Dec 2018

but I hope all the people who are praying there are also praying for the workers in 2 plants closing in Michigan. Those plants are real close to my home and they provide many others with jobs outside of the OEM supply chain. Where will all these good working class people find decent paying jobs? All I heard from repugs before any elections was "Jobs Jobs Jobs"...well where are they? I guess all these closings and layoffs are a sign the economy is booming right? I say the Big 3 start paying taxes and not be subsidized by us any longer, no more corporate welfare!
