You and a gazillion other self serving Americans voted with their purchasing power.
For decades you have sent a message to American industry and lawmakers. You said “I don’t care about American companies or American jobs” I would rather go with the hope that “I” will gain a tiny personal advantage by buying a Hyundai, Honda, Toyota…..
The result? Decades of stagnant wages. What did you think would happen if we shipped hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs with benefits over-seas, with nothing (equal) on the horizon to replace them?
We need to replace those jobs of actual productivity with something right (even if it produces next to nothing really)? Enter the FIRE economy; problem is….that’s not sustainable and actually will have a lasting negative effect relative to the temporary jobs it provided.
The Gov. needs revenues and the economy needs “industries” right? Enter another bogus “industry”; the Cap and Tax horseshit, wonderful. Let’s chop GM down, ship real jobs making real stuff to China and replace them with some more hocus-pocus ala-FIRE BS.
You import buyers deserve what we all are getting.
Italy gains Chrysler and Opel, China gets GM jobs and Japanese automakers gain an even greater American market share. Self serving, narrow minded Americans get their Accords, supporters of American industry and GOOD jobs get the shaft.
Admit it, the truth will set you free….. Just say it……
“I wanted a Honda because I thought “I” would gain an advantage by owning it over supporting an American company”
I guess to you people the better countries won huh?
