VW Defends ICE For Jobs

there are plenty of inefficient ways to create jobs, but even the dumbest politicians understand that they make no sense.
all of vdubs happy talk about ev's aside, they won't go down without a fight. and getting the labor union behind them might be a savvy way to do it.

 

Recall how German labor leaders and local politicians are on the board of VW and you understand the difficult position they are in. In addition to the profit today pressures, it is jobs and their protection that are represented and may inhibit long term thinking.

 

Just wait until the dealers get into it. The service appointments are going to drop like a rock, and that's quite a bit of profit for the dealer.

No but there are jets. $350/pp for a 6 hour flight (1 connection) versus 10-12 hours in a car. We just got back from a weekend trip as we do most weekends. Airports are easy even today.

 

Wow . . . With this logic - veggie & fruit packing industries should have never automated. We went from this;


To a room full of machinery, doing the same thing - not a single flu virus getting passed onto your tatters & oranges.
But heck, you want to create jobs? With that logic - get rid of all the parking lot sweeping machines - hire a couple hundred folks with brooms! This is the logic they have in Oregon with hiring people to pump your gas. I'd rather the gas pumper folks use their time more wisely ... do something usefull ... head in to the 7-11 mini mart & fetch me a large black coffee.
Where's the pity party for the poor slobs shoeing horses & making saddles & stage coaches that lost their jobs when cars came along. German politicians ...

Toyota might be keeping Prius production in Japan for the jobs.

 

Oh well ... at least they build a bunch of their land barges here in the US.

.

 

Not to mention they sell a lot of Priuses there.

 

i have no problem with vdub moving all their production back to germany to create more jobs when they go all bev's. i suppose all the american workers who will lose their jobs will be dead by then.
