Well, yes. True. But... They are closing their foreign factories first. When Renault has to choose which plant to close down - the one in France, or the one in Slovenia - no rewards for guessing which one will be closed down first. No rewards for guessing which plant has the most work now - the one in France, obviosuly. And if Chrysler and Ford have any foreign factories, Im sure that those places were the first ones to get screwed.

speculators dont have much to do with it. the average person doesnt have the money to spend on new cars yearly right now. they are not moving plants so much as closing them. a few weeks at part pay sucks, perhaps, but its beter than a closed plant.

Oh, whoopedy - fucking - doo... Fucking speculators. Over here, there isnt enough work, because all the foreign companies are moving work from here to their countries... If Renault closes down the plant here, there will be thousands of workers laid off, not to mention those that work for subcontractors... If Renault is doing what Ford and Chrysler are doing, theres going to be a revolution here. I suddenly understand Freezes annonyance with the French.
