The author is right on a lot of these points, but I suspect that Carrier’s decision involved a lot more than just a state tax incentive. Time will tell, but I truly believe that the biggest impact of Trump’s election is a general recognition by these companies that a real adult is going to be in charge soon.
The glow of Trump on the horizon has a lot to do with it. They know the bureaucratic B.S. and would love to see that stricken off of their agendas.
