Or, ya know, right from Carrier themselves.

Tighten up.
That sentence wasn't past tense. The sentence before this one was, though. I'm talking about Trump reiterating promises to cut corporate tax rates and cut regulations, and assuming that he'll actually follow through with it.
You're honestly trying way too hard to make attacks out of everything.
You can't say it's nothing.
As near as I can see it there are three possible routes that they took
1. Significant tax breaks, meaning that Carrier is going to be passing on some of its tax burden on to the rest of us to save a thousand jobs.
2. Regulatory give aways. Unlikely as I can't see what they could cut that would be profitable enough
3. Promises of protection from Trump's future trade wars.
None of these look good for Americans as a whole, especially number 3.

This deal is still a net loss in jobs for the US....
Hillary probably would have saved all those jobs. Fuck me for voting Trump.
More Winning Please!
Winners make deals, and winners get rich, while losers just sit there and bitch.
sounds like an excellent deal. Most American jobs stay and they open a factory in Mexico which will concentrate of Mexican and Central American sales. I understand a significant number of Americans will work in the Mexican plant.
considering the Donald has yet to take office that is already good. Unlike Barry who bends over for everyone else. I thought he promised to shut Guantanamo Bay within 100 days of his presidency and it still remains open almost a decade later. Time for someone with a spine to take charge.
Furthermore, presidents striking deals on a company by company basis sets a bad precedent going forward. This is basically inviting companies to use the threat of firing people to get goodies out of an administration that has no real inventive to strike a hard bargain.
I'm not going to bother with the back patting until his 4 years are up. a handful of jobs and of course a pivot from one of his many, many bullshit promises doesn't leave me with a lot of hope that it'll be a net gain.
how is saving over a thousand jobs a net loss? that is a thousand people not on food stamps and welfare that is a thousand pay checks to help support the local economy a thousand pay checks that will be taxed by state and federal government
so explain in your twisted absurd liberal math how is that a loss
