IBM, one of the nation’s largest technology employers, announced Monday that it plans to invest $150 billion in the United States over the next five years, adding that the company is “focused on American jobs and manufacturing.”
IBM revealed in a Monday press release that it “plans to invest $150 billion in America over the next five years to fuel the economy and to accelerate its role as the global leader in computing.”
“This includes an investment of more than $30 billion in research and development to advance and continue IBM’s American manufacturing of mainframe and quantum computers,” the company said.

I didn’t know IBM was still around.
Looks like they’re loaded with cash.
Just proof of the fact that globalist multinationals are not patriotic. It took a president willing to put them out of business to get them to invest in America and hire Americans. PHUCK IBM.
I’ll always detest Lotus Notes.
Jobs? Filled by H-1B visa holders?
IBM still makes stuff?
Our education system isn’t graduating people capable of do most jobs.
Suddenly just like that, manufacturing in the USA got profitable again.
Stop it. When the jobs come back more will major in STEM. No picks STEM now because of to many foreigners flooding the zone. You are mixing up cause and effect.
They were one of handful of advertisers for the Masters though you really rarely see IBM ads outside of it.
“Our education system isn’t graduating people capable of do most jobs.”
To some degree that is true.
the problem is everybody believing
they need a college degree.
Not all degrees are the same
I have a BS in Computer science.
I suspect not much of the population
can earn such a degree.
But everybody can get a BA degree
in some sort of “Studies” major and instantly
they are as “educated” as I am.
I went to private universities they have to
provide a good product or they don’t survive.
Public universities survive regardless of how
much or little value they add to society.
When you let politics rule your educational
system then it is doomed to fail.
American schools are guiding their students to concentrate on sports sports and more sports. Look at entire states where only 30% of students can read at grade level.
I think that sometime in early May, it will be time for a National Address.
The clean cut high school boy behind the auto parts counter was answering questions about a battery. I asked how long was the warranty and he read off the screen that is was 36 months. I asked him how many years that would cover.
He froze.
I waited while he channeled his educated brain to work out such a complex problem.
At last he declared it was more than two and a half years.
We are in deep trouble.
we have plenty of STEM-grads (students who aren’t concerned about protesting) who are sidelined by H1B holders who can barely speak English and live thousands of miles away...
was he a diversity hire by the store?
No,
They are in trouble.
In my day we were educated.
Today they are indoctrinated.
Boeing meanwhile has outsourced 700 admin jobs to India. It was Dell’s account.
And to drill down further, remember a couple of years ago in Baltimore, where many schools had exactly zero students at grade level.
In those schools, there was not a matter of a low percentage of students being at grade level. There were schools with zero students in the entire school at grade level.
Remember that study, “A Nation At Risk” during the Reagan era? I suspect a lot of the problems identified then are still with us.
That has nothing to do with STEM majors. They come from private schools, prestigious prep schools and high end magnet public schools.
