Anybody have any insight on Leaf-Smyrna factory closures this year? As in, how many weeks did the factory close, so far, this year? Any in 2020? Impact on the workers' salaries? Do we need Michael Keaton to make a return appearance to motivate the workers there again ("Gung Ho", 1986) ?
..... Any opinions or insights or crazy conjecture is good.
I asked one of our members @knightmb who leaves near Smyrna about Leaf production activity recently.
He said he read a story about how it is being stopped again for a bit, so I guessed he meant Nashville's "Tennessean" newspaper. It was. Good story, really a 3rd-world country covid-19 problem at it's root, although it's a "chip shortage" to us.
Chip-shortage (covid-19 in Malaysia) induced closure is from Aug. 16 to Aug. 30, and who knows what they will update those dates with later.
A couple of dealerships in my area have said, on their websites, they were getting some '22 Leafs on the way. Now they all have taken that info down. Slim pickins'.
