Today is a day of Grand Victory over capitalism with the shut down of the NUMMI plant, a blow to the evils of the private sector economy. More than 1,000 former wage slaves will now join the wonderous welfare class, a sign that we are winning!
To the rulers of the state of California, keep up the taxes that have driven 40,000 private sector employers from the state in a decade. Keep tightening the regulations that will squeeze every last private sector job out of the state, we shall be victorious!

The NUMMI plant is a sad story all around. If GM had taken the right lessons from NUMMI's success when it started, they might have been in far better shape today.
ReplyDeleteI know you probably hate all things NPR, but I urge you to listen to the most recent This American Life, which is all about NUMMI's history. Seriously, I promise it's not some big management bashing session or UAW love-in.
