It's been more profitable for a long time. Carrier is not the first and surely won't be the last with the inattention and complicity our government has had in the last forty years.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.
I don't think I would want a Carrier A/C unit built in Indianapolis that is made post announcement. Of course the lack of quality and service on the last Carrier unit I bought convinced me to buy Trane going forward - got no idea where they are made.

Nothing more than what has been going on since the start of big business... "Restructuring"!
And helped along by "Free Trade" regulations, and more to the lax financial and corporate laws in this country.
Its a large corporation and 1,400 jobs mean little as with any of these large corporations, its about more and more profits for share holders and the unreal salaries and bonuses of those in the upper echelon.
Profit is the entire point of a business you dumb phugk

Exactly. The business of a for profit business is to make a profit. If government makes that too hard then businesses will leave.
“the chief business of the American people is business.” Calvin Coolidge 1925
While that seems like a trite phase. The speech that "Silent Cal" where it came from is really about the newspaper business and how it has to satisfy both masters, profit and public service. It certainly harkens back to when politicians wrote their own speeches and were not slaves to sound bite media. Truly some elegant language. Worth a read if you have a few.

You mean to tell me people who invest their money in a company should be allowed to get a return on their investment? 🤔 LOL
Amazing concept ain't it.

I bet your Union (if you are a member) or yourself are holding stocks and or mutual funds from these corporations.
Obama care Hiring Laws EPA Federal and State Income tax Unions [bleep] trade laws, didn't Clinton do Nafta and Obama just did a masterful one as well .
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
I wonder if Carrier will reduce it's prices on air conditioners?
The bigger question is will you continue to buy their products if they raise the price in order to afford the costs of union labor...corporate taxes....and ever increasing government regulations....
You just hit on the three major problems, Question should be "when are we going to fix this problem?"
An FYI, I always buy "Made In USA" when given the choice even if the cost is higher. I believe in this country and it's people and choose to support it and them. I own no foreign guns, I buy American branded cars, ect, ect.
Since United Technologies has chosen to abandon this country except for it's profits the answer is NO, I will no longer buy United Technologies made products.
"Since United Technologies has chosen to abandon this country except for it's profits the answer is NO, I will no longer buy United Technologies made products."
United Technologies is principally an industrial goods producer, not a consumer goods producer. Carrier manufactures one of the few products that UT makes that is sold to consumers and, even the consumer market is a small part of their business (commercial refrigeration is the main portion).
Few consumers buy Otis elevators and escalators, Pratt and Whitney jet engines and turbines, or UTC aerospace systems, so the prospect of a consumer boycott is pretty hollow. Of course, one can get on an elevator, see that it was made by Otis, get off and, walk up 22 floors; but I don't think that will happen; same for airplane engines made by P&W.
I too look for the "Made in USA" label, but am finding it more difficult to find such goods, especially in major chain stores (Home Depot, Lowes, Macy's, Best Buy, etc.). Sad, but true. The American consumer wants less expensive goods. A lower wage sounds good to many consumers until their worker counterpart is told that the company is cutting wages! Such are the effects of capitalism.
It's well known that you abhor capitalism. You've been a socialist .gov shill and paid whore your entire miserable life, and that has never changed. F'kin' leech.

Well, companies that move off-shore are just living in a "self-fulfilling prophecy" world. Unemployed US workers can not buy their products regardless of how less expensive (actually, the companies want to reduce their costs, not their price!).
But then, this is yet another of capitalism. Resources are applied in the most advantageous direction. Washington State gave Boeing a ton of money (tax breaks and infrastructure) to keep production in the state. But, they've shifted jobs to lower production areas (e.g., South Carolina and overseas) anyway.
I wouldn't blame government over-regulation and over-taxing on capitalism. It always amazes me when the ignorant attack the very economic system that allows them to live the life that they do. Show us which system has produced more innovation and created more wealth for more people than capitalism, where we have voluntary redistribution vs big government forced redistribution.

Typical response from a "no knowledge" dimocrat. It makes you wonder how people like this function with the hatred they constantly carry. Another product of public education that failed to educate.

You can blame it on government choosing the winners. It's appears that freedom is becoming inconceivable to the vast majority of Americans. Replacing government with government is stupid. The only answer is conservatism and the smaller government that comes with it,.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
