The US DOE gave Carrier a tax credit and that caused them to move to Mexico? Wait, what?
Nation Review = Cheap Labor Whores.
Makes no sense. The paid glowBULList corporate apologists are losing it.
He needs to add, getting America out of the UN.
I spec HVAC equipment and know many others in the business.
My friends and I let them know we won’t be sending UTC another dime in our business after this decision
What you don’t Mexican equipment? That’s racist! /sarc
Another one of these convoluted NRO article that leave you scratching you head.
I think it says, that the Carrier plant was doing poorly and probably ready to make the move, until the DOE gave them the tax credit that kept them in the USA. Entirely political so they wouldn’t have left the country prior to the 2012 election.
Another example of the crap that goes on, that Trump knows and understands.
Since corporations ain’t people, regardless of what Mitt Romney says, they are entities made up of and by people. Entities, whose only purpose is to generate profits for the shareholders (Owners). So United Technologies Corporation made as much profit as they could from the government(s), then moved to greener and cheaper pastures. Condemning them for making a (seemingly smart) business decision is as silly as condemning the boy king for being an immature socialist Son of a Bitch.
It is just his/it’s nature.
That says it all right there.
THERE IS NOTHING GOOD THAT CAME FROM THAT STIMULUS BILL. NOTHING. IT WAS A GIANT BOONDOGGLE OF WASTED TAXPAYER MONEY THAT WAS USED FOR EVERYTHING FROM PAYING FOR OPERATING FUNDS TO PAY FOR QUARTERLY HEALTH CARE PREMIUMS FOR TEACHERS UNIONS TO BUYING DODGE CHALLENGER POLICE CARS FOR LOCAL POLICE FORCES. THE ENTIRE STIMULUS AND RECOVERY ACT WAS A GIGANTIC SCAN.
Another Connecticut FAIL.
That's fine and when they do something which adversely affects the US it is in our(citizen) power to change their behavior. Voting matters. International stock holder with no allegiance to the USA don't get to vote in the USA. Deal with it. They can sell their shares if they don't like it. I have to live here.
Trump is making the anti American Cheap Labor Whores go bat sh!t crazy.
“What you don’t Mexican equipment? That’s racist! /sarc”
Well, I can’t imagine what they thought would happen. The guys in this business are American as hell.
I suppose there is a bright side- you’ll immediately know any contractor pushing UTC on you is crap
We have Free Traitor™ Freepers that tell me corps off shore because taxes are too high. Then they tell me tax credits are bad. These people are inscrutable.
United Technologies isn’t even an American Company. They are British.
Their centrifugal chillers are/were pretty good machines. We had three of the old R-11 machines that ran 30 years and were replaced when R-11 became too hard to get.
So you’re left with what, Trane and York?
