His perception is the 70s. Cars, coal, steel. All those industries are in decline for quite awhile

I dont know if that deal ever went thru, but it reminds me of where my brother used to work in NC. His company bought an old R J Reynolds plant, a giant cigarette factory. The kind of place they use golf carts to get around but probably still smaller than Lordstown. They got huge tax incentives but it was really a small startup. (Like Workhorse). They were failing so a Russian oligarch (criminal) bought the place, then leased the property. Some sort of tax evasion scheme just like the original purchase was obviously a money laundering scheme.

After all, he's now a "war president".

Has he actually seen a ventilator? Does he think it's like an 'Iron Lung' from the polio days?
