Got it
Correct:
Trump is not shutting down a Hotel in the U.S. and moving it to another country. Or Moving its Corporate HQ outside the U.S. to avoid the US corporate tax rate which is around 35%. Of course US Companies acquire Non US Companies, operate them as Subsidiaries, to have access to non US customers and those markets.
That is a lot different than Carrier Air Condition moving its plant to Mexico after shutting down in the U.S. to mfg AC units to sell them back in the U.S. Market. Same with Nabisco or Ford building its plant in Mexico. IS Ford setting up that Plant as a Non US subsidiary etc. that primarily sells products back to the U.S., or is it there to have access to Mexican customers. Big difference.
You would think this writers at Forbes would be a little better than this. Outsourcing is when a US company moves operations outside the U.S. but those operations provide services back to U.S. customers. How many call centers to handle quality issues on U.S. products are set up outside the U.S., rather than hiring fellow Americans to work those jobs.
Trump investing in a hotel and Golf Course in Scotland at Royal Toon is not outsourcing. Buying a hotel in outside the U.S. is not outsourcing. The only way that Hotel can provide service to me is if I go there, etc.
Good grief, and I bet these writers at Forbes have Ivy league educations!
