America great again: Carrier stays

Any word on what specific deal they got offered to stay?

From the earliest days of his campaign, Donald J. Trump made keeping manufacturing jobs in the United States his signature economic issue, and the decision by Carrier, the big air-conditioner company, to move 2,000 of them from Indiana to Mexico was a tailor-made talking point for him on the stump.

On Thursday, Mr. Trump and Mike Pence, Indiana’s governor and the vice-president elect, plan to appear at Carrier’s Indianapolis plant to announce they’ve struck a deal with the company to keep roughly half of the jobs in the state, according to officials with the transition team as well as Carrier.

You are trying to be positive about this and that is good, but there is more to that....

Carrier received about 7 million in State Tax Credit to keep 800 jobs while still loosing few thousand or so still to Mexico. Carrier also has a huge military contract for US government, so I am sure there will be free give me there too. So unless those 800 employees have salary of more than 1 million per person, I say that far better deal for Carrier than for the employees, and the rest of non-Carrier employees and the People of Indian just paid through their nose and arse for the deal that will only benefit Trump and Carrier Executives.

Now what is so strange about Indiana is that Mike Pence does not need to go through legislative branch to authorise this fund, so essentially he bypassed the state Senate to make this deal, which I have suspicion it was a done deal even before all of that started.

With Trump we always get more fake bling than actual good quality measurable substance. I guess this is what we wanted and this is what we got.

Prove it? Get real. Look at the news everyday obozo has been in the WH.

It started here and went downhill for 8 years.....
President Obama said that police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, "acted stupidly" in arresting a prominent black Harvard professor last week after a confrontation at the man's home.

"I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played," Obama said Wednesday night while taking questions after a White House news conference.
Obama: Police who arrested professor 'acted stupidly' - CNN.com

It continued with the Trayvon could have been his son bull****....the continuation of the Bush era policies on immigration and preventing the BP from doing their jobs.....lots of division and racism. And on and on and on....................wake up!

Attacks? Just my observation on what you said and your history of seemingly snarky comments.

Maybe this will be as well, with some superior products for the Pentagon.

Doesn't the Pentagon pay $500 for each toilet seat?

They are gold seats and can be melted down in case they have to flee and the banks are closed.

The Pentagon always has a Plan B. ;)
