Michael Moore: Remove the Management of Big Three Automakers

"They're in the spot they're in and they've been in this spot for some time because they haven't listened to the consumer, they haven't been building the right cars ... in fact, they've not only hurt themselves, they've helped to provide some of the fodder for this economic collapse that we're facing because of the arrogant and wrong decisions that they've made over the years. Those people should be removed." -- Michael Moore on Larry King Live, Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Michael Moore is right . These people just do not listen to the consumer . They are very very arrogant . They should all be replaced.

What exposes us to failure is NOT our product lineup?

The 3 car manufacturers in USA have made cars for 30 years that people dont get excited about. By basing 5-6-7 cars on the same model over 10 years with no advances and nothing new.

Europeans stopped buying american cars many years ago not because " we hate america" we just dont want old, outdated cars and finally the americans stopped aswell.

Pickup and SUV sales have carried the american auto industry for a decade and now they are out.

@hannahkaybanana Please explain how the U.S. went into a recession because of socialism?? It was corruption and exploitation of the capitalist system by business and individuals and politicians and the government looking the other way that caused the U.S. to go into recession!! Get a clue. YOu are nothing but a mouthpiece for the wealthy. Hear this: Wealthy and elite people do not care about you! They don't want you in their class! They don't want you to achieve the American Dream!

@IslamISsick1 Unions protect workers and make sure they are paid fairly for their work. Don't blame the unions. If the person screws up the part then fire them!! Sheesh how hard is that to do. If the executives are allowing 'shitty' vehicles to come off their assembly line then they need to be fired too! These are not difficult concepts. If someone does a bad job of making the car and managing the workers then you fire them and get new people who do. Moore is absolutely right on this!

@IslamISsick1 I think you'll find it was because they were making shitty cars?

I drove a brand new chevrolet hire car a while back........to be honest I'd rather have a ten year old bmw 3 series.

@IslamISsick1

I think everyone realized that. But no media has the gut to speak it out loud!

[IslamISsick1]

He is clueless.. I work in the automotive sector. It was NOT the managers that caused the collapse. It was the UNIONS who forced companies to pay $65/hour (including benefits) to a person who screws a simple part into a vehicle. It is the UNION that caused the collapse. Moore is completely wrong!

[hannahkaybanana]

It's stupid how he complains how horrible capitalism and caused us to fall into a recession. The United States actually went into a recession because all of it's socialistic ways. He says he hated people that are corrupt so why does he expect us having more government control will be good. We will just end up with more corruption. With how much taxes he wants to take no one will ever want to start a business.

Ps. People actually still do want bigger cars. I live in Michigan most peo
