Hello...wake up and smell the coffee...

Carrier, Ford, GM, Alibaba, Apple, and many others have already announced they will invest in American manufacturing over Mexico or other cheap labor countries.

And Trump is not even inaugurated yet. Nothing personal
at all against you, but Trump has probably done million times bigger deals with foreign countries than most of us here, so I prefer to believe him over naysayers.

No offense, but let's look at the numbers after all of these companies allegedly "invest in American manufacturing" before we decide that we know what the impact is going to be.

I have personal/professional knowledge of one of those deals you've mentioned, and it's really a lot of B.S. at the end of the day. The company will be investing in a new plant and hiring X new people, while shutting down other locations that will result in the loss of 2X jobs. It's a restructuring more than anything else.
