I don't disagree with any of that. The poster I was originally replying to above was saying we shouldn't shut down the automakers because it would put thousands of people out of work in one sentence and then saying we should forbid them from making their primary source of revenuein the next. I'm just pointing out that these are effectively the same thing. You can't taking a company with a 50+ year infrastructure built around doing one thing, tell it to stop doing that overnight and expect it to stay in business and continue employing 100,000 people. It just doesn't work that way.
