60 bucks an hour to make sure a robotic arm isn’t putting the cup holder in the wrong place?? Sounds ridiculous to me. Also, it’s hard for me to think of them as private companies when tax payers are forced to subsidize them everyone the economy tanks...
I’ve never bought a new car, American or foreign, and will never do so. I’m not interested in funding some union that will turn right around and donate to Democrats...

Ford didn't take a dime of public money.

So you're sure that the executives at Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Daimler don't donate to Dems?

It said “costs” and not “wages”. There is a difference. It’s amazing what a corporate employee “costs” even if their actual wages aren’t that spectacular. All those “employer paid” perks such as benefits, wellness centers, EAP, etc all all to those costs of having a worker install cup holders.
But if you buy a car and the cup holder is in the wrong place, what would you do? Would you just accept it or would you demand that it be fixed? That costs money too. An hour of warranty work costs the manufacturer more than an hour of factory labor.
It is often a good business decision to pay a premium to get it done right the first time because rework and the bad feelings that a shoddy product cause are extremely expensive.
