I think you misunderstood the 'when'

When?

How many 2-goal leads can one team blow in a month?

Janik?

You're missing the rest of the quote - and most of it seems to get diverted into graft, consultants, and environmental impact statements If Trump announces a $1 trillion shovel-ready infrastructure plan in the beginning of 2017, how much actual infrastructure construction will occur before his term is up, let alone by the end of 2017?

I guess this is as good as thread as any to laugh about Bernie complaining that Carrier got the best of Trump, even though Trump borrowed a page from Bernie's book of harassing businesses to get what you want.

Seems that Carrier jobs are more important than Burnham and Dunkirk jobs.

Then this logic is no different than Obama declaring a victory by renewables over fossil fuels. He's picking the winners, just like Trump is picking Carrier furnaces over competitors' furnaces. Kennedy hamstrung the railroads by taking away the needed revenues for upgrades, while at the same time using federal dollars to subsidize the automotive & truck industries. And many, especially in the Northeast are still paying for that executive decision. If you thought that Obama was wrong in favoring his pet commercial projects, Trump is equally wrong. Which shouldn't come as a surprise, since both are attention seeking thin skinned populists.

Since you're a history buff, tell us what happened to the railroad industry within a decade of the President inserting himself in commercial decisions?

My understanding is that the Indiana tax breaks have been on the table for a while. So what was new in the offer to Carrier? I'm guessing it was the stick threatening the DoD business to UT.

If this were a vacuum then the Presidential action to save the Carrier jobs was solidly well done. But it's not. By extending the benefits to Carrier makes them more competitive, relative to Dunkirk, Burnham, Peerless, etc. What happens when Carrier's special privileges mean lost sales at the other boiler companies and they have to lay people off. That's why it's a very dangerous precedent for the Executive to set, because it inserts him into the marketplace where he decides on the winners & the losers. That has never, ever worked out well, and is the perfect definition of crony capitalism.

Imagine how good he'll be when he finally can buy a legal drink.

I know. Why would one player make a difference on a team full of underachievers?

The guy who's done relatively nothing in Miami? Big Sammy? Don't remember.

Why is Kaneye rich?

You know, the general threat about Chinese manipulating their currency, applied to a US company moving a factory to Mexico. Makes perfect sense.

So sayeth the shepherd, so sayeth the flock

This is precious. Dilma getting her dirty fingers caught in a bribery cesspool is evidence of a soft-coup. The evil Americans are again stifling the progress that Marxists are about to bestow on their people.

Sucks to respond to a thread started by the unmentionable. There are two ways to look at this, did Carrier stay because of the carrot or the stick? Was the carrot the $7 million in tax breaks, and was it really a tax break, or elimination of a stupid tax that the lazy world calls a tax break? Was the stick a threat to cut back on General Dynamics DoD contracts? One of those is much worse than the other. And before you can climb back into the swampy hole that held you tight in the last six months, while we enjoyed a relative fresh breath of a discussion, you may note that in two weeks, there have been more constructive criticisms of Trump by the conservatives on this board than I have seen eight years of Obama's term. So this proves that you and your ilk are mindless drones, who can't utter a thought that isn't spoonfed by a talking head.

That is the answer. If the DBs come up with a few key stops vs Jets & Dolphins, Bills are sitting pretty right now.

If you're asking this question, I have a hunch you know the answer.

I'm guessing it's because he's spent most of the year on Giants' PS.

Hence the choice of two dolts for the highest office.

He was there 1 day

You can update to me on the DoJ actions, when you get back from the Beer Summit, reminding us all on why you didn't build that, while you're clinging to your guns & religion. Stupid comments that defined a Presidency are about to go into hyperdrive.
