LORDSTOWN, Ohio - Lordstown Motors warned that it is in danger of failing as the electronics company Foxconn wavers on a $170 million investment in the commercial electric vehicle startup.

When lordstown (no capitals on purpose) was a gm plant, the work crew were awful, quality control was non existent, the workforce was the most militant of any gm plant.
I hated having to work in that plant.
When gm closed that plant I went outside and screamed with joy.

The same workforce infected this new plant.

Just wondering how many dollars in tax abatements were granted and money stolen from Ohio taxpayers for empty promises of jobs that never materialized.

I heard that that plant had the highest call off rate as well as bad QC and that was a big reason the plant was shut down
