Crony Socialism to the Rescue

[Order66]

General Motors Company (GM - Analyst Report) plans to redesign and sell its Chevrolet Colorado mid-size pick-up truck in the U.S. The company would also start selling the latest version of the pick-up truck in Thailand, the world's largest market for mid-size trucks.

Currently, GM builds Colorado in its Shreveport, Louisiana plant. The plant will manufacture Colorado until mid-2012 and will close afterwards.

[...]

As of now, it is unclear where the new Colorado will be built and how much it would cost. However, GM’s new 4-year contract with United Auto Workers (UAW) union indicates that the company will build a mid-size pick-up at a plant in Wentzville, Missouri, near St. Louis.

So apparently the UAW gets to dictate where new plants will be built. Who cares if people in Louisiana will lose jobs or if the cost gets passed down to the consumer, at least the UAW has taken those sons-of-b****es out.

Does the Berlin Wall count as an infrastructure project?
