I was just watching the Norfolk, VA news and they were talking about the local Ford plant shutting down. This will mean nearly 2,500 people out of work, including about 500 people who live just across the border in NE North Carolina. The report said that NC was trying to attract manufacturing jobs to the area (which is very rural), but right now the only comparable business in the area that is expanding is Blackwater. I hate Bush's America.
(Sorry, I don't have a link - it was on the evening news.)
