Description: Ford lays off 1,600 in Glendale, KY:

The Death of the Rural American Dream?

The holiday season just took a devastating turn for Glendale, Kentucky. Ford has officially announced the layoff of 1,600 workers as it 'pivots' away from EV battery production at Blue Oval SK Plant.

While the company promises a return to "battery energy storage" for data centers by 2027, the immediate reality for this small town is an "economic controlled detonation."... More at the YouTube Link above under 'Description.'

1. crashing the economy was always the plan.

that is when they really start selecting for compliance as they breed their servant classes. The rest of us die of starvation and communicable disease.

Brave New World. Ketamine fueled clones with Chainsaws hunting the working class for spirt.

3. I've never heard of Fairfield, KY

The plant is in Sonora. My general area. Most of the people who have been working there are not locals. The execs moving to the area, or perceived they will be, have driven up the price of real estate considerably though. Even the place where the plant sits, was a big farm (I'm sure he made millions.) There's other farmland being bought up to build houses on all around there. They've added another lane to the highway there. Its pretty sad, actually.

Its going to hit Kentucky like a ton of rocks. Gov. Beshear is already having talks with Ford about how to make the best of the situation. He works really hard to bring business to our state, and he's done a great job of it.

5. Thanks for the info and input. What a sad downturn for the area and state. I think

Large Man maybe mixed up from sources, saying Fairfield instead of Glendale in Hardin County. There was a lot of reporting on this story in the business press.
