Hey, Ho!
Whatcha know?
Sai: my metal supplier laid of 25 workers a week ago.
Some were deadwood so no real loss.
Some were skilled hard workers and that is a loss (yes, there is a list of "who to call first" for rehire).
We will see but could be me next. ( I do earn my keep, so there's that...).
For a lot of "Change", there sure are a lot of old faces.
We will have to wait and see.
Hillary as Sec of State? I watched Condoleeza speak on a show today, she really is brilliant. Hillary isn't that smart.
Some Congress members would be delighted to see the Auto industry die, for reasons unknown.
There is some genuine animosity here to say the least.
If this industry fails, then the USA will be on the way down bigtime and maybe forever.
However, Chrysler was bailed out way back when and it worked out.
There is a huge risk in having whole industries die.
Chrysler makes tanks, armored vehicles, etc.
If no Chrysler, will we buy Leopard 2s from the Germans or what? Nobody else makes the Abrams.
Same thing with Colt firearms, yes squeeze and sue to gun makers almost to death was the plan, but in the end the capability for domestic production of weapons means this (gun) industry here in the USA would not be allowed to die.
I think we have to help the Big 3 (2 remaining?) along...too much to loose is at stake.
