I mean, what were they supposed to do? Trump enacted all these tariffs and all the money they spent on the plant would never be recouped in vehicle sales, so they’re rejiggering the factory to produce (sigh) data center batteries. At the end of the day they’re a corporation, and they’re gonna go where the money is. Apparently that money is not in retraining the existing workforce?
It’s just a dumb situation all around. Not like anyone’s buying cars anyway. And now folks that are in abject poverty will be even worse off. Trump did this, and Ford in their infinite wisdom made it worse, if inadvertently.
