GM is in no way failing. These were one-shift plants, which are unsustainable for any automaker. They're plants that produce cars out of favor with most Americans, ie. sedans, and it allows GM to restructure half their division in order to move towards electric. This is similar to Ford moving mostly to their trucks. It's a plan that's a long time in the making.
the real villain is cadet bone spurs who made outrageous promises that he has no ability to deliver on.
Canada, Mexico, and the US leaders have all signed on for the new NAFTA deal. We'll see if the Dems do the right thing and ratify it next year. Read a story yesterday, Ford is retooling its US factories for more SUV production, rather than shutting down the plants like GM is. Good on them.
