Looks like they saved only 800 jobs. Prices are going to get hiked and the investments for facility upgrades that carrier is going to invest in is automation which will mean fewer jobs.

Trump fans bought into his tower of lies.

No company is going to "keep jobs here" (assuming they don't just look toward automation) then be cool with the fact that they are going to make less money. They will either require 1) a tax break, which would mean either a higher deficit, higher taxes for everyone or reducing things like our crazy huge military spending or 2) they will raise prices. Either way, they won't be the ones footing the bill for their increased personnel costs.

So are all their competitors raising prices to match so they can maintain the same market share?

Perhaps. I'm glad I can pay more for a furnace no matter which company i shop through though!

At least those 800 people who refused to educate themselves to be able to do something other than low skill labor will be able to keep their jobs on my dime though. That's great. I'm so conservative and free market that I super like the idea of the government artificially proping up dying industries instead of giving people opportunities to better themselves. It makes me happy.

"conservatives" cheering for the government-funded Carrier bailout would be like an evangelical voting for an admitted sexual predator.

There was a pricing lag going back to the collapse of construction that's finally catching up. Business borrowing costs have begun to rise along with other costs.

Every HVAC manufacturer will be raising prices. They all buy their materials from the same places and all use the same transportation.

It isn't politics. It's the cost of doing business.

They were reported to save $65 million in labor costs and feared political action against the company.

Propped up was probably a lazy word after Bob talked about bailout earlier which wasn't the right term either... The company, carrier, isn't being propped up. Nor is the industry. The manufacturing jobs are. They were set to leave and were spending money to keep them to what end? So they can eventually leave while we pay more money for the product in the interim? Or perhaps not eventually leave and instead I continue to pay artificially higher prices in the long term, while also giving a tax break to the company for keeping the jobs here? No thanks, I'd rather they leave and we allow our economy to mature with globalization rather than fighting against it.

It's funny to watch the uninformed right wingers that refuse to read the NYT, WSJ or Washington Post gloat over a terrible deal for this country. Even Sarah Palin got it right in her essay about crony capitalism. It was a historic moment where I actually agreed with her.

The gloaters are prime examples of post-truth Americana. Their joy isn't based in fact, it just feels right to be happy about the Carrier Deal.

The $65M projected savings is all well and good but we saw 4-5 years of minimal annual or bi-annual price increases.

Carrier was going to have price increases regardless of how many jobs ended up staying or leaving Indiana.

Carrier must be pleased that this $65 million of additional expense is irrelevant since other costs were also going up.

Trump ripped the union leader for Carrier employees on twitter and now he's receiving death threats.

Post Comet Pizza you'd think our ever so charming president elect would know he's inciting violence when he vilifies people by name over his twitter account.

not additional. that's potential. .....and easily on the high end too, since i guarantee logistics and effectiveness isnt being factored in.

in my experience, ive only been to one Mexican plant that was more efficient than their us counterpart, and that's the exception, not the norm. generally, mexican run operations are complete clusters, and fuck up the quality and rep of the parent org, and you are better off buying Chinese since it's going to at least be cheaper.

then again, i do this shit for a living, so what do i know....

......and everything else, how is Carrier being propped up? bribed to stay in Indiana, yes, propped up, no, and when it comes to buying your next furnace, you (and pretty much everyone else) will buy the one they perceive is the best value, regardless of government involvement.

Propped up was probably a lazy word after Bob talked about bailout earlier which wasn't the right term either... The company, carrier, isn't being propped up. Nor is the industry. The manufacturing jobs are. They were set to leave and were spending money to keep them to what end? So they can eventually leave while we pay more money for the product in the interim? Or perhaps not eventually leave and instead I continue to pay artificially higher prices in the long term, while also giving a tax break to the company for keeping the jobs here? No thanks, I'd rather they leave and we allow our economy to mature with globalization rather than fighting against it.
I think you are throwing manufacturing jobs under the bus a bit too hastily. We will always have some manufacturing, and more would actually be better, but I think you are saying it has to make economic sense, which I agree with.
Carrier type deals are not going to turn around the economy and this case is mostly for show, but it's not like these deals don't happen all the time with state and local incentives.
The correct way to change the tide of out sourcing is to lower taxes (ideally eliminate them on businesses, but that won't happen) and cut stupid regulations that add cost with little to no benefit so the US starts to look like a more attractive place to invest.

Carrier must be pleased that this $65 million of additional expense is irrelevant since other costs were also going up.



not additional. that's potential. .....and easily on the high end too, since i guarantee logistics and effectiveness isnt being factored in.

in my experience, ive only been to one Mexican plant that was more efficient than their us counterpart, and that's the exception, not the norm. generally, mexican run operations are complete clusters, and fuck up the quality and rep of the parent org, and you are better off buying Chinese since it's going to at least be cheaper.

then again, i do this shit for a living, so what do i know....

Some of you dudes should be CFOs of the company since you have all these numbers calculated more accurately than they do
