You mean that city, with surrounding cities, that's been in the highest unemployment brackets for a couple of decades, and still (officially) has about double the unemployment of anywhere else? Which probably means 10% or more in real, uncooked stats?
Yes, the good sons of UAW will no doubt sit home in solidarity, spurning $30/hour because it's nonunion.

You've made it abundantly clear that your mastery of an impact wrench makes you an unchallengeable expert on the whole field. I've never done anything but point out data from, you know, this decade.

what ever you say I’m thinking that I’ve worked more years than you have been alive. And btw Tesla won’t buy a GM factory in Michigan because you can’t even sell Tesla in Michigan.
Tesla never buys anything. They beg and plead for governmental units to give them physical assets and the necessary supporting infrastructure, on the promises of economic growth.
Tesla could have purchased a 5 million square foot, single story, abandoned manufacturing plant, with air rail and expressway transportation services pre-existing, dual 24 inch diameter city water lines, 120KV electrical services, and a customizable waste treatment plant. No, they had to beg for all these to be constructed for them on a desert site at zero cost to them.
BTW: Current data shows Detroit's unemployment rate at 5% after a decade of steady declines. This is for the city proper and does not include the outlying suburban areas.
Musk bought his California plant from Toyota for $40 million. The plant was shared with GM before the bankruptcy.
"The likelihood of this happening is very low, and also for $40 million is a minimum, so he's not going to get the kind of deal he would have in the past," Gartner Auto analyst Mike Ramsey said.
Musk is building a Child plant and probably can't afford any more.
"They're not making money," Ramsey said. "They have a lot of expenses coming up and they have a lot of vehicles they're planning to get out. So something eventually is going to have to change at Tesla. It does have to reach a level of profitability."
Another issue for Musk buying the GM plants is he's had problems retrofitting the old Nummi plant in California to his needs. He'd be facing the same problem in Michigan or Ohio.
