states investing $1 billion to revamp production of some of its big cars and trucks in ojai and mitch egan. that comes on the heels of the ford announcement last week that they are not going to be in mexico but putting money here in the united states. that really drew praise from president—elect of trump and says it is part of the reason his america first policy that these companies are putting money in manufacturing here in the united states. i can see some tweets about avw states. i can see some tweets about a vw executive being charged. momentous moment. vw had this massive emissions scandal last year. the us justice massive emissions scandal last year. the usjustice department has arrested one executive. here in the united states. he was charged for his role in the emissions scandal. this is really significant because it was an executive that was charged but because the public had faced criticism during the financial crisis for not holding executives of banks responsible for their role in the crisis, we are seeing that the justice department is really going after vw executives. thank
