If you dont think technology isnt a problem you are kidding yourself. Its a blessing and a curse.
I am saying that IF the govt. does the right thing...companies WILL build in the U.S. and will hire people right here in the USA.

It's a proven fact. And yes...BMW is like any other company when it comes to weighing their options financially. Tax breaks, no union headaches...and they built in Greenville/Spartanburg...not Detroit.

As for VW in Tennessee...they gave the workers the option to put in the union. They were not FORCED to do that. And the workers said "no". The UAW tried to FORCE them, but failed. And that community has a great employer there now paying great wages and great benefits...without the union's unnecessary expense and hassles. Again...NOT in Detroit.

If the environment is correct...business will thrive. People will have jobs.
