Although I hope it's just a typical incentive structure that others could be privy to as well.
Should be an across the board deal, imo.

That being said, is this more of a function of Mike Pence--as the governor?
He should get a lot of credit for it, imo.

You're cool with 1300 jobs going to Mexico because that's part of the deal.

Better than 2300, isn't it. Or are you saying "frick THOSE 1,000 FAMILIES BECAUSE TRUMP'S A POOPY FACE"?
Posted on 12/1/16 at 6:52 pm to Vols&Shaft83
The number saved is 800 according to the WSJ. And I'm definitely not saying frick them. What I am saying is that maybe throwing parties and high-fiving about this deal is probably in poor taste since most of the people are still losing their jobs.

With the way TRUMP talked to the CEO of United Technologies today, all of the other CEO's thinking of moving facilities out of the country will certainly think twice. TRUMP was such a boss today at the presser.

I said through the whole election that everyone hating on trump was because they thought he was a "big meanie doo doo head"

It's 1100. And it's a good thing.

They were losing these jobs before this deal. I honestly would like to punch Bernie Sanders in his smug face for shitting on this deal.

If Bernie had negotiated a deal to save 2 jobs at the cost of $3B, he would have put out a self-canonizing hagiography.

800 were going to Mexico. 300 to North Carolina. 800 saved from leaving the USA

arse opposed to all of them? Seems like a win to me

exactly, the only reason this was done is because United Tech has a metric shite ton of government contracts.
Trumpkins are just not informed, they refuse to look past the Winning banner

So, since you're not a conservative, you have no issue with the agreement.

300 to North Carolina
That giant sucking sound coming from North Carolina.
It is intriguing though, is 1000 jobs moving from Small Town, Indiana to Mississippi any less devastating to that area vs. the same moving to Mexico?

Yes. And I shouldn't have to explain why

Unfortunately for you, you're going to have to. How is George Plutarski's life worse off if he loses his job to Jose-Jesus Guacamole compared to losing it to Jim Bob Cooterville?
Posted on 12/1/16 at 7:49 pm to buckeye_vol
Oh, absolutely! Since he was the Govornor when they announced they were leaving 1 1/2 years ago. For sure. Keep up the good work sport.

Hate to tell you this partner but tax incentives are how you create jobs
Why don't small businesses ever get these tax breaks? As a small business owner and life long conservative deals like this are complete B.S. My city(and cities across America) use tax incentives to attract large corporations, and the small business end up getting screwed. I'm all for keeping jobs in America, but there are better ways of doing it. We should all be against crony capitalism, and government interference in private business.

Hold up... Isn't Carrier still going to build units in Mexico and export to the U.S.?

1000 families were helped, good for Trump and his staff.
the backdoor deals and extortion that went on is not the precedent the administration needs to set when dealing with corporations. Trump basically extorted this company with threats to its defense contracts.
Yay Trump, very ethical.
