Actually, there's a third choice. Indiana has a 4.4% unemployment rate. How about the employees laid off from Carrier get jobs with businesses that can make an acceptable profit operating in Indiana without taxpayer subsidies? Lots of businesses in the state failed or had to lay off employees last year. Why didn't the state jump in to subsidize them? Why Carrier?

I read you are still butt hurt over Carrier and Indiana working out an agreement to keep a plant in Indiana. What you have ignored from the 'get - go' is, government using we the people (as we are government) to tax and regulate a business out of business. Taxation is NOT a compact, it is big daddy using the force of law to control business and people. Then the layer upon layers of 'regulations' spewed out of these control freaks from upon high, are for the purpose to harm/control one aspect of the business world while benefiting a favored business.

Perhaps your bottom line is being harmed by Carrier staying in Indiana?

You may feel that way but in every state I know of we the people have collectively agreed that the state should provide certain services and that we will pay for those services via taxes.

Where isn't that the case?
