I wonder if this is why Chevy customer service abandoned the forum.

If you want to to pretend GM is a shiny, happy castle in some enchanted forest and cars are built by little GM gnomes, then you came to the wrong thread. Your perogative to click on another. To sweep the problems GM faces under the rug - and discount how it may affect CAMARO production and sales going forward, is fantasyland stuff. Politics at multi billion $ corporations in America is a fact of life. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Im with a lot of peeps about not wanting to get deep into politics but...
(this is where i usually get myself in trouble, LOL...) I honestly wouldn't care if my Camaro was made on Mars by little green penguins, it's just plan old Bad A$$ and I'd buy it again. I do however care about seeing EVERYONE'S job in EVERY Field dwindle away... It's not just the auto industry or any industry, it's every industry, and it's because of Greedy Corporate America and it's really that simple. Blue collar workers are being replaced by robots & out sourcing, white collar workers are being replaced by technology & computers, local merchants are being replaced by orange or blue giants, malls & strip stores are being replaced by Amazon & Walmart, and Corporate America is cleaning up... The World is going to ch!t

I am sorry I posted this in the wrong section. Mods please move to general or whatever. Or delete if needed. I also did not intend for it to be a political subject. I did see some that agree news like this is not good for any GM product. I do not hate GM and will not be boycotting them. I will not be selling my 5th Camaro any time soon. |

It's sad that people constantly have to censor themselves because somebody gets offended when the topic turns political. Yes, its a car forum but this is a relevant topic, even if it is somewhat political. Now if someone wanted to talk about abortion or something completely off topic I would understand not wanting to read about it on a car forum. I came here to learn more about my car and meet other enthusiasts/like minded people, but I'm not going to cry when somebody makes it political. If someone ever wants to talk politics feel free to PM me your argument and I will be glad to discuss it with you.

With the exception of a brief mention of Trump asking what he would think in post 2, I didn’t see anything political until post 10 and 11 which refer to right wing war on workers and bringing in politics into the convo when it wasn’t until that point. Both sides have let big business and Wall Street sell out the US worker.

I will freely admit that I too come here as a distraction to the cacaohony of political bickering. But in this climate - especially it it relates to corporations the size of GM, politics bleed over even into a car forum. There was another thread about CA exhaust laws. It turned political , as you might guess. But it was car/Camaro related as well. Sometimes the twain meet. Viva la Camaro!

Maybe blue collar workers need to get themselves cross trained on robot repair. Maybe white collar workers need to get themselves cross trained on technology & computers. Maybe local merchants, mall dwellers and strip stores need to get online and join larger marketplaces. Workers and businesses need to evolve to survive. |
