One of the first problems to hit Obama's desk will be Detroit and how
to bail it out. Might I suggest that the development of automation
might be a part of the answer. The industry desparately needs
restructuring.

Automation that eliminates the current union contracts would help.


It will never happen. I figure at least two will have to be dissolved
into bankruptcy before the unions change their mindset. There
are two sets of managements that require mindset changes: the
coroporate management and, more importantly, the union management.
