“There are a lot more people out here living in abject poverty than what people like to think or admit to. You voted for this—and now we’re paying the price.”

Employees learned of the cuts on Monday in a video message from Michael Adams, CEO of BlueOval SK.

Adams announced the transition would mean “the end of all BlueOval SK positions in Kentucky.”

    Wow their population is between 1900-2700. Obviously not every employee lives there, but it means less people going there / being there. That’s going to have catastrophic local effects.

      Yup. All those lunches or coffee/something in the morning on the way to work. Gone. Have the day you voted for.

        Plus half the fuel stations, since no-one is driving to work, and half the mechanics, and the car lots, and the car washes. And pretty much most of everything else, since belts will have to be further tightened than they already were.

        Fucked around, found out. Zero sympathy.
