You're ok. To briefly explain my stance: I just don't entirely agree with your viewpoint/assertions but I see no reason to engage on a subject so potentially divisive. I'll happily debate anyone on specific issues/policies if they invite the banter but I try to avoid partisan politics.
As for the Grand River Plant, GM agreed to convert the plant to EV production in their latest union contract so the plants future would seem to be all but secured, losing the Federal money may affect the scope/timeline but I doubt it derails the plan entirely. Honestly, giving corporations half-billion dollar handouts isn't something I like to see, if there are handouts to be had I want Lansing and Michigan to get at least their fair share, but I'm fine without the straight-up corporate welfare.
Thank you for your post, I was rather emotional about what happened and what may happen in our near future.
I think up are right about the GM plant, but it was something that I heard that fellow from Ohio say the repubs were going to take a look at. It is true also that these projects should be funded by the company saving government funds for use on public projects.
I read a disturbing artical in the City Pulse about some sort of political protest I guess is what you'd call it politely, where people are being filmed going into Eastside businesses for proposes of intimidation. I would like everyone to patronize the Eastside Michigan Avenue shops and restaurants to show support and that Lansing will not be intimidated.
