I think Trump needs to raise the issue, a lot more than he has thus far.

I think everyone is sold out to China, and Trump really, really, really needs to support American jobs.

I understand North Korea is important, but not worth stopping doing anything on our terrible global trade balance. Especially with China.

Trump, this is important.

Re: Amazon employees always get a “competitive” wage.

That's true.

Unfortunately, 90% of the workers at the fulfillment center will be employed by a temp agency.

Amazon runs the same scam everywhere. They advertise as “Temp-to-Hire.”

The temp agency pays slightly above minimum wage, they imply you will become an Amazon employee within six months, but that always depends on “economic conditions.”

In reality, only elite super-producers get Amazon jobs.

Everyone else stays at minimum wage until they get fired, or quit in pure disgust.

By the way - 52.4% of Fresno County is Hispanic, and the county votes 75% Democrat.

I use Amazon all the time, but I hate Jeff Bezos.

He is a very evil man.

I have friends that work for the company. One retired 0-6 friend of mine lasted 2 months and promptly quit.

He said it was the worst organization to work for that he had ever been associated with.

Screw Amazon. I used to love them, but after their lawsuit against the proposed temporary immigration ban from six Muslim countries and the continual jihad the Bezos-owned Washington Post has been conducting against Trump and normal America, I haven’t spent a penny there in four months. I was spending around $1500 a year there before their turn to the dark side.

I wish more conservatives would start boycotting them. (Full disclosure: still have Amazon Prime for the wife, though.)

“Those funds would not come from the general fund, but the increased property taxes of the developed property, known as tax increment.”

The money would be going to the general fund but for this diversion. The purpose of this TIF is to compete with another location that just did not offer a better deal. The politicans will say it is for job development etc.
