that attitude was fine when there was work for everyone, manufacturing was done internally, people employed because they needed manpower
Times are very different now, they sold their manufacturing off, just like us, mostly to China, their car industry relies on Gvmt handouts to survive like ours did until the current Gvmt stopped the support
