As for these workers losing their jobs, I'm sorry, but I have little sympathy. Some people chose to goof around in high school and college and now they pay for it by having little to no job protection. You can't expect ANYONE to set you up for life, you have work hard and earn it. That right there is the major problem with his country, a lot of lazy people who just drag their way through life, whining that they don't get any brakes.
Offering another product choice is a lot different then attacking our country. Not a very fair comparison.
I work on skills that will be valuable everywhere, not just here. If American companies start providing products that are superior, they won't have any problems either.
I'm buying a Camaro SS...but not because an American company makes it. It's the best car for the $ that suits my needs...and I think the car is going to do well because of it. Build a quality product that beats the competition and you'll do well.

First -- Chevy makes more cars that get over 30mpg than anyone.......
MORE than Toyota
MORE than Honda
MORE THAN ANYONE......(go look it up!)
Compare our fuel economy apples to apples with Toyota -- and then talk to me...........
(the Tahoe 2mode Hybrid has similar city fuel economy to a Toyota Camry -- yet it can carry 8 passengers - -comes with 4wd as an option -- and far outperforms the Camry with a 5.3 liter engine....)
Next -- go do a price comparison between -- oh - say a Malibu and an Accord and a Camry -- and then go price a similarly equipped Impala - -the Chevrolets are a bargain and they have a longer warranty.............
As to the remark about some people goofing off in high school -- .............no job now......I hate to be the one to break this to you, but there are many many many many many very educated people out there that are unemployed..........
.........and trust me -- the Dayton area is gonna feel it when Moraine Assembly closes in December........
My comment about 1941-1946 was about how people in this country sacrificed so that we could win the war.
I'm not sure how old you are - but you may not be aware that Gas/Sugar/Rubber/Etc were rationed......people made all kinds of sacrifices so that the United States could win the war.
And win we did-- for many reasons - but one of them was
>>>>We outproduced them<<<<<
We DO offer products that are superior -- go look at the many studies that prove this..........
So............perhaps I can't convince you --
But I can assure you that if the American Public at large does not wake up -- and SOON -- what you see now is a walk in the park - -a veritable Picnic - as to what is about to come.
Sorry -- I don't make up the rules -
