| More good paying jobs lost... |
...or not.
General Motors announced yesterday that it will be closing as many as five plants and laying off over 14,000 employees--and in doing so, also noted that Donald Trump's misguided steel tariffs had cost GM over a billion dollars. Two of those plant closing are here in my home of Dtroit--and one of them, the Warren plant, is roughly thirty minutes from where I live.
It will not be a Merry Christmas for the families of those losing their jobs. Or the businesses that those workers support with the strong wages they receive from said jobs.
I don't think it's an accident that now almost three years into the Trump Administration--after the Herculean efforts by President Obama and his Administration to save the auto industry--that once again good paying jobs are disappearing under republican leadership. The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer isn't a bug of conservatism, it's a feature.
Maybe someday it's base will recognize this and start to dig themselves out of the hole republicans have been throwing them into for the last thirty years.
Fuck Donald Trump,
