> For a person who is all about ethics, morals and values…it seems odd you would support “low cost factories”…aka sweatshops. Not saying that GM is the most efficient company by any means but to let an american car be built overseas in a sweatshop isn’t very american.

what is american about building an overpriced car that isn’t even worth what they have into it when it goes on sale? the company is shot, bankrupt, they need to restructure and the costs of manufacturing are the issue. I don’t care, close the doors.

not all cars are built in sweatshops, so lets not be confused here. The market dictates salaries for jobs… an assembly line worker maybe shouldn’t make almost $40/hr and shouldn’t cost a company $80/hr to hire. This is the problem and there are only a few solutions. Ford seems to be doing ok being “american”, why is that?
