You ever drive by the parking lots at the Tech Centers' in Warren or Auburn Hills and notice the quantity of Japanese makes in the parking lots? It's all the Temp workers these morons like Wagoner love, mostly from Asia, who remain loyal to thier Asian brands while collecting a us automaker paycheck.
are you kidding me? you do realize that GM sells more vehicles outside the US than in the US, don't you? you do realize that GM [[before the financial collapse) was profitable outside the US and that those profits were used to subsidize the US market operations which were bleeding money like crazy, don't you? you do realize that some countries have laws preventing a certain % of the profits from leaving the country [[ie Brazil, China) so GM has no better option than to reinvest in those countries, don't you?

i'm guessing you didn't realize all that. global expansion is a good thing for GM and is the only reason they didn't go out of business years ago.
