Sears in trouble, payless, penneys...

These companies claim they've been losing billions for years.
So when they collapse, who's fault is that.

Sears Warns of ‘Substantial Doubt’ About Company's Future

They're probably choosing now to collapse because Trump has declared war on the U.S. remaining competitive in the global market

The global strategies of our corporations have enabled them to compete effectively with Chinese, Japanese, German, and Korean manufacturers—all vigorous competitors striving to win share in global markets. At the same time, they have been profitable enough to reinvest substantial portions of their profits in research, innovation, and product development. When they do so, they stay ahead of their global competitors and increase their market shares. This positive cycle allows them to justify large capital investments in their facilities and provide substantial returns for their shareholders, as share prices for these global companies are at all-time highs.

Trump has learned how to reach the American people directly through his tweets, thus bypassing mainstream media. With his threats of large tariffs on imported goods, he has succeeded in forcing these giants to make uneconomic decisions—such as Carrier paying $25 per hour to its workers in Indiana to do work that can be done by Mexican employees for $2.50 per hour. However, in the long run, this will be a losing strategy for American workers if it forces Carrier to sell its air conditioners on the world market at non-competitive prices, or replace its production workers with robots, as Tesla (TSLA, -4.29%) has done in producing its electric cars. In either case, Carrier will be forced to reduce its Indiana workforce, with its workers ultimately becoming the losers.

The same logic applies to Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, and Toyota. Toyota has created 136,000 American jobs through direct employment, and has invested $21 billion in the U.S. What appear now to be significant “wins” for Trump may turn into pyrrhic victories, as America loses its competitive edge and hiring declines instead of increasing.

Trump has also repeatedly threatened to levy large tariffs on imports from Mexico and China. If he is serious about doing so, he will quickly learn that other countries can also play this game, and are quite willing to do so. This could trigger a trade war that will disadvantage American companies and their employees. Decades of progress in opening up foreign markets to American-made goods could quickly vanish.

Behind all of the threats and CEO responses lies a much deeper issue: the vital need for America to upgrade its workforce so that American employees can compete for jobs of the future. While there are 7.5 million unemployed Americans as of December 31, 2016, the irony is that there are 5.5 million jobs unfilled, many due to a lack of skilled workers. This situation will get worse in the years ahead as jobs become more complex and require more education and training. Filling these jobs with qualified Americans is essential for the competitiveness of U.S. companies.

Rather than jawboning companies to make uneconomic decisions, Trump and Congress should instead work with major employers to train and educate workers. Americans might even find a real strategy that emphasizes preparing for the jobs of the future vs. trying to save the jobs of the past.

Thank you for posting. Everyone, this is the 2017 GOP stance on the U.S.'s economic problems. TomParks should be thanked for having the balls to post what the alt-right is really thinking.

as usual, that makes no sense.

the stores were closing anyway, you agreed they would likely have done so under Hillary..

How would anyone have prevented it.

as far as not knowing how global economies work, should we add in Obama?

Seems those companies went downhill on his watch

Trump promised to punish American companies for making financial decisions that would make them the most profit. And you don't think that matters?!

Of course, b/c Hillary would have bailed them out with tax payer money.

Do you think Trump will do that?

Of course not. He doesn't have any stock in Sears, Penny's, or Payless after all.

**** no it doesn't matter you ******* retard. Carrier gets Mexicans to do the same job for $2.50, and suddenly America is as bad off in 30 years as Mexico is today.

Now please do the country a favor and **** off.

Try again please. That comment makes you look like somebody could probably be paid $2.50 an hour to do whatever it is you do.

They've been losing money hand over fist, closing stores coast to coast, but because Trump 'promised to punish them'....

You're becoming more and more of a joke daily
