Is something missing here? |
|
|
Posted by Peter Rosa on Fri Aug 15 10:42:05 2025 GE Appliances has announced a $3 billion investment in its US manufacturing facilities, as it shifts appliance production back to the US from overseas:The company’s plan includes upgrades to plants in Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina, with a focus on automation, advanced technology, and increased output across all product lines, including air conditioning and water heating systems. Maybe I have poor reading comprehension, but it seems as if some place is missing from that list of states. Some place that ****desperately**** needs jobs. |

It makes less than zero sense for any company to build a large factory in the city, what with the unions and hyperinflated construction costs and difficult transportation and undoubtedly much else, UNLESS the city gives enormous subsidies. Which it won’t do. |

Large factories don't get built anywhere in the United States that has a population density that is even remotely close to that of Queens, much less Brooklyn, the Bronx, or Manhattan.It's not as though large factories in Austin TX get built in downtown either. They get built in what was farmland or forest. The last big farm in Queens became part of an expanded Aqueduct parking lot in the 1950s. |

Huh?A "union shop" is a facility where, if you are hired into a specified job category, you have x days to join the union after you are hired, or else the company agrees to fire you. There is very clear information that this arrangement is forbidden in those states. |
