General Motors is closing its IT Innovation Center in Chandler, Arizona, cutting 940 jobs. The closing came as a major shock, ChandlerNews.com reported. This location will close on Oct. 31, according to KTVK-TV. “Today’s announcement that GM plans to close its Arizona IT Innovation Center came as a complete surprise,” economic development director Micah Miranda said. “We’ve recently been working with their local team about higher education partnerships, mentoring, and a promotional video highlighting Chandler’s Price Corridor. With this unfortunate news, we plan to work closely with our workforce development partners to assist with employment opportunities for those impacted,” Miranda said.

Feb of last year they said they were "Expanding", it was started in 2014, as a Green /IT/Inclusive workforce operation(under obama) It actually was 4 centers, this one, Warren Mich, Austin Tex, and one in Ga. Likely part of the GM bailout deal...and aimed for targeted voting groups in "swing" states.

Hey Union worker.. you get what you vote for. But you still remain democrats. Quit complaining when Democrat economic policies that block oil production, fund a Ukraine war we are nearly totally funding that has no end in sight and the Biden family mafia is profiting from which in turn causes inflation to the point where people cannot afford to buy new cars. But you Union workers still vote for these idiots. Cannot say I totally feel sorry for you. GM plants in China are still open!

Everybody was blindsided except those who watched GM jump with both feet into the EV boondoggle that has produced unsold and unsellable cars and trucks sitting on back lots everywhere. Oh, and they didn't get another grant but they took lots of "subsidy" money from US taxpayers to develop those Lithium bombs that nobody except eco-nuts want to buy. Next up - Ford. Want to buy a nice electric pickup that is now advertised at a whopping $6,500 discount? Me neither.

To cover the expense of all those money losing EVs. Bidenomics picks winner and losers. Producers lose. Bidenomics isn't about making a profit which means it isn't about producing a product or service. All those unemployed workers end up dependent on the government, and Bidenomics is all about dependency.

Washington—With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White House term for Donald Trump, recruiting thousands of Americans to come to Washington on a mission to dismantle the federal government and replace it with a vision closer to his own. Led by the long-established Heritage Foundation think tank and fueled by former Trump administration officials, the far-reaching effort is essentially a government-in-waiting for the former president’s second term — or any candidate who aligns with their ideals and can defeat President Joe Biden in 2024. With a nearly 1,000-page “Project 2025” handbook and an “army” of Americans,

Hurricane Idalia could be the strongest storm to hit the Florida Big Bend region for a century, with projections it could become a Category 3 storm with 150mph winds and a 12 foot storm surge. The large storm is currently churning around 80 miles off the western tip of Cuba and is barreling north towards Florida with winds now at 70mph. At 8pm on Monday the National Hurricane Center said Idalia had almost reached hurricane status. It's projected to grow into a Category 3 hurricane with 120 mph sustained winds and gusts up to 150 mph before making landfall while also producing storm surge up to 12 feet.

Rome—Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the U.S. Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time. Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the U.S. Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage. Many conservatives have blasted Francis’ emphasis instead on social justice issues such as the environment and the poor, while also branding as heretical his opening to letting divorced and civilly remarried

Pope Francis said there is a “very strong, organized, reactionary attitude” in the U.S. Catholic church, that is “backwards” and has led the church to replace faith with “ideology,” according to a new transcript of the comments released Monday. The remarks came during a private meeting with Portuguese members of his Jesuit religious order during a visit to Lisbon on August 5, per a transcript of the meeting published by the Jesuit journal La Civilta Cattolica. A Portuguese Jesuit told Francis that he struggled during a recent sabbatical year in the U.S. after coming across many Catholics, including bishops, who were critical of Francis’s papacy and today’s Jesuits, at which point

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded that taxpayers in the United States and European Union send the country even more aid if the West wishes for elections to be held next year. In an interview published by the president’s office on Sunday evening, Zelensky said that he would be willing to hold elections despite the ongoing martial law amid the war with Russia, so long as the U.S. and EU bankroll the voting process. The Ukrainian leader said that elections during peacetime typically cost around 5 billion hryvnia ($135 million) but did not speculate as to how much more they would cost during a war, though presumably it would be much higher.

The best defense former President Donald Trump has against his indictment in Washington for multiple conspiracies to defraud the United States as part of the events of January 6, 2021, hinges on his purportedly sincere belief that he actually won the 2020 election. According to the prosecution, Trump and his co-conspirators attempted to “overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election by using knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct the federal government function by which those results are collected, counted, and certified.”
