You get your ass kicked on one thread and limp over to another thread (that would have died on arrival if not for your lame “bumps”), and try and save face.
You are pathetic.
I’ve answered all you seemingly clever questions over at the original thread. Yes, even the Toyota’s made in US plants Q.
You know I’m not a protectionist, yet resorting to trying to convince others I’m extreme is your last hope to gain an upper hand. Pathetic.[/quote]
Rt.66: Let’s strip away all of your extraneous bullshit and tortured logic and strip this down to PRIMARY and CONTRIBUTORY factors regarding GM’s demise.
PRIMARY factor: 1950s: Organized labor negotiates unduly burdensome and expensive concessions from GM that, over a period of four decades, ultimately help bankrupt the company,
PRIMARY factor: 1970s: GM management decides to ignore the impact of the oil shocks, changing consumer tastes and the foothold Japanese car companies have established in the US and keeps designing large, fuel inefficient designs that mostly use the same chassis and frame style (resulting in consumer charges that “all GM cars look alike”),
CONTRIBUTORY factor: late 1970s – 1990s: US government (on the state and federal level), in an epic failure of foresight, allows tens of thousands of US jobs to be outsourced or lost due to an inability to overcome the union/organized labor lobby and a byzantine tax code that allows US corporations to circumvent US tax code. Additionally, countries like Canada and Mexico induce US companies, through a combination of incentives, including far lower labor rates, to move manufacturing operations overseas or over the border(s).
Do you see the timing now? Tell me where I have it wrong, please.
