“The chief executives of Apple Inc, Walmart Inc, IBM Corp and other major companies are joining a Trump administration advisory board that hopes to prepare U.S. workers to deal with job training issues and the workforce shift brought by artificial intelligence and automation, the U.S. Commerce Department said on Wednesday,” David Shepardson reports for Reuters.
“”President Donald Trump signed an executive order in July creating the 25-member board, co-chaired by adviser Ivanka Trump and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, to address workforce issues including ‘automation, and artificial intelligence that is shaping many industries,'” Shepardson reports. “Other chief executives joining the board are those of Lockheed Martin Corp, Siemens USA, Home Depot Inc and Visa Inc.”
“Ivanka Trump said in a statement the administration wants ‘all Americans to have the skills and opportunities to secure good paying jobs and successfully navigate technological disruptions and the rapidly changing nature of work,'” Shepardson reports. “Also joining are the chief executives of the Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers, as well as the governors of Iowa and Indiana.”

MacDailyNews Take: Good luck, Tim, and to all involved!
Let the investigation into Tim Cook’S past begin. There must be ties to white supremacy, Russia, tainted milk, something. We’ll find it.
Yep, let’s look at his yearbook! 🙂
@thelonious
Almost made me spit my coffee out, lol.
Cook was a Democrat and now he’s apparently Trumps boy. This guy is all over the place.
regardless of the poly-ticks, for whomever he is appointed to blahblahblah, [please can we skip the partisanship on this thread?] I wish he’d just stick to running, tuning and guiding Apple.
Because labor is excluded from Dumb’s National Council for the American Worker, it should be renamed to the “National Council for the American Slave.” This shenanigan stacked with corporate types can be likened to Dem. Obama’s health care committee stacked with pro-health insurance industry types such as Dem. Pelosi and Dem. Baucus and excluded any spokespeople from the National Single Payer leadership, you know, people who actually need pre-paid doctor’s care.
Who speaks for the common Man!
yo T-mac, thanks for the video. Went over to crank it up on the big screen in 5.1. Nice pics, and as always, inspiring musical composition. Thanks – it made my morning.
Very efficient way to show how nationalism and narrow minded walls are insignificant faced to the immensity of the Universe.
And while you at it, let’s revisit H1-B abuse and IBM’s age discrimination
I hope this won’t prevent Timmie from focussing on the important stuff, like keeping Apple devices up to date with the latest emojis.
President Trump never stops working for the American worker! How refreshing after so many years where only lip service was paid by politicians while policies that hollowed out the middle class continued to be implemented. History will not be kind to the likes of Barack Hussein Obama.
Utter delusion. Yeah, he shut down government over his manufactured crisis. It’s not even close to the first time he didn’t pay workers.
When you say that history will not be kind to the likes of bareback obummer is that cause you plan to wipe out the libtards in your country like you are wiping out the population of Iraq?
Might be a good reelection platform, Make America Genocidal Always.
Oh and congratulations on Trump announcing that there was no weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq.
“President Bush had intel people that said Saddam Hussein, in Iraq, had nuclear weapons –had all sorts of weapons of mass destruction. Guess what? Those intel people didn’t know what the hell they were doing, and they got us tied up in a war that we should have never been in.”
So I guess the shrub is making history as the first modern day leader to totally get away with genocide. We can start forgetting about Hitler just as soon as you get the numbers in Iraq up, but don’t worry, I hear that the first million or so innocent victims of genocide take the longest.
Way to go Tim Cook, I’m sure that Trump will bring the same level of success to the American Worker advisory board as he did to his business advisory council.
And as Valentine’s day is a holiday of love I guess it’s a day of mourning or something in Apple’s home country but Happy Valentine’s day for those that do celebrate it and know or remember the value of love.
F2T2 (aka the former Iraqi propaganda minister)
Can you please crawl back into your hole?
Are you among these people ready to follow a human failure?
Are you standing for the American workers, or for those who are making billions on the back of workingpoors?
Apparently, Trump also had to be a canker in history (his dad may have bought him a good grade – like other branches, to get his degrees?). Like the Great Wall of China, and many others, this kind of obstacle even more to the implosion of empires. Isolationism has proved its destructive effectiveness… but, bah! Trump believes in his megalomania, and thinks it will be different this time. Letting him do it might be the most radical way to get rid of the crowd of fools who follow him in his delusion!
20% of the time on a golf course. you’re proud of that?
Shaddup, applecynicwanka. Your opinions are about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike, and an Obumma in office. Why arent you an Androidcynic, Or is that too simple for your simple brain to handle?
He’s going down.

Except Trump Laundromats
Tim- make sure you’re sprayed and disinfected every time you leave being in the same room with him.
Deloused!
