So every bad decision from an untalented industrialist will be called socialism from now on? Because it’s the isms that bother you and not the fact that some pitiful managers are destroying investor wealth.

If union and management can’t negotiate profitable ventures investors should go and play tiddly winks instead of propping up failures. And you could be helping by putting the blame for those failures where they lie, instead of getting your rant on about some musty old European failed experiments and scary ism’s that go boo in the night.

Wake up jeffhre – issue is not size of the car. Issue is whether it is competitive. When it is not competitive, it makes a loss, and the government will have to pay for the subsidy. Everyone gets poorer and the level of wealth in society decreases. Living standards come down.

All this hardship that society has to endure, just to make unions who have POLITICAL power (via the strike) happy and well fed.

If that is not socialism, then what is?

“Automotive is THE nastiest environment for electronics.”

You’ve obviously never heard of the aerospace industry.
