bbbbbbut I thought that the reason the Big 3 were in so much trouble was because they did
too much for their employees????
YUP!
See, the one point that escapes all of the TOYboy/import nameplate defenders is that the very things they all adore their foreign company for (draconian efficiency, J.I.T. supply mfg., 95%+ robotics, etc.) is the VERY thing that will mean 90%+ unemployment for the U.S. (and Canadian) autoworkers, if and when they put the Big 3 out of business (like soooo many of them are more than willing/hoping to have happen
).
Shouts of "free trade, global economy, open markets"
NOT going to help unemployed, sick, starving (and even dying) U.S. citizens.
One cannot eat/live on/stay healthy on the foreign consumers'/defenders' economic "principles" (as much as they help/benefit the
rest of the world).
