You'd think, however, that highly trained professional journalists like these writers would stop printing the urban legend about the head of GM saying that what's good for GM is good for America.
Kinda like how the Unions drove the rubber jobs out of Akron in the 70s and early 80s.
Yet Akron still votes Democrat and worships this very union...makes about as much sense as a cow voting for Hamburger Helper...
This is from the LA Times...are they stocking snow shovels in hell right now...
The union was not mentioned, except vaguely by way of the health care costs. Hard to build cars that rival those overseas with the union expense built-in and $1,500 of each car sold going to 1 employees' health care expense.
...the Toyota Prius comes standard with a faded Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker.
My Mom and Dad own a Prius. He's retired Army, 82nd Airborne. You can hardly see any paint on the back of the car because of all the Bush stickers.
oes it matter, neither Gm nor Toyota are Us car makers.
GM gave a lot to America through the years..
More than any Jap company
They have fallen on hard times..and suffer from what America suffers from,political correctness,pagan idolatry, socialism, Unions, the greed of it's managers and politicians.
Their problem isn't equality,liberty,fraternity,racism,sexism or homophobia so creating policy in these areas probably isn't the smartest approach to identifying and solving their real problem.. Which is building a better vehicle for a better price that gets good gas mileage..and that is better than everyone else's. imo
Except in the bluest counties in my blue state it really is democrats driving Hummers, who tend to be minorities as well.
Run this baby into a ditch and bash your brains out on the dashboard, they just wipe up the mess and sell it so some one else.
