23. No break for you
People are going to buy cars in the USA for a long time to come.

So the question is, does that money go to nonunionized foreigners or unionized American workers?

Notice the wording in my original post, too. I didn't say American-owned brands, I said American made.

Whether or not the "opportunity for change was fretted away" does not matter to the union autoworkers whose jobs evaporate each time someone buys a car made elsewhere.

You "feel no sympathy for any of it." I feel sympathy for those whose way of life is being ripped from them because people in the USA aren't buying what they make. That doesn't mean I condone the past. But the future is the only thing that we have any input into.
