Read up on the "Model Cities Program" and I think you'll see what I was talking about, even in regards to automation.
In terms of if GM had gone bankrupt, I think any supplier that was competitive at the time would still be here today. They may be supplying their goods to a different manufacture along with some other hardships, but companies that are competitive and in control of their workforce can make those changes when the time comes.
- ricardobeat 13y agoI think you underestimate the size and breadth of car manufacturing supply chains. Its very common for suppliers to build new factories/warehouses near a car manufacturing plant solely for them. You can just "make changes" if the plant is shut down.
- duck 13y agoI probably do underestimate it since I haven't worked directly in that industry, but I completely realize that fact. That is why I mentioned hardships. It might mean they have to close/resize assets and entire towns could be effected, but to say it would wipe them out I think is a stretch.
