#4I’m mostly positive about Andrew Yang but it’s frustrating to know he would point to something like this and scream “automation” when GM’s downsizing has more to do with outsourcing and a slowing market than anything remotely related to robots taking over jobs.

But they're not actually in Detroit. It's like how anyone from the general area of southeast Michigan says they're from Detroit.
The real point of TFA, though, is that GM employs the least unionized labor of the Detroit three, which really should have been the headline.

#8They are pushing production and engineering to anywhere not the USA, so this trend of having fewer workers isn't going to stop until all that's left of GM is the headquarters. I'm not Chicken-Littling either. This trend has been many decades in the making, and it only has one logical endpoint.

As someone in the market for a truck, why specifically USA and not somewhere else?
I’m looking at the Toyota Tacoma as my number one choice, but this is not a strongly held desire if there is something better.
