Mexico? Trump made concessions and pence is giving Carrier millions while Carrier moves hundreds of jobs south of the border.

Down the road from Carrier, Rexnord is moving jobs to Mexico, from Pences state. Why didn't team trump do something (other than tweet about it)?

A great article on the Carrier deal - ummmm MU - 12/3 09:42:22
     Just a massive amount of butthurt. - justwinbaby KC - 12/3 14:22:12
     It's a shortsighted deal - Ferg STL - 12/3 11:19:34
          Yeah, I don't think those numbers are correct - Sal KC - 12/3 12:11:04
               1100 workers staying out of 2400 - JG A - 12/3 13:19:29
                    2100 were moving, not "at risk". (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 15:31:55
                         2400 and from an American POV - JG A - 12/3 16:44:22
               it's an odd reaction, isn't it? (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 12:40:06
          Only Indiana made a tax deal, there aren't 330,000,000 - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 11:45:41
     Why did donald cut a deal with Carrier to move 600 jobs to - tigerdb MU - 12/3 10:50:32
          Because anecdotes (no matter that over half - JG A - 12/3 11:01:01
               Ah, so you think this is not only philosophically wrong but - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 11:17:23
                    With the exception of the workers in question and their - JG A - 12/3 12:34:05
                         how is that? (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 12:40:29
                              Well those workers keep their jobs - JG A - 12/3 12:41:58
                                   Yes, how does it hurt others elsewhere - other than - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 12:42:45
                                        higher prices - JG A - 12/3 13:04:41
                                             higher prices for what? carrier just saved 7 million in - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 14:22:21
                                                  air conditioners - JG A - 12/3 18:03:57
                    so you like the government dictating operational strategy - Ferg STL - 12/3 11:21:49
                         dictate? Carrier could have opted to move the position - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 11:46:20
                              They're moving 600; were never going to move 300 of those - tigerdb MU - 12/3 11:50:40
                                   what are you talking about? UTX planned to move 2100 - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 11:56:39
                                        trump "saved" 800 - claimed 1,100 Carrier jobs; - tigerdb MU - 12/3 12:18:44
                                             so you agree 800 jobs are staying. fine (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 12:38:43
          Probably only needed one photo op (nm) - ummmm MU - 12/3 10:51:42
     Yay, American jobs suck. nm. - MUTGR MU - 12/3 10:30:36
          Jobs should never be the focus. - ummmm MU - 12/3 10:32:31
