XXIII. Conceivable Elements in a Trump 'Deal'
I think that just from the proposed sketch of a Carrier Air Conditioning 'Deal,' we're provided with the basic features of what such a deal entails.
1. The company announcement that it is taking its operations to another country and abandoning its manufacturing operations in the US.
2. The Trump administration effort to initiate a deal to keep the particular company's manufacturing facility productive in the US.
3. The result: the company retains a significant number of jobs in the US, while moving other positions to a new country, viz., Mexico. Be it noted:
a. The state of Indiana will provide tax breaks to the company.
b. The Trump administration has gained an opportunity, not only by way of publicizing the deal, but by gaining entry to any other cooperate entity in the group to further enhance the ''deal.'
In this case, Trump himself contacted the parent company, United Technologies, which has military contracts and could have expanded the number and/or the value of any additional contracts for mutual financial benefit--the US government and the parent entity, United Technologies. Trump himself admitted he did not know the CEO of United Technologies until he called him regarding the Carrier Deal.
So, what we have here is a deal that could have lucrative offshoots for those parties involved.

Operations Centers #3 and #4, learning from the First and Second!
It's been only half a year, really, and it's on to #s 3 and 4.
#3 deals with the need to make the GAO have some teeth to its administrative recommendations. There has to be bite to their pronouncements in order to render their dicta to take on the force of those issued by some regulative agency.
#4: My working with the Chinese these past years has netted much fruit, I believe. By establishing an Ops Center in Seattle, #4, China and other friendly area nations will enjoin a cooperative effort in maintaining commercial Asian water lanes. I anticipate changes similar, moreover, to the profound changes that have occurred in Central America, this past year.
Anyway, I asked for and received support for these still-in-the-planning stages, Ops #s 3 and 4.
