10/28/17: As one might expect, Trump tweets any good news he can. Yes, it’s true. The economy grew 3% in the third quarter of 2017. “Very little reporting about the GREAT GDP numbers announced yesterday,” he whines, “(3.0 despite the big hurricane hits). Best consecutive Q’s in years!”
Job creation is supposedly picking up. It is good now. It was good before Trump took office. Anyone who can click a link and read a chart from the Bureau of Labor Statistics can see that.
Charging up to $440 per hour for labor.
Know who’s really hiring? Whitefish Energy! They just landed a $300 million contract to do hurricane repair work in Puerto Rico. That means they need a few electricians, mechanics, linesmen and lineswomen and helicopter pilots. Right now, Whitefish has only two full-time workers. The company does, however, have a close connection with Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke.

Whitefish CEO Andy Techmanski, says critics are on a "witch hunt." (Where have we heard that before?) |
A copy of the contract online (not yet verified), indicates the no-bid
deal calls for Whitefish to charge $188.07 to $440 for hourly labor, which I’m
sure we can all agree is a bargain for an island whose electric grid is in
desperate need of repair. We can also assume it didn’t hurt that a financial
backer of this two-person company was a major donor to the Trump campaign. (See: 10/29/17.)
