How much corporate welfare was Ford looking for? Hyundai got $2 billion from Georgia for the plant cited in the article - I’m guess Youngkin didn’t want to get in a bidding war and used Chyna as an excuse. https://apnews.com/article/technology-georgia-electric-vehicles-savannah-f86760ac7a198c589a7ef1dd97b83c27 |
“I can’t defend my guy’s conduct so I’ll invent excuses for it even though I have no idea if they’re based in fact.” |
Any modern auto factory is going to require a bidding war because there are great paying factory jobs at the plant as well as all of the ancillary jobs created by the presence of a plant. |

It seems pretty clear that Youngkin is all about pandering.
His prattle recently about the equity debate in Nova was particularly embarrassing for him. I realize he exploited Terry's (accurate) statement about parent involvement in the schools to win the governorship, but he's really starting to flog a dead horse with his meddling in our schools. Between this and the Ford thing ... just, nope. He's not going anywhere. I'm sure Virginia will survive his misfeasance, but it's going to be stagnant couple of years of a leadership vaccuum at the top. |

I'd feel bad if this wasn't what residents voted for. It's ironic that NOVA democtats are the ones speaking up and not Pittsylvania County. Hopefully they enjoy the lack of jobs |

Youngkin won’t be president he will however coots VA ton i legal fees he’s not going away he’s an election denier and if you think he’s not going to try and stay gov lol
And yes I know his term is one year will not stop him he’s kariLake |
| Youngkin would get manhandled by Kaine in 2026 |
can you re-write that in English? |
Realistically, if he was the nominee, he would lose by about 4%. If it weren't a presidential year, he could have cut the margin to around the amount he won by in 2021, but there won't be much ticket splitting, especially if Trump's on the ballot. |
So, what about Youngkin's career at the Carlyle Group? Seems as though he was happy enough to do business with China when he was CEO. And profit off the loss of American jobs. Have you seen his house in Great Falls? |

I remember when dems and media ruthlessly bullied Scott Walker and gop dopes in Wisconsin for the Foxconn scam. Why are libs suddenly shilling foreign giveaway scams as a good thing? https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/29/after-wisconsins-foxconn-debacle-states-rethink-giant-subsidies.html |
They aren’t great paying. And they aren’t even Ford jobs. It’s all a big anti UAW scam and luckily the commonwealth has leaders who saw through it. Michigan has idiot leaders and will probably give away the farm so they can “win” it. |
As if you Beltway laptop “job” paper pushers give a damn what jobs bottom rung middle of nowhere proles have or don’t have. |
This. Pretty amazing to read comments from liberals who apparently don't want to acknowledge “the reality is that the technology that in fact drives all that (batteries) is owned and dominated by the Chinese.” (Youngkin's words). Funny that they don't seem at all concerned about this: "Ford Motor Company building a battery manufacturing plant in Virginia that would be operated by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., or CATL, a Chinese company that is the largest producer of electric vehicle batteries in the world and under the Ford agreement would retain ownership of the technology used in building the battery cells." Good for Youngkin. Glad he's in charge and not some idiot Democrat. |
