Goodbye, GM
By Michael Moore
As I sit here in GM's birthplace, Flint, Michigan, I am surrounded by friends and family who are filled with anxiety about what will happen to them and to the town. Forty percent of the homes and businesses in the city have been abandoned. Imagine what it would be like if you lived in a city where almost every other house is empty. What would be your state of mind?

The Future of Manufacturing, GM, and American Workers
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "We should stop pining after the days when millions of Americans stood along assembly lines and continuously bolted, fit, soldered or clamped what went by. Those days are over.... Any job that's even slightly routine is disappearing from the US. But this doesn't mean we are left with fewer jobs. It means only that we have fewer routine jobs, including traditional manufacturing. When the US economy gets back on track, many routine jobs won't be returning - but new jobs will take their place."
