Companies will invest in employees with the tax cuts
It is the first time Berkshire has bought back stock since 2012. The decision, announced in a quarterly filing Saturday, illustrates the scarcity of attractively priced projects and deals that can satiate yield-hungry investors and firms more than nine years into a bull market.
A legendary value investor best known for striking deals when prices are low, Mr. Buffett has struggled to find large investments that aren’t overvalued. Berkshire hasn’t made a major acquisition since it bought Precision Castparts Corp. for about $32 billion in 2016.

Unemployment is never getting much below 3%. These 3% of Americans are unemployable.
Who gives a fuck if these companies buy back stock? It’s their money. This brings us back to the 3%. If 3% of Americans can’t even hold a broom, how can these companies invest in bigger workforces? What else are they going to spend their money on? Before you say, they should raise wages let me ask you this. Why would companies raise wages if competitors aren’t? Unless they can take quality workers from other conpanies, higher wages provide nothing for the company.

Obama reads a mean teleprompter, an important skill to the uninformed, but he was a shitty president on so many levels, particularly on the economy and foreign policy. Most anemic "recovery" from a recession in 80 years and he managed to completely destabilize the middle east while nuclearizing Iran. Thanks Obama. Add to that, less than 1% growth near the end of his term. I like the "new new norm" a lot better. Sanctions on Iran, more job openings than unemployed and "impossible" growth rates. -

It's not that 3% are unemployable it's that 3% is essentially "structural" unemployment and we are considered at "full employment". Of course we add fewer jobs when we are essentially at full employment. What's been amazing about Trump is the number of people who weren't counted(under Obama) that have returned to the workforce though.greenblood said:Unemployment is never getting much below 3%.

"noun: structural unemployment
unemployment resulting from industrial reorganization, typically due to technological change, rather than fluctuations in supply or demand." -
