You're brushing aside the fundamental problem here which is the regulation of the industry itself. Automobiles are way more regulated than firearms or drugs; some asshole in his garage can bang out a car but he can't sell it in white market, regulatorily compliant kind of way.
>We need a banking/stock market collapse to restore confidence in our workforce by bankrupting publicly traded companies.
Even if the current metastatic supercancers died it wouldn't change anything. It's terrible that companies are trying to invent new electric engines to make and sell a car when it (making a car) is something we've been able to do in a mass production kind of way since the 20s and a fairly small business could easily do just that with how far automation has come, but there's no point; it's not legally a car, you can't sell it and have it used as a car. The reason why manufacturing is a second thought is because the actual industry is regulatory compliance; it's the same sort of bullshit as pharmacology R&D. If it wasn't someone would undercut the market (car parts are not being sold anywhere near the cost of labor + materials), whether from inside the country or otherwise (and of course, hicks etc. do in a chopshop kind of way but aren't a relevant market force in those areas under rule of law). The reason people haven't is because they can't (legally i.e. in a way that can be scaled up easily) because they aren't allowed to.
Oil and natural gas are kept honest, and regulators are kept honest, because what they deal in is fungible and so domestic producers are directly competing with foreign producers. I can tell you that the working conditions you're describing extend more or less fully to shitholes like south asia because I get stockholder reports from those companies and the actual nature of the work demands those practices. Supermassive companies like shell have the worst records but even they are beholden to the actual process of extracting or not extracting oil.

Niggerman's job title is
>director of manufacturing strategy and planning
and he's giving an interview to bloomberg. He doesn't talk to people that make cars. He probably doesn't talk to people that talk to people that make cars, at best he probably talks to people who talk to people who design cars. I don't think that he actually believes it has a stigma, and I don't think that it actually does. I'd be blown away if people actually cared about (or were aware of) employee relations issues from thirty years ago or more.

Hey kiddo/agent, you forgot to sign out of google (mozilla?)
There IS actually a suspicious activity page, incidentally, but it's just bitching about invalid referral links the same way manga scraper sites do, and copypasting the direct link to the article itself works every time
