This is not particular to Trump, but he definitely is the most guilty as of right now- people who run around yelling they are a job creator. It’s bullshit.
This isn’t 1840 where you hire a bunch of unskilled people and send them out in the woods with an axe and they chop down trees. And even then, who built the fucking axe? Who surveyed the land? Financed your purchase of it? Etc.
Creating jobs in the modern economy is not a solo effort, it, to borrow a phrase, takes a village. There has to be a great deal of infrastructure in place to “create” jobs. There have to be educated and skilled workers, which we all pay for and raise. Those workers have to have a place to live. Those workers have to have places to eat. Medical care. There have to be roads and plumbing and an electrical grid. There have to be financiers to pay for capital outlays and construction. There has to be a form of government to regulate and enforce a legal structure and the market. There has to be a stable currency. And on and on and on.
And on and on an on. So while I am not shitting on entrepreneurs, it needs to be pointed out that your not exactly the lone fucking ranger when you “create” a job.
FFS.
