>>Guess what? If you don’t own it, you have zero right to dictate where anyone produces anything.
You are absolutely right.
>>Comrade Bernie would be very proud of you.
Comrade Bernie is also very proud of Carrier. They just put 1400 families who were self-supporting through their own labor on unemployment. They will probably cause several of those families to fracture, which will put quite a few “single” moms on welfare, and teach children than welfare is more reliable than work.
How many socialists did Carrier create over time for a business decision that wasn’t about saving the company from bankruptcy? It was just about making more profit.
Yes, the business has the right, and even the obligation to its shareholders, to do what Carrier did. But, none of those shareholders have the right to complain about America’s shift towards socialism, because they helped to do it.
Bernie hates Carrier and all businesses. He’s an idiotic commie moron.
The vacuous little dope actually thinks that Americans have too many choices of deodorants. That’s the level of sophistication of what passes for his economic “thinking.”
And, no, Carrier didn’t put 1400 people on unemployment. At any given time there are over 5 million open jobs in the US. See the DoL JOLTS (Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey) numbers. Now, that’s a lot less than would exist if we didn’t have jug-ears in the White House, but this economy has survived even his idiocy.
Most of the laid-off with a brain will be employed elsewhere in short order. In any case, no job, absent an employment contract comes with any guarantee of longevity.
It ain’t Carrier’s job to worry about anything else other than maximizing their bottom line by making products people want to buy at the lowest possible cost. They do anything else and they will end up in bankruptcy, the opinions of do-gooders and hand-wringers notwithstanding.
And I and everyone else, including Carrier shareholders can complain all we want about the stupidity of people who think socialism is a good idea, layoffs by Carrier or anyone else notwithstanding.
