Millions of potential voters...

I have to agree with tomtom.

This is a perfect example where politics is polluting common sense.

Detroit has never been the metallurgical center of the United States. Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Youngstown, Ohio, (the golden triangle of the steel industry) Gary, Indiana, Birmingham, Alabama, perhaps.

This is a slap in the face of the pioneers of the metallurgical heart of America. Detroit received the beneficience of these cities of products fabricated under sub-contract to Detroit.

Note the complete abscence of the universities specializing in bulk metallic glasses: CalTech, Yale, MIT, Wisconsin, all of them, except perhaps the Colorado School of Mines, which has always been captive to the extraction industry (but recently amorphous metals).

Note to the inclusion of the Machinists Unions.

Note the exclusion of specialty steel makers like Carpenter, Allegheny,

This placement is not based upon the realities of the world and the direction it is going.

It is catering only to a bankrupt city which dug its way to where its at due to unions.

This shows you a perfect example of why the LQMT disruptive technology has been repressed.

But thanks for the post.

Being from Detroit I have a good Idea why. Their are many very experienced, professional machinist all over that area. Who all worked for the big 3. Directly or indirectly.

That makes it turnkey with training at a minimum.

I myself did fabrication there.

If you need something machined or made Detroit is the place to have that done and you can hit Ohio with a rock. So shipping would be at a minimum also.

As far as unions. To hell with that. That is why they shutdown production all over the state.

Back in the day they were for the people. Now like most in this country. They are for themselves and robbing workers.

Economic adrenaline shot the area really needs. Land and housing are at historic lows allowing the government a savings on that alone. It will bring some jobs the area sorely needs. I think it is a good idea.
