  • CEOs make more money using sweat-shop labor overseas;

    they don't care if Americans can't feed their families!

    But we're supposed to believe it's Muslims who hate America's freedom & prosperity?

    Nah, I think it's the CEOs & bankster fat-cats who hate those things, because it means less money for THEM.

  • and america can't build consumer products using robot technology in 2011?? WTF. something fishy is going on. AMERICA HAS BEEN IN AN ACTIVE STATE OF DESTRUCTION FOR THE 40 YEARS THANKS TO THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT AND THE WTO AND FREE TRADE. WE HAVE BECOME A NATION OF FATSO BEER DRINKING TV WATCHING IDIOTS WITH BROKEN FAMILIES AND DEBT BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS

  • You should haev put tons of video effects on it seeing as how you dubbed crap music over it.

  • when skilled Men were skilled Men providing for their families. . . no coachbuilders here. . .

  • Incredible footage! Forgot how labor intensive and how 1-functional this manufacturing assembly line was.

    Even better to compare this video to current robotic assembly lines where few workers are seen, and it is almost all machinery doing compound functions.

  • Hollywood is a place where lies are born and filmed

  • because of these camera angles and stuff I have noticed the fakeness of war footage in world war 1 and 2

  • This is how a car should be built,none of this micron thin steel monocoque crap,spot welded and the rest snap together plastic parts.Motor manufacturers baulk at the idea of building quality cars.A quality car lasts more than five years and can be repaired.The whole idea behind modern cars is for the consumers to have to keep buying new cars.They dont want to build cars that last a lifetime as sales will drop.A good comparison is a disposable lighter versus a Zippo,modern cars are "Disposable"!!

  • Wow, no one knows what the music in this video is?!?

  • Why can't you idiots making political comments do it in the appropriate forum. This a video aboue AUTO ASSEMBLY! It has nothing to do with politics whatsoever! I don't understand why you morones have to spin EVERYTHING into politics or corporate greed! GET A LIFE! Go occupy a port-a-potty somewhere!

  • This speaks to my soul on levels i didn't imagine possible

  • very excellent film superrrrr
