67. Unbelievable
There already has been a case of a company being nationalized. It's called British Leyland. That company sank incredibly fast, because the workers always got more money for less work, producing probably the worst built pieces of crap to ever roll down a road. By bad, I mean wood trim coated but not sanded, power locks that trapped people in cars, trim pieces falling off, engines not working rolling off the assembly lines, horrible paint, cars showing up without window glass.

You want product quality to get worse? Most of the UAW doesn't give a rat's ass about the cars as long as they get paid and go home after 8 hours of work. Build quality starts with them, and they clearly don't give a fuck, so no wonder the cars turn out badly.

And you want to turn the company over to them?
