Automobile manufacturing plants aren't pop up apple stores
You mean you can't just pick up hundreds of millions of dollars worth of heavy machinery and move it to another factory down the road overnight?
Idiots clearly have never even be to SE Michigan, let alone Detroit, and have no clue how automotive supply chains work. Just about every factory and industrial site from Flint to Toledo is producing parts that either get put into Big 3 cars directly or are used to make equipment that are then used. They have had 30 years of NAFTA to figure out how to move that complicated supply chain to Mexico with success, but are still reliant on American industrial might.
