Carrier cutting 630 jobs afterall - 6/10/2017 9:52:52 PM

Even before he took the oath of office, President Donald Trump was hailed for striking a deal with Carrier — a heating and refrigerating company based in Indiana — to save "close to 1,000" jobs that were on the chopping block.

Yet nearly six months later, Carrier is only saving a fraction of those jobs.

The company filed notice Monday night that it will lay off around 630 workers starting July 20 and lasting through the end of the year, far more than the 400 workers the company said it would let go as part of the deal, a local Indiana Fox affiliate reported.

Carrier is laying off the workers despite making a deal that earned the company more than $7 million in tax breaks and other incentives over the next decade, according to USA Today.

Trump received ample praise for the deal — including by reporters on cable news, who called the deal a "coup" for the then-president-elect.

Shortly after announcing it, however, Chuck Jones, president of the steelworkers union that represents the Carrier employees, said Trump "lied his ass off" when announcing the deal.

"Trump and Pence, they pulled a dog and pony show on the numbers," Jones told the Washington Post after the deal was announced.

Others, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), criticized the deal — calling it a dangerous precedent in an op-ed in the Washington Post:

"Instead of a damn tax, the company will be rewarded with a damn tax cut," Sanders said in a statement when the deal was announced. "In essence, United Technologies took Trump hostage and won. And that should send a shock wave of fear through all workers across the country. Trump has endangered the jobs of workers who were previously safe in the United States. Why? Because he has signaled to every corporation in America that they can threaten to offshore jobs in exchange for business-friendly tax benefits and incentives. Even corporations that weren't thinking of offshoring jobs will most probably be re-evaluating their stance this morning."

So far, Trump has yet to comment on Carrier's announcement.

Maybe he's learned, keep his mouth shut (no tweets either) on this one.

This probably won't receive even half the attention Trump's original announcement did.

Of course it won't. That's the whole point, isn't it?

He has a history of bankruptcy and lying and making false promises and false statements - anyway hes bringing millions and millions of jobs to the Americashire jackals economy, perhaps he forgot the prefix of minus

He will of course revoke the tax breaks?

You're quite giddy about that

The bigger picture however, is that despite your false narrative -

Economy emerges as bright spot for Trump

Trump has a history of trying to take credit for things that were already happening without him, and for exaggering things.

This is old news though -- that the Carrier jobs were bogus was reported at the time.

did you read the whole article or just the headline in another lame attempt to try and make your point?

from the article:

quote:

Given Trump’s anemic poll numbers, he has less leverage with Republicans, and Democrats have almost no reason to work with him, which raises questions about whether his agenda is going anywhere.


In addition the fact that the markets are up was the main focus of the article. The real indicators of a healthy economy are the GDP, consumer spending and personal income.

its more than AOL that has pointed it out, though we can be sure that no nutsucker slobberblogs have. Cant be doing that non-Fake News in those hard hitting putinjizz guzzling propaganda venues. Signed a 110 billion in deals with the Saudis (nope, not even close, although Il Douchovitch did try to suck the Saudi Kings cock)

Or he's still trying to figure out who he can blame for the mess? Not himself of course, not in a million years.
