To these anti-car idealistic morons -

o When was the last time you didn't use a car ?

o When was the last time you took ate or drank something that wasn't transported by car, van or truck ?

... are you starting to get the picture ? Without road transport, you'll be unable to survive on the planet earth we have today.

Now, if you're still intent in beating up the auto industry, consider this.

o The automotive industry directly supports a gigantic percentage of population through employment and post-employment benefits. Its probably second only to the state.

o The automotive industry supports the livelihoods of an even greater number of people who work in the supply and post sales industries that hang off the automotive industry.

o Greater still is the territiary/parasitic service industries that depend on the spend of everyone above to make a living.

o ... and finally there's the treasury and the financial institutions who make gazillions out of car sales and car use.

If the automotive industry, worldwide, dies we will see devastation, poverty and death on a level that's unimaginable. I have worked for one of the world's largest car companies, Ford, and the scale of that operation is mind boggling. When it collapses [and I've no doubt that it will], we will be lamenting the foolhardy course of action that led to its demise.

Though it may have been the final blow that killed the US auto industry, the credit crunch was not what led to its demise. That happened many decades ago when the United Auto Workers Union gained a stranglehold over the management there and systematically drove it to destruction. Its ostensibly what happened here in the UK when Red Robbo and his communists destroyed British Leyland.

Every man, woman and child in the developed world will pay an incredible price when the auto industry collapses and it will catalyze an impending equalization of wealth between the BRIC economies [Brazil/Russia/India/China] and those in the West.
