Workers in Georgia are happy to work for $20 an hour, while workers in Detroit still cling desperately to the belief that they deserve the $65 an hour they earned in the 60's. If they tried to open a plant in Michigan, auto unions would make a big stink that would be bad for business, demonstrating around the plant and harshly criticizing and in some cases threatening the plant's workers. In addition, Georgia has a much friendlier corporate tax structure. The decision was really a no-brainer. This decision wasn’t a coincidence.
