In this case you are setting a dangerous precedent. So something isnt always better than nothing. Carrier got a huuuuuge tax break and still more than 50% of the work force is leaving. It is such fluff.
Such painfully evident throw the crowd a bone strategic crap move in the big picture.
Edit: just saw the bernie article. Say what u want about Bernie. Call him whatever you want. But he is spot on. I mean it is common fucking sense.
During campaign :
Trump - u leave ur dead to me and u will pay dearly to come back.
Now :
Trump - please ill pay u to keep 40 % of the jobs here?

You are reacting off your gut. Look if it becomes the Oprah Winfrey show but with tax breaks (you get a million. You get a million every corporation gets a million) then it might be a bad thing. Again he isn't even president yet and maybe part of the conversations were you can choose this now or face a 35% tax once I am sworn in. I don't know how the negotiation went down.
I will stay with the fact that Baltimore just did a similar sweet deal to under armour and was getting praise by all the local Democrats. Jobs are rarely bad things to keep.
