9. Or if they DO stay/come back

what is their quality? What will the conditions be like? Trump "dazzled" everybody with the so-called "brilliance" of the Carrier deal where (only) 800 people at Carrier are going to get to keep their jobs....for now, but Hoosier taxpayers are now going to basically be paying for their salaries, the Unions were totally cut out of the deal, and Trump has promised a friendlier regulatory environment for them (which certainly won't benefit any of the workers). Corporations may be more enticed to keep jobs here in the US or maybe even bring them back from other countries but under what conditions? Maybe if they are able to cut corners like pay their workers minimum wage (or below) and they are less regulated but will that be good enough for a majority of workers? Will that be safe for them?
