"The choices we make, dictates the lives we lead"
A billion in a half a year compared to GM loosing how many billions a month...a month!
A billion in 6 months is a drop in the bucket for Toyota..
If you own a company in this country and have stiff competition...what do you do...you make your company better, smarter and leaner. You hire smarter people. You diversify.
I look at companies like GM that was the biggest baddest company in the world 50 years ago and look at them today. CEO's are on their knees beggin for money from the government. It's almost embarassing.
Then you look at companies like Toyota, Honda, and even Hyundai. These companies not only build cars, they build everthing the robots to motorcycles to tools to ships and even airplanes. Have you ever seen a company more diverse then Honda?
I believe there's a saying from years ago..."never put all your eggs in one basket".

Breaking unions is easier said than done!
These organizations inspire (brainwash?) their members into believing that their continued existance is justified. As illogical as it seems these people will fight tooth and nail to insure that the unions who represent them continue to do so. Any union busting in support of reforms of the Big 3 will likely result in the establishment of new unions. As such my fear is that the only way to break this cycle would be for states like Michigan to become Right-to-Work states.
