There’s PLENTY of brown-land in the North East that these maggots could acquire, they need not destroy food producing farmland to build their silly boutique cars.

The interesting thought seems to be that Michigan is being abandoned for the Right to work state of Tennessee.

There are no skilled UAW EV workers.

Done all for nothing, because by and large EVs suck and will lead to Ford’s bankruptcy. So Tennessee will not get paid for all these tax abatements to Ford. But you cannot just blame Ford. Their brainless leaders see EVs as the future due to crap regulations from the Feds and various states. Such as Kali-Fornia that say no ICE vehicles can be sold there after 2035.

KaliFornia-— Kali is the many-armed female Hindu god of destruction

Very true. TVA, Fort Campbell, Lake Barkley, LBL,Oak Ridge, etc. The feds with help of the general assembly has generosity given away Tennessee farmers land for peanuts and manufactured I’ll will towards the government for generations.

Our family got taken when Fort Campbell was formed. Three farms were removed from our family tree on both sides.

Pennies on the dollar.

Eminent domain in the hands of crooks is as much thief as a gun in the hands of a robber

But the use a pen.

Or with this government, a damp spot.

“Navigable waters” or “wetland”, equally good.

No need to credit me!

it is prepared to seize the property of black farmers in order to facilitate Ford’s building project

I don’t see what race has to do with it. But what the hell, everything nowadays is about race.

"Something is wrong with the background of this story. A person who owns land “just west of Memphis” is in Arkansas … or at the bottom of the Mississippi River."

Wait! Tennessee can use eminent domain to seize land in other states!?! That's AWESOME!!! Tennesseee has been flat too long. Let's take West Arkansas, Northern Alabama, Northern Mississippi and Kentucky.

Come to think of it, we need some gulf ports too.

BTW we went through this craziness before ...

A few years ago TN gave VW millions to entice them to build a factory in SE TN ...

We were promised many 1,000s of jobs but VW brought their own employees and expected us to educate the kids and give them lots of other goodies ...

Less than 2,000 jobs were left for Americans,,,no bennies ...

Thanks for nothing ex-Senator Bob Corker of TN ...

How much did they pay you ???

Marvin doesn't need that land.
He'll probably keep doing something silly with it - like raising food.

How ridiculous!
Everyone knows that EV batteries are way more important than food!

Right?
