In response to a dumb OP, it was said:
Did we - did YOU - talk about management when the subject was Carrier, for which Trump was praised and the one after that? The two were moving things out of country. Carrier was bought off with the kind of crony deal used by many now-Trump-supporters to attack Obama at the time; lean on Pence, get some nice tax treatment for Carrier, carrier keeps 1,000 out of 2,000 jobs in the country. But let's not talk about the failure of Trump & Co. & supporters to discuss management's mistakes.
I see this:
:kissass
That's not to defend this thread. This thread sucks. Obviously, Trump's decision to undertake a state government deal with Carrier via Pence was not universally binding on Trump as to Corporations. In other words, the one (two? Xth?) deals do not establish a requirement to make deals with all businesses wishing one. That doesn't stop them from being crony capitalism, that thing hated between 2008 and 2016. But we were barely here then, so I am not talking about you personally - unless you elsewhere thought/posted/etc that Obama cronyism was bad.
I am not familiar with the goings on of that company, so I have no comment.
