The auto industry killed itself by bowing to UAW demands You can't
have mediocre employees building ****ty cars for $75 an hour and
survive. When they moved to right to work states where they could fire
non-performing employees and pay a market wage, they recovered.

Detroit failed because all the actual working people left and their
tax base evaporated. They were left with hugh pension obligations from
the public service unions and that money left immediately too, because
all of those retired cops and firemen live here in the south

That is the point Texas is making

You must not remember the cars of the later part of the '70's and the
80's. That's when the U.S. built junk, and the Japanese pounced.

I absolutely remember the cars of the 70s (by the mid 80s they were
actually starting to get a little better). It wasn't just the 70s. US
cars were always junk.

I also remember you still had overpaid UAW people joking about leaving
a Coke can in a car door to drive the rich ******* who bought the car
crazy.
Johnny Cash was in the top 10 with "one piece at a time".
At the same time Japan was starting six sigma programs and quality
circles, building cars that lasted 200,000 miles.
