There were other “projects” of a similar ilk in Zero's Chicago resume.
As an unwilling union member for decades, I can promise you that they are a political arm of the Dem party, with the only question being, who runs whom?
.
Do you believe you were the only union member who wasn't a democrat? Aren't most union members US citizens and taxpayers ? I'm not pro union, but I'm an unabashed Patriot and supporter of US manufacturers and labor.
Excellent my FRiend, in that case, I recommend a Honda.
Aren't Honda headquarters in Japan? Are you Japanese or an American citizen?
