Planes, Trains and Automobiles: Transportation Companies in Trouble

The auto makers want to be bailed out. What are they going to do different if they are? I’m not sure that is why they want the bail out. It sounds like they want to keep doing what they have always done. But things are changing and that is why they are in trouble. They haven’t made adjustments to keep up.

There are airline and railroad companies still around today, but many are gone.

Are the auto makers going to wake up and make the changes necessary for their companies to survive or are they going to allow their companies to be added to the list of once was?

I read recently and idea for the auto makers. They could wait until the car is ordered to make it. Makes sense to me. I’m sure there are lots of other great innovative ideas that they could come up with that would do more than put a band-aid on the problem.

What do you think?

Car Manufacturer Bailout

I was glad when I heard that the bailout isn’t going to happen. Or have to go another round before it does. If companies cannot be viable, they need to find a way to revitalize and re define themselves or they need to fold.

This is not the first time in history that an industry mis-read the signs of the times. Look at the steel industry and the railroads. They are not the forces they once were.

The tax dollars that will go to the bailout will be from my pocket and yours. I don’t want my tax dollars to be spent in this manner. I’ve been responsible with my money and my choices. The car industry needs to as well.

They’ve been bailed out once before. Why didn’t that help? Because throwing money at a problem just prolongs the inevitable. The leaders don’t want to do the tough thing. Things have change and they need to change as well.
