Some late-night GM bailout thoughts after conversations with a friend...
My best friend Kevin, who lives near Columbus, Ohio, offers a few thoughts.
1. Given the partnerships between companies, like GM and Toyota, exactly who would get bailed out?
2. Speaking of that partnership, he notes that dealers selling the Pontiac Vibe actually boast about how many Toyota components it has (as a twin to the Toyota Matrix), as a sales point.
3. Talking to acquaintances of his who have worked for both the General or Ford and now for Honda at its Marysville, Ohio plant, and asking them about the difference between Japan and the Big Three?
He said one guy just shook his head.
Another said, "At Ford, they just talk about quality. At Honda, they do it."
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
