Here’s what i know. 1100 jobs still going to Mexico. Do you think Carrier agreed to keep 1000 here if there will be a 35% tariff imposed. My money said, Trump let it go.

Here are unFree people living in Communist hell hole but damn we gave them MFN so all is good. I guess Freedom needs to take a back seat to lung cancer.

No, I know what satism is. I think state-preserving is a new idea, perhaps you’re the author. We are not endanger of the state being preserved in the USA. We are, I think running the risk of flipping one gang of statists for another. I hope I am wrong.

“Dell closed a North Carolina plant in 2009 just five years after receiving millions in state tax incentives to open it. Production then moved to Mexico.”

So, Dell was not taxed as highly and employed people at this location for 5 years....and that is a BAD thing? I think Trump would continue incentives to avoid them from leaving at the 5 year mark.

Not sure of this author’s ability to think things through...

Companies move for dirt cheap labor. All this regulation tax talk is a dodge, a red herring.

Does everything have to be deemed nonsense that isn’t echoed by an echo chamber of thousands of pundits?

There is always risk in life; any principle can be carried into realms where it is harmful. Concern trolling for concern trolling sake does not behoove anyone, though.

The incentives would be different in a Trump vision. He would like to see less governmental load on such a company in general.

I don’t know how this can be concern-trolled unless the troll is a lefty.

Thanks for putting the picture in its proper context with your opinion. I might have thought the lady was stuck in fog or smog. Nope, she happens to fit your propaganda needs and purpose. Oh, but I am happy to say that you’re less nasty, vulgar, insulting and vile towards me in open forum than in the private messages you send. I guess that’s one good thing with you and your comments. Maybe here you feel some sense of a need not to be profane, irrational, mean spirited.

To be fair, exactly why Carrier reversed course is still something of a mystery.

This guy knows nothing about the details of the deal, but is somehow able to slam it anyway for being so bad for the country. Amazing how that works.

I’m sorry. I don’t understand your point.

But what’s the smog from?

Anyhow, it’s not all about just you.

At some point I cease trying, knowing that others do get it, even though it is a reply to you.

Pollution, I suppose.

Most things are certainly not just about me.

Okay, I guess it’s good that others get your reply. I wonder how you know that they do....but it’s all good.

Because it makes sense and because you have a demonstrated lacuna in your vision.

The lacuna occurs because I and, possibly others, miss your point?

Now YOU are the one beginning to presume on the others. That’s a lacuna for you.

If you are a U.S. company you produce from the U.S.-period.

So, according to this jackass...


He’s just a Trump hater having a tantrum. No rationality at all.
