Those workers are expected to migrate along with the SUV they currently build.

“the plant, which will be shut for a year while new equipment is installed”

Who knows? No details in the linked story.

I’m not trying to be smart-aleck or anything, but the correct term is Sisyphean.

The whole thing is so sad - cities that were once so vibrant and proud, now hollow shells their guts having rotted through, what’s left rattles to the ground.

That’s probably the same reason Iberra used to justify his “finds”, no?
