Yeah and Japan is loving it!
Massive unemployment you can believe in!!!!
Being from the Detroit area, only one thing to say, “Welcome to the Party Pal!!!!”
Let’s hope they are moving to get out from under the UAW contracts.
White House spokesman: “The good news is that the number of layoffs in the area auto industry is expected to be very low for the forseeable future.”
St Louis has virtually shut down and has only a subsistence economy.
Even American airlines has announced they are cutting flights and will no longer make St Louis Lambert a hub.
The city could start looking like Detroit before long. IMO.
This hopey changey stuff is somethin’ else.
How is that union working out for you?
Would that be toward the local unemployment office? (some sarcasm)
Georgraphy of the US auto manufacturing industry
The economies of Michigan, Alabama, Ohio, Indiana, and Missouri are the most highly dependent on auto manufacturing. While Michigan and Ohio have lost more than 43,000 auto jobs since 2001, Indiana actually added almost 3000 over the same time period and Alabama more than doubled its auto industry, adding 8600 jobs.
Why the despair, comrade?
You should be filled with joy!
Our glorious Comrades at the Democrat Party have succsessfully OUTFORCED those jobs from the evil American Capitalist pigs, and given them to Proletariate Mexicans and our Comrades in China!!!
When the Evil (White) American Capitalist Pigs are forced on to welfare, we will control them all, and everything will be put right in the world!

But at least those remaining 700 have awesome health care benefits! And so do the tens of thousands of retirees.
“Seven hundred may not be our lowest employment number since
the dawn of the auto age,...”
How comforting that is.
Even though these unionistas got a message in the 1980s (or late
1970s) with the closure of a St. Louis GM plant that made Corvettes...
they never F-—ING listened.
And their GM managers didn’t listen very well to clear messages from
the market place and their clients.
