Electric Jobs Zap! Communities Plugged In, Fired Out
Three hardworking communities bet their futures on a shiny electric vehicle dream promising jobs and green glory. Instead, they’re left spinning their wheels with questions and zero paychecks. As one local lamented, 'We signed up for Teslas but got tested with joblessness.' The plan charged ahead like Elon’s tweets, but the promised workforce surge turned out to be more ghost ride than gig economy. Now these towns are stuck like a dead battery, wondering if the EV was just an electrified mirage fueling hopes but draining wallets.
