@MalloryMcMorrow How as a state senator are you working to have the bridge open?

[Augusto Amorim @jaamorim]

anyone looking for any type of tickets must stay away from @StubHub. This company is a sham.

@CalltoActivism @GovWhitmer when will we get this law in Michigan?

[Augusto Amorim @jaamorim]

No doubt that @Tesla is a successful company and the Model Y is the preferred vehicle of American consumers, but they delivered 435,059 units globally in Q3. The @Toyota brand, the most popular make in the US, sold 515,400 units in Q3 in the country alone.

Abandoned Detroit Train Station

Michigan Central Station began operating as Detroit's main passenger depot in 1913 after the older Michigan Central Station burned on December 26, 1913. The growing trend toward increased automobile use was not a large concern in 1912, as is evident in the design of the building. Most passengers would arrive at and leave from Michigan Central Station by interurban service or streetcar, due to the station's distance from downtown Detroit.

Formally dedicated on January 4, 1914, the station remained open for business until the cessation of Amtrak service on January 6, 1988. It has been abandoned since.

At the beginning of World War I, the peak of rail travel in the United States, more than 200 trains left the station each day, and lines would stretch from the boarding gates to the main entrance.

In the 1940s, more than 4,000 passengers a day used the station, and more than 3,000 people worked in its office tower. Notable passengers included Charlie Chaplin, Thomas Edison, and Presidents Truman, Roosevelt, and Hoover.

The station building consists of a train depot and an office tower with thirteen stories, two mezzanine levels, and a roof height of 230 feet. The architecture was designed by architects who had previously worked together on Grand Central Terminal in New York, and it was the tallest rail station in the world at the time of its construction.

In May 2018, Ford Motor Company purchased the building for a planned redevelopment into a mixed-use facility and cornerstone of the company's new Corktown campus.

Back in Toledo, Ohio, the parking lot at Stellantis' Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator plant that had loads of the vehicles when the strike began is now empty. @detroitnews

What was the White House’s open border policy?

Went to the Eagle Pass border crossing to see what’s really going on

.@Toyota and @Honda are the two makes losing the most to @Tesla. Will the Prologue be enough to stop the exodus from Honda?

[Augusto Amorim @jaamorim]

If I were the @UAW I'd include making cheaper vehicles in the negotiations...

[Augusto Amorim @jaamorim]

.@Toyota is the sales leader in 97 DMAs, while @chevrolet leads in 59 and @Ford in 39. Consumers pay, on average, $41k for a Toyota, $46k for a Chevy and $53k for a Ford (excluding large pickups, the average falls to $39k, $41k and $46k).

@thepointsguy Parkroyal Collection in Singapore. The building is wrapped in plants, the infinity pool is really nice and service is great.

[Augusto Amorim @jaamorim]

The real question here: why is there a @Tesla at the Toledo plant? Are UAW members driving a vehicle built by a non-union colleague?

On UAW picket lines, there's chili, cornhole and a sense of family https://t.co/fyyTRnh89q via @Automotive_News

This moment with @realmikefox from #CGI2023 will stick with me for a long, long time.

[Augusto Amorim @jaamorim]

Delta tends to be more expensive than AA and UA and flies older planes. Service (especially Delta One) is far from what it used to be. And yet people kept flying Delta. Now they messed up with their most loyal base, and you just don't do that. https://t.co/0tbF2F6M49

This @delta flight attendant just gave a special welcome to skymiles elite members and I’m still thinking to myself that they’ll have to change their speech in a year.

Quite the #avgeek days!
