If he follows through... does that mean the jobs there will return to the US mainland? If that's the case, piss him off so the work returns to where it is desperately needed! Detroit and all of Michigan would welcome the move on behalf of GM. So would the U.S. taxpayer that bailed GM out and now owns a big chunk of it.
