So the whole Silicon Vally thing is just a big mistake and if only Apple would move to the middle of Nevada they would really take off since they wouldn't have to compete?

I asked a question of principal. I didnt suggest extortion.

Did they actually use the stimulus money?

I think I remember them saying they never claimed the awarded money. Is it confirmed one way or the other?

Municipalities often offer incentives, usually in the form of tax breaks, to entice businesses to locate within their jurisdiction. It's called economic development.

Carrier gets the tax breaks if they meet job growth production.

This all generates tax revenue for the state and local Municipality and puts money in the local economy.

Carrier moving to Mexico would have been a huge loss for them.

Carrier staying is a huge win. Carrier becoming more successful and more productive is a MASSIVE win.
