Very true. This is the domestic auto industry shooting itself in the foot and to boot spending lobbying dollars to do it. The history of US manufacturing being a source of pride for automakers is also over - the people with tribal knowledge have been laid off or forced into retirement. Foreign brands are the majority of owners in US auto manufacturing now, it's a complete reversal of US dominance in the niche and these moves only accelerate the demise of these companies. We are 5-10 years away from seeing another major domestic shutter operations.
