Olympic excitement, Gordie Howe Bridge connects, and more
Manage episode 430876620 series 1412618
We kick off this Friday episode with Devon's excitement about the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the first Olympics with full spectators in six years.
Devon and Jer discuss the impact of the time zone differences, the thrill of watching events live, and the local ties with Michigan athletes competing. They also share their personal Olympic memories and favorite events, ranging from track and field to gymnastics.
The conversation transitions to a significant local development: the Gordie Howe International Bridge. This massive $4.5 billion project, the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America, is set to transform Detroit's skyline and boost trade with Canada. Jer and Devon explore the economic implications, the logistics improvements, and the community impact of this monumental infrastructure.
Finally, they touch on the recent political shift with Vice President Harris's new campaign and its potential effects on business and policy in Michigan. They also discuss the current state of the auto industry, particularly the challenges and future of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids.
