The Trump Effect? After Carrier pledge to keep jobs in US, more companies may follow
Not even sworn in yet and having positive effect in the country and perhaps even abroad.
It seems as if he is channeling a little bit of Howard Roark perhaps?
Not saying he is an Objectivist or even knows what Objectivism is. It just seems like he has a natural (perhaps cultivated) feel for it.

So . . . what you said.
We just beat the hell out of you!

No, me dino don't know what those YouTube subtitles are about.
From the--cough!--first one she had.
men for leaving the country; but if he recognizes
their legitimate grievances (in time), we may be
able to pull back from collapse. (Remember "We
have no demands to make and no terms to bargain about"? Atlas Shrugged).
I quite concur. The POTUS (or " ...Elect") should confer with these companies if necessary, only to discover their reasons for leaving. If relief is needed in order to stay it should be made universal; otherwise it is still crony capitalism. "Special deals" should be verboten!
Respectfully,
O.A.
None of that is crony capitalism.
Its not sustainable unless we automate more in the USA, OR cut wages here to match the productivity of the rest of the world.
I didn't mean I would actually fall for a government trap like that. I should have been clearer in what I wrote
You should be afraid of Trump, but more frightening for the future is the large number of followers who mindlessly supported the 'man on the white horse' without regard for principles, not to oppose Clinton when in the primaries there were other candidates, but for what Trump is.
"'Mr. Thompson will put an end to those sinister forces whose purpose is to keep us in terror and despair. He will bring light into the darkness of the world and will show us the way out of our tragic problems—a stern way, as befits the gravity of this hour, but a way of glory, as granted by the rebirth of light'... 'Have faith! Listen to Mr. Thompson!' said voices in churches. 'Mr. Thompson will give you the answer!'"
The “mindless support of the 'man on the white horse' without regard for principles” was easily exceeded by the “mindless support of the 'woman in the pantsuit' without regard for principles.” Her more fervent supporters racked up far more incidents of actual bullying than Trump’s, and this included her campaign sending people to disrupt his rallies, with her supporters forcing cancellation of at least one and possibly more. Trump’s “bullying” was verbal and most of it was directed at the mainstream media and the establishment candidates, who were engaged in bullying and underhanded tactics of their own. Theirs’ was simply more subtle.
I agree that “Clinton and her radical collectivist-statist agenda had to go,” but she likely would have prevailed over a more polite and politically correct Republican opponent.

All I got was a diatribe based on allegations of what might be in the deal. This is why it is so difficult to judge Trump. It seems that he has pissed off every one with a pencil and they have scribbled every distortion of his every move they can imagine. If I were he I would be asking companies why they were leaving and asking that they wait a while to see if I could create a better climate for business. The list of stupid anti-business regulations, taxes and laws is a long one and there are bound to be some that are causes for leaving. There is no need to threaten or payoff anyone until we have eliminated these self destructive acts.
If we don't know first hand the details of what is in Trump's 'deal', Carrier doesn't know either. Government threats and 'offers' always leave insinuations for the future implicit but clear in principle -- it's like calling a "protection racket" protection, when everyone knows what it is without the 'offer' having to spell out the details. What is clear about the Trump/Pence 'deal' is that it is intentionally anti-free market government 'good cop - bad cop' bribes and intimidation. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/12/01/...
I made a Freudian slip on the reference but at least I never cite the New York Times. Ha. Ha.
But if I put up two columns, one titled Wins and another titled Losses, the Trump's Win column would be ahead, so far. All I can do is stand on the sidelines and cheer him on.
"Hey, hey, wadda ya say?
You go get 'em Donald J."
We told you so! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V_w-...
The other part is that routes of import and export present a military security problem.
He said nothing about Carrier being a security problem, only "jobs". Nor has anyone else explained how Carrier's operation under attack by Trump is a security problem. The subsidiary of UT that makes jet engines is Pratt & Whitney.
