Mexican official: Carrier will ‘suffer’ by keeping jobs in US
The Hill ^ | November 30, 2016 | By Mark Hensch

Posted on 12/01/2016 12:34:01 AM PST by Brad from Tennessee

A Mexican lawmaker says Carrier’s deal with President-elect Donald Trump keeping about 1,000 manufacturing jobs in the U.S. will only hurt the air conditioning giant.

“The implications are very serious, not only for Nuevo Leon, but for Carrier,” Sen. Marcella Guerra said Wednesday of Carrier’s decision and its impact on her state, according to The Associated Press.

“The one who is going to suffer from this is the company…because their products are going to be more expensive. I understand the fight, because it is same fight all we politicians carry out.”

Trump’s team and Carrier announced late Tuesday they had reached an agreement to halt nearly 1,000 jobs in Indiana from leaving for Mexico. Carrier previously announced in March it would shutter a plant in Indianapolis, effectively eliminating 1,400 U.S. jobs. . .

We can add to that a technology tax. They’re using our technology to manufacture. USA taxpayers funded NASA and r& d grants to develop the technology.

Obama was making us comply now to certain environmental standards and giving China 30 years.

i hope you didn’t have a Camaro or Firebird between 1992 and 2015. If you did you had yourself a foreign built car.

Mexico lost 1000 American jobs and manufacturing capacity.

America kept those jobs and capacity. Who is actually better off?

Probably not. The jobs that they are now keeping in Indiana are heavily subsidized by tax incentives. The people they were going to lay off in Indiana they will lay off elsewhere because they have to keep their promise to reduce labor costs. And Trump likes them. It's a win-win-win for Carrier and its parent, United Technologies.

China knows as Trump does that the country that has the factories has the technology, wealth ,production capability and power.

The industrial revolution is what gave us our living standards and civilization.

China had been deindustrializing the USA.China was sending us back to the Stone Age

Trump knows that a key to making America great again is to reindustrialize the USA. Trump has started with carries, Ford ,Appe etc.

Now with Trump I have great hope for the future .My next air conditioning unit will be a carrier , MY next car or Truck will be a Ford, my next smartphone will be an iphone. Thank you Carrier and Thank you Mr Trump for making America great Again! Long Live President Trump!

Obama to Trump: ‘What magic wand do you have?’

“Well, how exactly are you going to do that? What exactly are you going to do? There’s no answer to it,” Obama said.
“He just says, ‘Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well, what, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.”

He’s already created more jobs than Obama this year and isn’t even sworn in yet!!! He IS the magic wand!

Had a heat pump when I lived in Williamsburg Va. My bill all year was equal to one nasty February here in NYS.

Alas...they don't work well this far north.

“…because their products are going to be more expensive.” Not after we reduce corporate income tax rates from 35 to 15 percent (or lower)...

I wish Carrier would make free-standing portable room air-con units that have a heat pump (working similarly to motel room units). I have to buy a foreign unit to get that. I would sure buy a Carrier.

We had such a wonderful winter here in Upstate NY last year. (Never thought I'd say that)

But we've already set a record for nasty this year.

Glad I'm retired. The cupboards and freezer are filled to the brim.

Just have to be diligent about starting the car everyday.

I agree, build the wall.
However, it won’t be long if not already happening
the Cartel will use drones to get drugs over the wall.

I don’t know if they make a true portable system, but they do make ductless mini-split systems, which are room or zone systems that are very economical to operate:

We are not talking about higher prices to the consumer. Carrier wasn’t going to lower the retail cost of their home AC units “Hecho En Mexico”. This move was to increase their profit margins for their international stockholders.
