I’m sure GE would find the views of the politicians in Mexico City more to their liking.
GE is famous as a major stockholder in the Obama Administration.
Governor Cuomo was making a big pitch for them to move across the border to Westchester county. This would be quite convenient, because the executives and staff would not have to physically move.
But it is a sad day when New York is the low-cost alternative in the tristate area.
Exactly. This is not a black eye for Texas.
I will buy nothing from GE because I do not agree with their views on anything.
There has been talk about them coming here to ATL.
I would be pleasantly surprised if our Senators have spoken out against the Ex-Im bank.
Typical idiots running corporations today: No concern for profit, only petty personal politics.
GE can KMA
I believe the need for a global headquarters is more about the CEO’s ego than an actual need of the company. With digital communications there’s hardly even a need for many employees to leave their homes. Think of how much money would be saved if companies did away with the status building downtown in some nice, but hard to commute to and expensive to live in city.
That aside, what they’re telling me is that their socialism instincts are not where I want to invest my money.
Texas can get along just fine without this corrupt corporation which refuses ( for all its resources and advantages) to compete in the marketplace without American taxpayer guarantees
Good!
Tell them that Detroit, Baltimore and Chicago are the perfect places for their kind of tax evading corporate headquarters.
Maybe Baltimore or Detroit would be a better fit.
I’m sure that their stockholders are just delighted with this piece of LiboCrite BullSH*T???
We don’t need them spreading their poison in Texas.
What reports (rumors ?) is his reporter reporting on?
“Neither Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings nor officials from General Electric would confirm on Friday reports that General Electric Co. had decided against relocating its global headquarters to the city because of Texas politicians’ opposition to the Export-Import Bank. “
I dumped my GE holdings 20 years ago.
The current CEO has Obama knee pads.
California was once the Golden State that business flocked to. It was conservative and pro business. But then people like Nancy Pelosi came here and other like her from states like Maryland and Connecticut.
Texas, Do you really want all these headquarter people from Connecticut?
Full disclosure, I have been a GE employee for 30 years.
GE is a multi-national corporation that has no loyalty to the USA by definition. They do what is best for GE. If that includes things that are bad for the USA or individual states, they don’t care. Whatever maximizes profits is what they will do. Nothing else matters. They are the epitome of the ruthless robber baron corporation.
It wasn’t always this way, but that is what they have become. I don’t even buy any of their products anymore.
