Good move for Corning.
That said, America needs to re-establish trade relations with other countries.
We currently send millions of jobs overseas. They need to return to America.
That won’t happen piecemeal. A wholesale restructuring of our trade relations with the rest of the world, is long overdue.
Another wave of Trump’s magic wand
This is an example of jobs returning to the United States, Einstein.
Hey Benedict, your Free Traitor™ slip is showing.
I like President Trump talking about this though. He talks about it all the time, cheerleads companies all the time. He can do a lot to transform the culture by just doing this kind of thing.
What are you smoking?

Corning is in an absolutely stunningly beautiful part of the state.
Good for them to do it in NY of all places.
It must be a fascinating place to work.
i don't know if they'll build the plant here, he works in the research and development facility at Sullivan Park and it has a great view
I have Corning Ware in my kitchen right now that is almost 60 years old.
When we got married anything Corning was a MUST.
We visited their place, and also Steuben Glass, in the 70s on a family vacation.
I have a Steuben piece also,which belonged to my mother.
.
They would be silly to do it in NY with the tax structures...unless they can get the political machine to give them what they want in a deal of course...
I have Corelleware that’s pretty old as well and we got some Stueben glass from my M-i-l.
I’ve been to the Museum and it’s fantastic.
I agree but some companies still stay here.
Like Wegman’s and more power to them.
