Jobs promised to be brought from Taiwan to the USA in 2016 election: 30,000.
Number of people employed in the USA as of late-2020: 281.
How many other jobs did the current administration promise and fail to deliver on?
Ye gads. Reading through that article... it's like the ultimate in apathy.
Part of the big promise was autonomous vehicles for the workers to commute.
Instead, they got POS golf carts that not even the rent-a-cops want to bother with.
At any rate, I could tell you right off the bat that promising something like a single plant that will employ 30,000 workers is absurd. Within about five minutes of searching, I found that Tesla's Fremont plant in California is the largest fabrication plant in the USA, and ranked among the top ten largest in the world, so this is nothing to scoff at.
How many people does the plant employ?
About 10,000.
And these people were promising a manufacturing plant that would employ 30,000. Just to make LCDs.
I've said it in my fiction writing, but it applies in real life as well: It doesn't matter how thin you slice it, it's still bologna.
