Foreign Automaker Lays Off Thousands of Michigan Workers after Pocketing Hundreds of Millions in Biden EV Subsidies

[Hollie]

Because the taxpayer dollars and the EV fraud never ends, giving away $hundreds of millions of dollars to be taken advantage of seems to have been the right thing to do per Biden-Harris.

Another Biden- Harris fraud financed by the taxpayers. Apparently, " supporting workers and communities" translates to mass layoffs.

multinational automaker prepared to lay off more than 2,000 American workers in August after benefiting handsomely from the Biden administration’s subsidies for electric-vehicle production.

Stellantis, the parent company to famous brands like Ram and Jeep, has been awarded hundreds of millions in grants from the federal government to promote its EV manufacturing. But the Biden administration’s largesse has not prevented the company from laying off American workers.

In July, the Department of Energy awarded Stellantis subsidiary Chrysler a $334.8 million grant to convert a shuttered Illinois plant into a facility for building EVs and another $250 million grant to make a transmission plant in Indiana suitable for manufacturing EV parts. Negotiations between the Department of Energy and grant awardees will take place to ensure the companies meet certain requirements for supporting workers and communities.

You heard wrong. The 5.7 Hemi (used in RAMs, Dodge Charger/Challenger/etc.) was retired, replaced with the new Hurricane inline 6. That's it.

The layoffs were from a Belvidere line that makes trucks that are low in sales fuckup.
