No, Obama did nothing (except to say it could not be done, and mocked Trump for bragging he could do it). Trump called Carrier, reminded their parent company that they get a lot of money in military contracts from the feds.


"nothing goes back to the worker "

Where do their salaries, raises, bonuses, health insurance subsidies, and 401(k) matches come from? Have you EVER worked a day in the private sector? Because you sound like you have no idea, absolutely no idea, what you are talking about. The private sector isn't North Korea. It's not perfect of course, but it is nowhere near what you think it is. Again, you sound completely un-hinged. There are a lot of private companies whose employees love working there. Where do you get your information, exactly? You say "nothing" goes back to the workers? That's demonstrably false.

.
you again seem to be missing the big picture .. are their some good company's sure but please dont try to make those companys reflect the real world ... because i dont work in the private sector dosn't mean those around me do not ... i have seen what the the private sector has done to its workers good and bad .. My wife has been at the same nursing home for 20 years as an LPN all she get is a pay check 2 weeks Vac and 5 sick days a year ... no retirement plan healthcare plan thats worthless .. its a for profit company been sold several times .. lets not get started on the food and other ares involving those who live there... I am sure reduced regulation isn't going to benefit them ( and please dont try the go some where else becasue its the industry it the same where ever you go )

in 2011, almost half of working Americans were not offered a retirement account by their employer —

Other groups with high participation rates include those covered by a union contract (82%, as opposed to 56% of those without a union contract), public sector employees (82%) and those at firms of 1,000+ employees (74%).

Its hard to play into retirement when your company's making profits
and you just got a 25 cent raise so now your at 15 bucks
