Fiat Chrysler announces $1B US investment
2017-01-09
[The Hill] Fiat Chrysler announced Sunday it will create 2,000 jobs in the United States, AFP reported.

The company will invest $1 billion by 2020 in two factories in Michigan and Ohio, where the new jobs will be based, according to a company statement.

"FCA US is further demonstrating its commitment to strengthening its US manufacturing base," it said.
Fiat Chrysler will upgrade a Warren, Mich., plant to produce new Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models, CNN Money reported.

It will also make a new pickup truck at its assembly complex in Toledo.

President-elect Donald Trump has criticized automakers on Twitter several times since his election for potentially moving jobs and manufacturing out of the U.S.

Just last week, he blasted General Motors on Twitter, threatening a "big border tax" on the automaker’s models made in Mexico.

Good - I was worried that the cars to be made were the crappy oversized golf cart shitbox Fiats.

#4  How many are willing to give the 'last full measure of devotion' to any multinational corporation? "Citizens of the world" become a very small number when the proverbial crap hits the fan. Loyalty is to a tribe. A small one or a Big One (see national identity). If you have no loyalty to me, I owe you no loyalty in return. Maximizing the bottom line at the expense of the tribe means when the time comes, don't ask for protection or representation on your behalf.

#3  Funny how easy it is to resolve when somebody actually addresses a problem (Carrier, Ford, Chrysler and Toyota to TX). All blue collar industries.

Well you'll have to admit, 'Making America Great Again' hasn't exactly been a major point of emphasis for the Obama regime.
