Okay, so here's my theory. The death of the U.S. auto industry was a bigger deal than I think we realized. Maybe a harbinger, hopefully not, but perhaps a harbinger of what happens to the country going forward. So Detroit dies, and people are like, oh, Detroit's such a mess. My wife is from there, so I've been there a lot. But you never thought that would happen to the rest of the country, right?
Oh, no, we're going similar ways.
We are. That's exactly right.
I live in the greater Toledo area, and that's baby Detroit.
Toledo. Exactly. Home of champion spark plugs.
Yeah. Yeah, no longer.
So I guess the question is, if we want to prevent this from spreading with the cancer that it clearly is, I think it's important to know the cause of it. So why did the auto industry, which was the most important non-defense industry we had, why did it die?
I would say largely regulation and the nature of trying to find more profit and where you ship things. It was a lack of pride in having a workforce in the future tomorrow. And those are the two things I would stick with. Because since, you know, in my opinion, you know, I've been a car guy for a long time.
Wait, you didn't mention the unions. Everyone blames the unions for the destruction of Detroit. Yeah.
