visa, and have certain rights similar to visa holders. Many of the South Korean workers have taken the position that the visas they had that allowed them to work for 6 months, or the visa waivers they had entitled them to do temporary work for less than 90 days, and that they were within those time windows.
The lawsuits being filed also allege that immigration officials acknowledged that many of the workers did have legal rights to work, but that they were deported anyway.
So no, I don't think it's been shown that the workers did anything illegal. It really sounds like ICE fucked up by following a random tip a little too credulously.
This. All articles I've read that have interviews with the deported people concur that they had work visas or visa waivers. They weren't in the US illegally because businesses that send employees overseas aren't that stupid. ICE targeting them is just the dumbest thing they could do, and treating them as ICE did is currently being investigated in South Korea for human rights violations. Seriously you should read their accounts of their captivity, it's horrific.
I really hope Hyandai and LG tell the US to get stuffed.
I'm sorry that you misinterpreted my tone and misinterpreted what I said. Let me be more clear: South Koreans are awesome and they did nothing wrong. Why do you think I'm blaming them? Did you also miss my second paragraph where I indicated my opinion that Donald Trump is an absolute douchebag?

Trump isn't playing games. He isn't a tactical or strategic genius. He's simply a wealthy narcissist who struck political gold. He got dumb luck, like some of us do, and ran with it.

Why on earth would foreign companies want to invest in the US right now? He is the one that's making it less likely, there was plenty of foreign investment in the US under previous administrations then this moron came along and ruined it all.

They need to start by removing the support structure from the building itself, they should not have a working facility when it is seized.

Honest question: why were highly skilled Korean engineers working "illegally" in USA to begin with? Why didn't they go through the process to get a worker's visa or whatever?
Another honest question: why do we have a scumbag for president? Who the hell voted for him anyway?
booly@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 338d
Most of them say they had valid visas or work authorization.
The U.S. has a visa waiver program where people can come into the U.S. without a visa, and have certain rights similar to visa holders. Many of the South Korean workers have taken the position that the visas they had that allowed them to work for 6 months, or the visa waivers they had entitled them to do temporary work for less than 90 days, and that they were within those time windows.
The lawsuits being filed also allege that immigration officials acknowledged that many of the workers did have legal rights to work, but that they were deported anyway.
So no, I don't think it's been shown that the workers did anything illegal. It really sounds like ICE fucked up by following a random tip a little too credulously.
dellish@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 338d
This. All articles I've read that have interviews with the deported people concur that they had work visas or visa waivers. They weren't in the US illegally because businesses that send employees overseas aren't that stupid. ICE targeting them is just the dumbest thing they could do, and treating them as ICE did is currently being investigated in South Korea for human rights violations. Seriously you should read their accounts of their captivity, it's horrific.
I really hope Hyandai and LG tell the US to get stuffed.

I'm sorry that you misinterpreted my tone and misinterpreted what I said. Let me be more clear: South Koreans are awesome and they did nothing wrong. Why do you think I'm blaming them? Did you also miss my second paragraph where I indicated my opinion that Donald Trump is an absolute douchebag?
