What’s survival? Not being taken over by the government?
They did it to the oil companies, they did it to the food producers, they did it to the grocers.
They couldn’t order parts, they had no market. Why would they stay?
Is it something now that companies should just survive?
This is the equal of the left thinking companies exist to provide health care for their workers.
My guess... GM noticed there was very little to be gained by staying in the country anymore and was looking for an exit. Government got wind and... GOTCHA!
