The Big Three US automotive companies

• kerkeslager 2y ago
  There are a dozen reasons I can think of off the top of my head for why US automotive companies are not competitive that have nothing to do with subsidies.

    You should list them. Ya know, cause you asked for a list, we gave a list (of which this is one item) and now you're claiming that there's an unnamed "dozen reasons [why not.]" Don't just stand there posturing, argue your point like the rest of us or get off the stage.

      > You should list them. Sure! - Private healthcare in the US driving up the cost of labor. - Landlordism driving up the cost of labor. - Inability to automate away labor due to unions. - High CEO pay. - Inability to fire poor-performing workers due to unions. - Poor engineering due to lack of US investment in education. - Short-term-ism where executives and shareholders are motivated by quarterly profits rather than long-term growth (in contrast with i.e. Toyota). - Higher cost of labor caused by needing to attract workers to places with poor urban upkeep, like Detroit or Flint. > cause you asked for a list I did not. > we gave a list (of which this is one item) Where? I don't see it.
