What Ruined the Big Three

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

A quick description of the events that brought America’s Big Three automakers to their knees. First, they had to assume responsiblities assumed by governments in other developed countries. Second, they were not quick enough to respond to changing demands, causing them to lose market share to the Japanese. Having lost market share but having assumed responsbilities usually shouldered by governments, they were preassured for money and neglected R&D, engaged in badge engineering. Third, they did not prepare for the end of cheap gas and the SUV craze – Toyota did, and, despite exploiting the SUV craze as well, prepared by fostering a green image through bringing cars like the Prius to the market, even though they were not profitable in the short run.

Presidential candidate Ralph Nader (subscribe to the Nader channel http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=votenader08 ) has a good video about the wall street bailout, I’ll play you a short clip and also a clip of Chomsky talking about capitalism in the real world .

Nader is right, the bailout is yet another example of socialism for the rich which has been the game that’s always been played.

I recommend this CD of Noam Chomsky talking at Harvard in 96.
Chomsky explains that the free market theory sold to the public is just a fantasy. He shows how in the real world, different rules apply to the rich. the rich make sure they have the nanny state to take care of themselves. We are being played for fools. Let’s get the word out.
