Why VA voters fell for the Youngkin BS is beyond me.

After the CCP balloon debacle, I'm happy that Youngkin refused their presence in VA. Good for him.

— Ford battery plant rejected by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin over alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party close to landing in Michigan

— Ford executives met with Calhoun County leaders Wednesday to brief them on details of a multi-billion dollar investment in a battery plant it would build with Chinese-controlled CATL

— could create roughly 2,500 jobs in the region surrounding Marshall, 106 miles west of Detroit

— Ford would own the land and employ the workforce operating the Marshall Township site

Ok, please explain why investment in a manufacturing plant that ultimately is US based materials, US workers and US resouces provides a front for the Chinese government.

Possibly the most idiotic perspective on this. But, whatever.

Ford makes poor quality cars, particularly compared to Toyota and Honda.

It’s not 1992 anymore. Ford is way above Honda.

GOP posturing against China is so precious. Maybe it made sense in the early 90s, but the ship sailed long ago.

Was this the same employment structure that Youngkin rejected or is this new for Michigan? Youngkin made it seem like the employees were going to be on CATL's payroll or staffing agency - not Ford.
