it’s not just Detroit
Got a link to this opinion column from my dad via email today:
http://www.freep.com/article/20081123/COL01/811230371
It’s by Mitch Albom, whom you probably know of as a sports reporter in the Detroit area who looks like what I thought Fred Savage was going to grow up to look like.
No?
How about as the “Tuesdays With Morrie” guy? Or the “Five People You Meet in Heaven” guy?
Anyway, read the column I linked to above and ask yourself why officials in the government aren’t rushing to bail out the auto industry like they are banks and insurers. This has a big impact on me as well; I’m from the Detroit area originally and work now for a German auto parts supplier. If Ford and GeneralChryslerMotors* can’t buy parts from my company, people get laid off here, and other places, too.
