GM’s Flint Assembly plant is staying quiet until late January, keeping nearly 5,000 workers on temporary layoff—right after the holidays. While employees will keep their benefits, the ripple effect is hitting Flint’s shops, restaurants, and small businesses hard. GM says it’s using the time for maintenance and project work, but hasn’t shared details. Some are speculating about upgrades for new engines or future models. With the Corvette plant in Kentucky also shut down, it’s clear GM is making big moves behind the scenes. How do you think these shutdowns will shape the local economy and the future of auto manufacturing? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Flint
