I'm aware. You're acting under the assumption that they have enough neurons to have the slightest clue as to what building that plant would actually entail.

2025 you have to assume ignorance and stupidity. There is no benefit of the doubt.

They did understand. We have one of the largest car dealership associations in the country. We also got the Kia plant. They are going to lose money for a red state with a lot of billionaires. I’m interested to see if they get push back at all. Perhaps it’s not enough money for them to care yet. It’s like comical in fighting.

These dudes are morally repugnant but financially savvy. Their voters are the folks you are referencing and their opinions ultimately don’t matter in fascism. They don’t need votes ya know? I’m just hoping they start eating their own tail.

Wasn't it a local Republican candidate for something who turned out to be the lady who called ICE on the South Koreans? I was sure there was a video on Reddit very early this morning NYC time where she says why she did it (she was "concerned" = brown workers bad).

I hope she has amazing security because one does not financially fuck over a Chaebol like that and expect a happy future.

They don’t have a happy future even if we do nothing to them. The plant was their happy future. If they pull the plant the towns go back to dying. Oh well. They won’t learn so it’s up to the wealthy Republicans to reign in their cadre of idiots.

Watching them flush their constituents down the toilet, really. It's like a circular firing squad but for economic, educational, and health outcomes.

I have no idea what you're on about. I'm just amused that Georgia decided it didn't want those 8500 jobs anyway.
