Carrier encouraged to stay in the US using inducements.

Tax payers pay for those inducements.

Costs end up being borne by everyone, including non-Carrier employees.

Cost of goods increase invisibly.

Ends up generating wage pressures.

Whereas a dynamic, trading economy finds comparative advantages with neighbouring countries, as a result of which both win.

Now any sensible enterprise will demand similar incentives to stay, generating broad inefficiencies.
