Sipping tea from beer mugs with his co-workers, Kyle Bos listed the ways his life is changing.
Bos has two daughters, with a third due in January. At the grocery store, five items cost as much as a full cart once did. And on Wednesday, Bos and nearly 1,400 other people were laid off from their jobs at what had been the Navistar truck factory in southwestern Ohio.
The layoffs — occurring just three days before President Donald Trump’s rally on Saturday at a nearby high school — were large enough to basically erase an entire year of job growth in the greater Dayton, Ohio, area. And they are one reason why Bos, 30, plans to spend the final weeks before the November election canvassing votes for Democrats.
Asked how many times he had voted for Trump, Bos held up three tattooed fingers. But he said he’s done with the president.
“Something has to change politically in this country,” said Bos, a member of the United Auto Workers who identifies as a centrist. “Seems like it just kept getting worse and worse and worse.”

It’s you. You have to change. You won’t. You voted three times for the guy who has never taken responsibility for his own actions.
thanks don donny. are we great yet?
He identifies a a centrist but voted Trump three times. Can someone help me with the math because something doesn’t add up.
Many people claiming to be “independents” or “centrists” are just lying. They are temporarily embarrassed conservatives, usually.
There are several ways to get there. One is to draw tha scale so the Clintons are basically communists and the other end is a 1930s radical fascist. Another is to assume that you have the most reasonable, correct, and moderate political opinions. Like all the people who say they are Libertarian while voting straight Republican so they can support bad things without owning up to it.
Never thought a leopard would eat his face.
this time its trump eating thier face.

Look, I was all in for ruining other people’s lives, but now that I lost my job, I’m out
Countless statements to that effect. MAGA will end itself. 🎉
… or so I hope.
Now that Trump can’t run again and isn’t even going to be on the ballot I’m done with him.
(Ya I know Trump is going to try to stay in office but if that man lives another 2 years the world ended anyways.)
why would biden do this
He shit in my pants too LMAO
Pretty sure it was Obama and his damn Tan suits
and his dijon MUSTARD on his hot dog.
Nope. It was a trans athlete in scranton NJ.
those darn trans people!
They are the new antifa.
Ohioan: Lowers Trump flag to half-mast
Truly none of this matters. They will still vote straight R down the ticket, to dismantle those unions that protect them. I despise what they’ve done to America, almost as much as the billionaires themselves.
Leopards ate my face
What? Gas guzzling vehicles aren’t in high demand right now?
in a High gas price due to illegal war.
plans to spend the final weeks before the November election canvassing votes for Democrats
Oh good, they can learn eventually.
lol my gut feels fine. Theirs should, too, they obviously got what they wanted.
International sold the plant to Roshel, a Canadian company that makes armored vehicles. They are expected to hire many of these folks back within a year, and will have to negotiate a new contract to do that also, ultimately planning to have about double the existing workforce.
From the article:
Laid-off workers like Donnelly say they expect to be rehired in six to 12 months by Roshel, a Canadian manufacturer of armored vehicles that is buying the plant. Roshel said in a statement that it’s “working with everyone involved not only to protect the current workforce, but to more than double it over the coming years through a phased process.”
Why would a Canadian company even want to buy a factory here?
and will have to negotiate a new contract to do that also
The workers, desperate to get back to work, will settle for a worse deal after being unemployed for a year.
Roshel strips down F550s and rebuilds then with armor. It’s a shit product that currently has a role in Ukraine and with ICE. They are done for after the war in Ukraine.
