"wages, homes, property and sales tax back to indiana, buying power of those employed who would be un or under employed"
You're only looking at the "seen". You're not considering the "unseen"...
I'm just going to re-post a small tidbit from the original article:
"What About the Employers Who Rely on Inexpensive Climate Control?
After all, air conditioning is not merely some luxury enjoyed by a few rich people. Air conditioning has a myriad of applications in production, meaning that any move by a government official to keep Carrier from lowering the cost of air conditioning will lead to greater costs for many other producers.
Movie theaters, factories, warehouses, server farms, and countless other producers and consumers devote a non-negligible percentage of their operating costs to climate control. Every time that these costs are increased — or not allowed to fall — through government intervention, it puts pressure on those other employers who may be forced to engage in layoffs in order to remain profitable or competitive.
But, you won't hear anything on FoxNews if a small business goes out of business or must refrain from hiring new employees because its climate control costs are too high. You won't hear about it when some medium-sized pharmaceutical factory delays an expansion because its profitability has been negatively impacted by expensive air conditioners.
We will only hear about the tiny number of people (out of a country of 320 million) who will keep their jobs at the expense of unknown multitudes of other employees and producers who would have benefited from cost cutting at the company in question."
