Google has evolved into much more than what Baidu has and dominates global market share in many aspect: Android is 75% of market share in China btw. I never claimed China doesn't innovate, just that America has been the leading innovator.
I was just pointing out how incorrect you previous statements were:

As demonstrated, your statements are more than just inaccurate, but completely false. In fact, it was Google who stole innovation from Baidu's own Robin Li. However, perhaps, in a nobel manner as Larry Page didn't try to hide the fact.
I have nothing against Google, btw. I've spent a good portion of my career employed there. It's a great company.
Carrier is doing it to maximize profitability, Isn't that the point of Capitalism? They have no obligation to their employees other that what's required in their contracts or by law. There's nothing from stopping these 1400 future deadbeats from moving to Mexico if they want to retain their jobs.
I wonder why they think these people are going to work hard when they know their jobs are moving to Mexico?
Well, what do you want? These are the American capitalists whom conservatives defend, doing what one does in capitalism... maximize profit. If the little people lose jobs in the process, isn't it every man for himself? I thought that was the mantra of capitalism that we all defend so much.
I believe they should be way more smarter to move production facility to El Paso or Laredo first, then move partial production to Mexico. Finally, leave 10% or 20% work here in the U.S to carry "Made in USA" label..
I didn't realize President Obama was CEO, CFO or on the board of Carrier or if he had any say so in the dealings of American corporations. But thanks regardless, for the right wing nut website you posted.
Since 2008 the Obama cabal has added over 18,000 pages to the Code of Federal Regulations. It is estimated that complying with federal regulations costs the economy nearly $2 Trillion per year and is, along with taxes and innumerable mandates, one of the principle reasons for the lack of new business start-ups and loss of jobs to other countries.
Apple’s $649 iPhone 6 Reportedly Costs $200 to Make
That is 200 dollars including labor and they sell it back to Americans and the shareholders and execs make big bank. A glance at Apple Stocks since they moved to China shows all there is to see.
With Carrier, they will charge the same price, sell us low quality crap, and the shareholders and execs will make bigger bucks.
They made profits, but more is always better when you can sell out your country
Here's United Technologies financials for 2014 for Carrier. I suppose this is the most recent report available.
7% year-over-year increase in profits of $2.8 Billion for $16.8 Billions in net sales for their "UTC Climate, Controls & Security" division. See page 19 of that report for more information.
I guess that's just not enough profit and growth for Wall Street.
You forgot India, C. Eurasia, MENA and then Africa...
The suffering will be monumental for Americans. The rest of the world will not even realize anything happened while they're enjoy cold beverages and automatic clothes washing machines.
