Have I got a conspiracy theory for you! [View all]

Just heard that Bernie and Pumpkinface are working out a deal to keep United Technologies' subsidiaries in Connecticut, and not pull a Carrier to Mexico. Bernie will be sponsoring a law taxing and otherwise punishing anyone who moves a plant south of the border. This also includes no US government (military!) contracts.

The mind boggles at the thought of this deal actually being made months ago.
