So can a Mazda2, or a Toyota Vios.

Options don't make a car a better quality.

Recalls and break-downs are what determine if a car is good quality.

Just have a look where Ford and Chevrolet, among other US built cars, are on the list.

The reality is the bottom of that list would be near the top of the list in 1995.  Quality across the board has been raised by modern design and production.  So his statement all companies make good cars is accurate.

 

Personally I love German cars and haven't owned an American car in years but if forced to limit myself I would not feel deprived.  Lincoln makes wonderful luxury vehicles that fit my needs.

How many years will take for Canada to build a new LNG supply system?

Not long

With construction moving safely and steadily towards completion, the LNG Canada project remains on track to deliver its first cargo by the middle of 2025. Our facility is a long-life asset and our 40-year export license enables us to initially export up to 14 million tonnes of LNG per annum.

So the US can do without Canadian oil and electricity? I'd like to see that.

 

 

 

No. Canada is going to be a territory of the US. Just wait.

This is a win-win, and will push manufacturing back to American shores even faster.

You haven't been paying attention, have you?

 

Pretty much all the major economies have seen tremendous drop in the percentage of their GDP contributed by  manufacturing of goods.  Services are the new gold.

 

In 1947 manufacturing was about 48% of US's GDP.... in 2023 that figure is now 10%.

Even Japan and Germany have seen significant shifts to services from manufacturing.  Despite those two countries instituting many policies attempting to stem that shift, they failed.

Detroit was 100 years ago. It's an empty shell for drug dealers now.

 

You're living in 2005 mate, where that might've been the case.

 

Detroit has since attracted tons of talent from the fetid overpriced ghettoes of LA and NYC.

 

Best value real estate in the USA right now aside from Chicago.

 

Buy low Sell high buddy.

 

It's not what it IS - but rather what it WILL BECOME.

Where is the money coming from for urban renewal? I doubt it is in the city tax base.

And in ‘47 the labor force participation rate for men was about 95%, now it down to about 60%
