I say let them all go under.
I'm sure these Auto workers could
get hired at the local Filling station.
Problem Solved !
The cars coming from overseas are so much cheaper
Maybe in a few years they would be sending us Disposable cars.
Drive them for 2 years, till the tanks empty then stop at Wallmart & pick up a new one
for $300
Seriously though, with all the vehicles already in this country,
The dealerships and Used Car lots are full.
Why do people feel they have to buy or lease a new car everytime their
ashtray gets full, or their tires need air ?
I say Drive what is already here.
If it breaks give the Mechanics
(Former Auto workers)
& Used car parts buisness,
Some of your Buisness.
Worked at a dealership for 20+ years, never once bought a brand new car. I always
bought the stuff that would usually go to a wholesaler(high mileage,the stuff you see
at those corner used car lots) .
The last one I bought (for 600 bux) I still drive, a 96 Plymouth Voyager with 150,000
miles that although starting to look a little ratty, runs and drives just fine. (admittedly it
helps that I`m a tech)
What sickened me the most all those years, was how they (being the big 3,Ford especially)
would target kids fresh out of high school, honing in on young people with phrases like "your
a legal adult now, you don't need your parents advice or permission" and others very similar.
There`s hundreds of valid reasons these companies should not get any
more help, the biggest
being the that they actually failed many years ago, on so many different levels.
Just think of this,its very possible those 3 flights to Washington a few weeks back, burned up more fuel
than all the hybrids in the world today, could burn in a hundred years, our tax dollars at work folks.
I also find it rather interesting how the UAW and their employers are at each others throats for years
and suddenly can stand shoulder-to-shoulder in an attempt to save their butts.
