Hey now!! Everyone is at fault. Unions - who should make $40.00 - $75.00 per hour, plus unbelievable benefits, for screwing parts together - the same parts, day in and day out. People in San Antonio (if you catch my drift) can do the same thing for $8.00/hr.
Management: my main complaint about GM is why are they always the last one to catch new trends.
It's like the federal government - no matter what party you subscribe to or vote for - they are ALL crooks (OK 90%). Take away their money incentives. Take away lobbyists. Then see how pure America gets.
I live in Houston area (Harris County). The county is building a $3+M "Pine Derby" mountain. The hauled in - the dirt hill is about 50' tall - a huge amount of dirt. It sits on about 5 acres. Maybe you can google it.
Anybody own a GM product in the 1970's, and have to replace your transmission at about 60K-75K miles. Ridiculous.
Mutter, mutter. If I were just king - I could get this straightened out. Mutter, mutter.
