Canadian Startup Uses Trump to Lure Tech Workers (siliconbeat.com)
An anonymous reader writes: A Canadian startup "is using Republican front-runner Donald Trump in its latest campaign to recruit tech talent," reports Silicon Beat. The company's site claims that 31% of Americans they'd surveyed would consider moving to Canada if Trump were elected President. "Now, while we don't think Americans will actually move en masse to Canada if the election doesn't go their way, we do want to extend an offer. Because it's the polite, Canadian thing to do." The Washington Post reported a surge in Google searches in March for "how can I move to Canada," actually slowing down the Canadian government's immigration web site.
Meanwhile, a coalition of Canadian mayors is visiting California this week to promote Canada's booming technology sector. Toronto's mayor told Bloomberg, "The embracing of diversity as opposed to it being some sort of political issue is a huge advantage we have."
You're lost deep inside a social bubble if you truly think that "the overwhelming majority of the tech community" is behind Trump.
I really don't think Trump will be as bad as people seem to think. That's not a terribly high barrier to cross, however. I don't think he's quite the monster that everyone wants to claim he is.
No, I'm not voting for Trump. I just don't think he's Hitler.
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
Funny how Canadians always leave out the part out about refusing single males entry when trumpeting this noble act.
And if he would have invested in Enron, it would have all been gone and he would have had nothing.
Also you assume he would not have touched the money at all. I a; sure that he had some expenses along the way. So no interest on interest. No food. No clothes, no food, no money for a hairdresser, nothing.
I am absolutely not a Trump fan (and even if I were, I can't vote for him) and I agree he is not the great businessman he thinks he is, but there is no reason to make up numbers that are not realistic.
If you do the calculations correct, it might still be that he is below average and that with correct numbers.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
This little nugget is false, but people love to repeat it. If it weren't for people like Trump there would be no S&P.
