I'm sure you read the trade papers and reports, since you know more about Chrysler than I ever will. The decision for the last 26,000 jobs lost came directly from Germany. (Where are all the Viper engineers? Fired! Check the new Ford GT engineering list for some of them.) Because you are so well read, you must know that many analysts questioned the closing of the Plymouth brand for anything other than a short term profit (they are now past the profit spike, and have a major hole in their product lineup for "Affordable Transportation" (read that: a Value Line)
I have been through your town, and it makes your statement about job loss even more ludicrous. Do you know what even 20,00 jobs lost means. 20,000 employees without income
80,000 family members without income
100,000 ancillary and service jobs lost
400,000 their family members without income
This is not a devestated town, it is a whole region.
When multinationals cut jobs for profit - shareholders benefit, America loses. Plain and simple.
Like I said much earlier in this thread:
Good Guy / Bad Guy - depends on your perspective.
You seem to be rooting for the shareholders, the majority of whom are not American.
