If you’re not rolling coal you’re woke.
That is a fair criticism. The problem is, David Purdue and his cronies aren’t criticizing the move because they hate tax credits, they are criticizing the move because they are “George Soros-owned woke corporation whose stated purpose is to combat climate change.”

CA labor laws are not fun in my experience. WA is bad too. They’re over regulated. Can’t imagine being a manufacturer there, it has to be brutal.
Meh whatever. All’s well that ends well. This is a handout to get taxpayers to fund a company. If that company doesn’t align with their values, good for them. Why prop up something you don’t want in your community?
Well for starters they're a business. California doesn't exactly have a reputation for being business friendly.

Hyundai to Build a $5.5B EV Plant in Georgia, Promising 8,100 Jobs Total
Hyundai now joins Rivian in making Georgia the home of its EV and battery manufacturing facilities.
I don’t have a party. I do, however, like to party.
Great. Now he has to come back and start blathering about how he is really a Dem, but they are crazy, and he’s just a common sense guy of an indeterminate age and racial make up, who may be retired, or working, and is quite possibly married.
LOL, on a hair trigger again this morning, or did you pull an all nighter? Going for a personal best post count today? 400 is achievable when you take every possible position.
Everything is woke these days. Bucolic is another word for poor, by the way. I love how people are so worried about good jobs in some of these low unemployment areas. Yeah, it’s gonna force wages up, and continue to empty out rural areas.
Per the article you posted that area is very nice and does not need added jobs. Also, please expand your vocabulary by looking up bucolic. It might actually help you expand your mind a little.
Thanks for your permission to use a word that describes the area. I am really lucky the article's author used it so you would also deem it worthy of your permission.🙄
All evidence points to this not being possible. Admirable that you’re trying though.
This is funny. Now do every other thing propped up by public money, often under dubious “benefit” to communities.
Was thinking more about things like fracking, for example. Quite a few fracking sites could be (formerly) described as “bucolic”. Or exurban development, funded partially by those remaining in the now-disinvested urban core, so that people could re-segregate, based on fear-stoking appeals promoted by the developers who stand to gain, that renders what could be described as “bucolic” older neighborhoods with their unique architectures and big old trees and sidewalks and front porches inviting neighborliness etc etc., renders them, well, disinvested and crumbling.
I agree. I don’t consume the trash and despise almost all tax credits, abatements, etc. because they incentivize economic decisions on the backs of everyone else.
I think the frack sand mining may disturb things more than the actual fracking, from what I have read. Development of any sort often upsets locals to the area, in my experience.
What is the average wage where they want to place the plant? Would these be better paying jobs? That is the point. You cannot place a plant like this where there isn't a population base, and the needed infrastructure, and lack of unions. A move like this drives growth and raises wages for workers throughout the area.
Anti business, that’s rich. Tax incentives are a zero sum game that screw people who are already established in the state. Someone’s paying for their free ride.
The ABSOLUTE worst thing to happen to consumers in Georgia was natural gas deregulation. The monopoly was much cheaper. The company that had the monopoly became the infrastructure provider, in that their pipes were used to transport natural gas. On top of that as added a layer of about 10 or so marketers that were going to compete against each other to provide consumers with natural gas at a lower cost per therm. The original company, of course, gets paid by the consumer for everyone using their pipes. The cost for the pipe usage along, before a single therm of gas is used, is HIGHER than my total bill ever was under the monopoly. When pressed, the politicians said yes, but it saves money for the corporate heavy users.
That’s not really on management. Morans refuse to understand that electric cars are just cars. No car company should have had that valuation coming out of the gate. Rivian builds a really cool product and these will be good jobs. I just wouldn’t expect them to build or sell F-150 numbers in the near future, or ever.
Yeah, It's on management. From the linked article:
And what accounts for the $70 dollars a share they lost after that? They were given a hundred billion dollar valuation producing 8 trucks a day.Yeah, It's on management. From the linked article:
Under acute pressure to correct course, Amazon-backed EV startup Rivian conceded it made its “most painful” mistake yet and said it will roll back upcoming price hikes for most of its customers.
After sparking a storm of online outrage culminating in a double-digit decline in its shares on Wednesday, founder R.J. Scaringe admitted he shattered fans’ trust when he jacked up the prices of his two models without warning.
“I have made a lot of mistakes since starting Rivian more than 12 years ago, but this one has been the most painful. I am truly sorry and committed to rebuilding your trust,” he wrote in an open letter on Thursday, passing off the blunder as a learning mistake.
That's just one example of several. Thay could do a much better job.
