LiteaFart  User ID: 42484131  United States02/12/2016 10:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The past few years have been very good for United Technologies. The contractor does billions of dollars a year in business with the federal government. CEO Gregory Hayes pulled down nearly $10 million in 2014, and over $20 million the year before. On Thursday, the company reported $7.6 billion in profits, up from $6.2 billion the year before, and $5.7 billion the year before that. In October, United Technologies even expanded its stock buyback program to $12 billion. By spending the company's own money on it' stock, it elevates the value of its share prices. It was so flush with cash that it could burn money to boost returns for its investors." Greed. Pure and simple. Unfettered capitalism with little regulation is destroying this country. Trickle Down has failed! |

| Black Knight User ID: 66996549 United States02/12/2016 10:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is a good example of the law of unintended consequencese. These companys are moving their businesses off shore and saving boo-koo money by lower wages found there however, they are leaving behind workers with no jobs or ones that pay much less than the ones they lost. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56026143 So, stick with me a sec,,,what happens I ask when all of these workers are not making a good wage so they can buy the crap these companies are making off shore? Oh sure they will sell some of their widgets to Malaysians, and some to Taiwan but their biggest horders, the U S consumer will eventually be broke. No widgets for you! Same thing I see for this mass illegal immigration that the Pope wants, sure lets open the border so ALL of Latin America can come to Texas. Then lets see how long that lasts or rather how long the Free stuff lasts. It will go on for awhile until they tax the few of us working into oblivion then where will they/Catholic Church get their Sunday donations, or the charity for the next tsunami in the Indian Ocean. It wont be from those Americans and certianly wont be from those "New Americans" living on the dole in their new country to the north. Its only a matter of time until this experiment called America goes Tango Uniform. Whiskey Bravo here and for all of you boys and girls that failed to serve your nation, that means Tits Up! Well spoken my friend indeed and quite prophetic. If you are familiar with two keys concepts that arose from the last G20 meeting in Paris which were, Over-Developed Nations and De-Growth you will understand what is on the agenda for our future. The "American Dream" is no longer sustainable to the NWO Big Boys and they are moving actively to solve that "Problem". At our expense of course. They failed at getting the 3rd world country wages to rise in parity with ours. So they said "fuck it, we'll just bring the 3rd world to us" and then through "affirmative action" they will automatically have to become in parity. Plus it whites out nationalism by any white countries. And the lowered wages means you'll have to sell your guns for what you need. There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that this is there plan. He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them regard for himself, while he who feels, and hence manifests, disrespect towards others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to inspire hatred against himself. When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70847383 What Assholes that company is for wanting to make a little profit on the products they produce! If you think I'm being sarcastic you're right. Is this Mexico's Fault? NO Well whos fault you ask? Government and Federal Government! Until those Two Entities Get out of the way We will continue To see Business Flea This Shitty Country Yes, the government and the unions need to step out of the way. Then jobs will come back here. No dude just Government and Federal Government! You can't read huh. Maybe you can't. It is the unions as well that are making these corporations leave. He mentioned their union in his speech.

You have probably made some poor decisions in your life. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70663468 You have a point there. Do something that can't be outsourced.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 69487427 United States02/12/2016 10:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | that's horrible Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71371248 it took serious balls to announce that publicly but that's horrible At least they got 12+ months warning. Most in their positions show up one day to find the doors closed and pink slips handed out. I doubt if they will last that long.I have worked for several companies that made plans to relocate and the process was put into action quicker than they promised. What really bothered me was the way the speaker responded to the workers. He held an aura of complete disdain for our people. With the lack of secure jobs for the American people and disregard towards them it makes it difficult for most people to take matters such as this to the level they wish for. I'll bet most of those workers had complete disdain for the company when their union was fucking the place dry. I've been there and seen the attitudes of union fucks. They always think the company is fucking them and are always too fucking stupid to realize that they have no right to be bitching about the pay they are receiving for their unmarketable "skills" I'll bet every one of them is an Obama-loving socialist. I'll bet none of them will ever find a job paying anywhere near what the unions sucked out of the company they worked for. They won't find that pay because they have no skills that a monkey couldn't do. The ignorance in your replies is astounding. This is a company that has been in business for over a hundred years and is now a multinational corporation that has made a profit nearly ever year since its inception. You take issue with the fact that the skilled tradesman building the AC units that are what bring income into the company shouldnt make a middle class wage? They also go through a 5 year apprentiship/training Your reality has been distorted by the fact that the elites have no respect for people that actually build things and would rather see everyone put themselves in major debt for college and become indentured servants. |

If you request a "white person" because thats what the role requires, i.e.. working at Disneyland as a character, movie part, commercial etc. etc. that is not discrimination. A spanish person will never sue, they have no interest in stealing money for no reason, and before you come comeback with "stealing jobs" , if American citizens stepped up and work those shitty jobs at low wages then they would not even come to this country. |
