If you let your wife-beater T shirt husband beat the hell out of you everytime the police aren’t there, why would you expect anything different? Because the police paid his bail last time and let him and his buddies out too? What do you expect?
SUPERB analogy
This stuff makes me cry, much of my family worked in the auto industry and I was a die-hard Pontiac guy back in the days... until the brand only produced hideous junk and then vanished from the face of the Earth completely
It’s a damned shame. I guess we’re gonna have to start breaking things down for the Democrat voter to understand in terms they know.
Like the rest of the U.S. economy, it's like the Titanic, the front part of the ship breaks off and sinks, those in the back part think they're safe...then.....
Trillions in borrowing can paint a nice faux finish...eventually reality bites you in the ass.
That former bomber plant (Willow Run) is NOT IN Saginaw, Michigan. it is in Ypsilanti, MI. Also, there is hiring going on at several plants, Toledo, Ohio being one. Manufacturing in the US will never be the way it was, how can it? This administration is determined to destroy the middle class.
“I guess we’re gonna have to start breaking things down for the Democrat voter to understand in terms they know”
What you referring to, bribery or force?
lol
Michigan is never coming back imho
IT is all consistent with Obama’s plans/actions to quietly create a post America world. Its about dismantling, diminishing, and destroying American ability.
Its that overwhelming bitterness at work.
We need a American in that office.
FUBO
Thanks Madison, I should have known that... been by both before, and worked in MI
Conflicting articles called them both the “Arsenal of Democracy” plant, but the one the Chinese bought is Saginaw... not Willow Run.
Corrected on my site, much obliged sir
And what does GM have in Toodly-do? I only know of the Jeep plant
The Willow Run plan wasn't anywhere near Saginaw. It's in the eastern part of Ypsilanti Township, about 100 miles from Saginaw.
I should mention that China definitely is pushing hard with GM. Hummer was sold to the Chinese.
Toledo has a GM PowerTrain Plant—Transmissions. They took the work from the Willow Run plant, which has now been closed, and moved it to Toledo. The two plants were always in competition with each other and Willow was rather old. Sad.
Problem with the Willow Run plant-any transmission plant actually—is the supposed demise of the combustion engine.
(PS I’m a ma’am. LOL)
Regarding hiring at ANY auto plant in US: about as much chance of obtaining a job as winning the MegaMillions Jackpot. The odds are probably worse for the job.
Did We Just Bail-Out GM with $80B Only to For Them to Move Most of the Company to Communist China?.
Wonder if unions have played any part in it?.
Either way all thank you cards should be sent to Obama&Co.
Yes, GM and the regime ripped off pretty much everyone. I’ll certainly never do business with them.
That said, going forward, how would you suggest GM deal with the largest auto market in the world?
Build cars in the USA, ship them to China, and lose money?
Sit on the sidelines and watch other companies make money?
Build cars in China, sell them in China, and make a profit?
OK Ma’am
My dad worked at Ford’s Cleveland Casting Plant, built in WWII and also essential in the war effort
And recently razed to the ground, although a new engine assembly plant and other older facilities remain there on Brookpark Rd next to Cleveland Hopkins Airport
Conflicting articles called them both the “Arsenal of Democracy” plant, but the one the Chinese bought is Saginaw... not Willow Run, as noted above.
As for Hummer... the Chinese have already developed their own clones of the car as well. Private companies can do as they please, and I understand building cars there for the Chinese mkt.
Where we run into trouble is $80B TARP bailouts with NO concern by the Obama administration for US jobs. They seemed to focus on aiding the UAW, so only incompetence and naivete could explain allowing GM to run off to China... and with R&D too, you know the Chinese demanded that in the deals.
Problem, thy name is OBAMA
An example of why Marx promoted ‘free trade’ (the unfettered movement of capital, freed from all political, national and religious shackles) to speed up the onset of global communism.
