Think twice the next time you say Tesla relies on subsidies:

  • Ford is cutting its own investment to 2.5B, while the state is providing 1.75B in known handouts(Some estimates put the total subsidies at 2.2B)
  • Jobs created are only expected to pay 20/hr, lower than state median wage, and cut from 2500 jobs to 1700.
  • Claimed to be able to create 4.38 jobs indirectly per job at the plant, which is grossly exaggerated. 4+ is only feasible in tech hubs, in Michigan its closer to 1.5-2.5
  • Governor exposed for funneling 100K dark money into silencing local residents.
