Blog Drought about to End

A lot of things kept the posting down last week. First of all, it was a relatively slow week in he auto industry. Secondly I had very little time. Finally, Blogger decided to have service outages on the rare occasions when I could actually do anything. Just for that I'm not going to pay my bill. Oh, it's free.

I have a few drafts that I couldn't get posted that I'll probably tidy up and scatter around this week.



Kia to build Georgia Plant

Pretty soon, Kia will employ more people in Georgia than General Motors and Ford. Kia's Georgia plant will be a big one, with capacity up to 300,000 units per year, and it will employ about 2,500 workers.

It would have been nice if they could have taken over at least the site of the closing Ford or General Motors plants to minimize the effect on the environment, or possibly to re-hire displaced workers, but that's not the way things go these days, both the workers and the land are damaged goods.
