That 100,000 dollar Lincoln in Doug’s video has Vitro glass. AKA Mexican glass.
Vitro is one of Mexico‘s biggest companies and one of few along with Cemex, Corona, and Bimbo to survive the 1994 economic collapse that saw us overhaul our monetary system (we literally changed currency)
Vitro is huge, and they make automotive glass for many companies, didn’t know FoMoCo was part of it. This expansion apparently came with the purchase of PGW autoglass.

Vitro was on the verge of collapse a few years ago, and now they’re buying american assets as of they were a true hails-from-an-industrialized-country entity.
Im proud of them.

I doubt Vitro moved PGWs glass out of...well... Pittsburg
But do not underestimate the Sada family, they spent billions of pesos bringing german beer brewing equipment (and master brewers) to Monterrey just because they wanted better beer.

Did they buy the German brewers too?

Yes, bought their souls and rendered them slaves to living in Monterrey, a terrible plight
(Subtle regionalist joke)

Don’t we all? (Want better beer.)

Yeah, but you don’t see me importing Germans to achieve so.
They took the Manhattan project road of bringing Germans to do things we didn’t know how to do.

There is a PGW plant about 20 minutes from where I work in the Pittsburgh area. I actually applied for a job there a few years ago.

Yeah, the purchase was recent, it was PGW architectural glass first, then automotive.
Even before the purchase Vitro already made a crapload of architectural and building glass, to the tune of most of Mexico’s skyscrapers and the Walt Disney hall in LA

Technically “America” includes Mexico, so it’s right on!

The only way to MNAGA is when Trump chokes on his KFC

Mnaga is also the sound he will inevitably emit during this chocking event
