The article I read indicated the move to Mexico would have generated $65M a year in savings but they are staying because of a tax break for $700,000 a year, that doesn't even make remote sense. Besides the fact that Carrier previously turned down the offer. But the big question is if Carrier remains competitive with Trane who already relocated to Mexico, or is Trump going to impose a 35% tariff on Trane to make sure Carrier stays in business.
Carrier doesn't need to worry about whether it will stay in business. Its parent company is BIG LEAGUE.
What Carrier gets out of the deal, more than anything, is a seat at the table and an opportunity to craft public policy. That outweighs the potential savings in labor costs it would have realized by moving operations to Mexico.
So you haven't even managed to get your facts straight. And you haven't offered any evidence to disprove the assertion that "some jobs just aren't coming back." As I noted before, there are still over 1,000 jobs moving to Mexico.
OBAMA TO EX-CARRIER EMPLOYEE: SOME JOBS ‘ARE JUST NOT GOING TO COME BACK’
This is the same dismissive attitude that won Trump the office. Will you ever learn?
Learn to kiss people's butts? No, I will not learn that. My guy Gary Johnson did to win (surprise), so I will say whatever I please about Trump.
Besides, stating the facts should do harm to anyone. He wants to increase regulations, and until he is sworn in all he can do is symbolic things like the Carrier thing. Why should that offend you, or anyone?

If you want to win you have to come up with someone that will do things like this while not doing the stupid things I can see Trump doing later
Win what? Picking one company and cutting a special deal with them might sound nice, but it's symbolic, and certainly not policy since it benefits only one division of one company. Obama did that with the auto industry saving 1.5 million jobs, and he was attacked for picking winners and losers. You can't have it both ways without coming across as a hypocrite.
Well yes there is always something you can do to save jobs but it comes at a cost. All we really know is that carrier got a tax break from the state of Indiana. But it does raise other question as to why they would forgo millions, it doesn't add up unless....
People will want the details but the facts are, people want jobs right now far more than details, for good or for bad, and they do not want to hear someone dismissing their concerns.

I don't want any president threatening a company, that is not what our country is about.
I disagree. Recall, Candidate Obama did this very same things as Candidate Obama. He simply forgot about it as President Obama. An easy one I agreed with and I bet you do also is he said that no company would get a government contract unless they paid a certain wage (above minimum wage).

I imagine it was the threat of losing government contracts. They should if they are going to take the jobs elsewhere.
He did not identify himself as a Carrier employee or an ex-Carrier employee and the article you linked to has nothing to support that he was a current or former Carrier employee. This is all it says.

OBAMA: "But for those folks who have lost their job right now because a plant went down the Mexico, that isn’t going to make you feel better. And so what we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back, and when somebody says, like the person you just mentioned who I’m not going to advertise for, that he’s going to bring all these jobs back, well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do?"
No wonder so many people fall for fake news. I would say it's a safe bet that some of you are currently wrapped up in pyramid schemes.

"He wants, he wants, he wants"........I'm not interested in this stuff until "he does".

I wasn't there, you weren't there. I do not know the guy, you do not know the guy. I posted what I read in many sources.
Bernie Sanders attacks Trump for his Carrier job saving

President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly announce a deal with United Technologies, the corporation that owns Carrier, that keeps less than 1,000 of the 2100 jobs in America that were previously scheduled to be transferred to Mexico. Let’s be clear: It is not good enough to save some of these jobs. Trump made a promise that he would save all of these jobs, and we cannot rest until an ironclad contract is signed to ensure that all of these workers are able to continue working in Indiana without having their pay or benefits slashed.
This is the guy that supported Clinton who proudly ran on a platform of putting mine workers on welfare? He's got the nerve to criticize Trump for "only" saving one thousand jobs before he was even sworn in?
With one fell swoop, he just confirmed that America dodged a bullet by not electing him.
