Carrier was not expanding, nor was their business new, and carrier already had the sweetheart deal you're referring to -before- they dipped into taxpayer coffers again. The taxpayer literally paid their wages to keep them there, and carrier isn't and never was going to keep them there. This thread is about carrier, not your business.
Scrotus used the employees as a prop, and bought good pr for himself. Carrier..for their part, would have been foolish not to take the money since it was being offered with no official strings attached (even though it would have been far more ethical and obviously cost the taxpayers far less if they had declined).
Please explain to me what about -this- entire situation wasn't a giant shitshow? For extra credit, tell me how it even remotely resembles a free market or conservative ideology? Is this what was meant, by making america great again? Do you support the notion of our government using taxpayer money to buy a single person good pr, or with our government handing out taxpayer money for a particular service without actually..you know..getting whatever it is they paid for in the least? Was this a good use of government funds, or of your fellow citizens? Is this representative of the dignity and sincerity of the office of the president of the united states? Should it be?
No amount of bitching about liberals will answer any of these questions. Who won here, who was this a win/win for?
