Gosh, if only we could produce crummy vehicles that started falling apart as they were pushed off the car lot, then we could employ a ton more people to produce more crummy parts to fix them and pay them a lot because everyone would need to buy something all the time.

Ah, now another flip argument. You think BMW doesn't make raplacement parts for things they know will fail over time. You need to wake up and smell what you're shovelling. There is a BMW plant less than a mile from me, right next to the local Chrysler facility. I don't need to shore up my argument, that's what you're attempting desperately to do.

Please, I would hope that I'm still awake enough to not be seeking to shore up your argument. :-)

My point on that recent post is that something else will come along to employ people in some form as long as people are willing to move. As someone here stated earlier, buggy-whip manufacturing employees shifted to work for Ford.

The same holds for today in other ways. The auto industry would come back, too. And to think that France would be the only suitor and not others from here in the US is really pushing it a bit.
