Re: [FWDLK] Where is everyone?



Amen, there is absolutely no accountability for the poor performance of management at all levels in US industry. Only change I would make is that they should be escorted to the nearest grand jury for arraignment on fraud or malfeasance charges.

It used to be "Made in USA", then Congress changed the law so that "Made in America" was OK. the dumb american public thought that was the same. Years ago, Chebby big cars were made in Canada, railed to Janesville, WI and had final assembly point: "Janesville, WI" on the MFG plate. What they did there was have guys go down the line of cars and install the right hand rear view mirror. Honda built their US plant in Maryville, OH, and started building cars eventually with 95% US content. The US top execs would come down for tours to see how they were building so efficiently, with no union, and took home nothing. Can't teach them. Honda tried to join the AAMA (Big three assoc.) and were told no, "You're foreign". This while most US cars were built in Canada and Mexico. Now we're down to 2 1/2 US mfg.. and they may go. Can't teach them! Let it happen, maybe Honda, Toyota and others will buy them up and make them successful.

Which ever way it goes, the top 4 levels of execs should be fired on the spot, with no exit packages and no bonuses. Same for anything else the Gov. takes over, walk in, excort the execs out, and replace with qualified people responsible to the Feds.

It's not just political correctness, it's also about manufacturing reality. BMW, Mercedes, Subaru, Nissan, Toyota, and others all build cars here while our big three have shut plants here and opened more and more plants overseas. I love my PT Cruiser, but it was built in Mexico while a cousin of mine's Subaru was built in Indiana by Americans, using a lot of American-made parts. So what does "buy American" mean any more?

Maybe it just means buy and keep more ForwardLook cars. Nothing more American than that.
