2 things jumped out at me while watching this...

1. Plant was built in an area that was once Tropical Rain Forest! :x
2. Cheap labor. :x

You could built a plant like that here in the US but the UAW would have a fit about all the robotics replacing humans. Probably why they went to Brazil in the first place.

Greed creates jobs; I don't know anyone who starts a business so they can create jobs.
Greed does not ship jobs overseas, high corporate taxes do.
