I've been in manufacturing for a long, long, long, whew!!! forever time. (it seems). I still can't claim to know how much a factory should cost for whatever product, but --- According to a news thingie I read, they'll be doing Excavators. Some new gen tools. But of course, the best part, as was pointed out by the video that brought us here, is that it all happened before DT took office. So, maybe he just misread the dates on this one.
