If GM would have been forced to agree to the same system of engineering and sensible employee policies and work rules that Japan has had since WWII helping GM wouldn’t be a problem. You not only managed to totally misunderstand the heart of the problem which is that GM refuses to manage itself like it gives a damn, you also managed to blame the customer for refusing to buy crap.
GM had DECADES of warning that this crisis was coming and for all that time was supported by millions of loyal customers who were rooting for them to improve and cheering them on. Now those same people are seeing their tax dollars taken to ensure that the failed system stays in place and never changes. Had GM faced the music it would have come out of bankruptcy with a lot of people in their corner. GM has no one to blame but themselves and they’d have gone under in the 70s had not the public badly wanted them to succeed.
Only a complete dolt could compare this situation to post-war Japan or Germany. Geez, buy a clue the next time you get your head out of whatever it stays stuck in while you type.
have a day
