    More personal example of this devastation

    This year, my wife built a manufacturing software product for GM. She was in Detroit with a them of software developers, and she had another development team in China. They built a great product, and now GM uses it in Brazil.

    Their product saves GM millions of dollars over GM's old system. This is the sort of thing the North American auto OEMs have been doing for years. These nasty Southern senators cannot even imagine this. No union involved, just worldwide brains and hard work.

    Now, probably, she will have to get another job. GM is her company's biggest customer. She is great. She has worked all over the world. Do you have a new job for her? She can help you. Andrew Leonard probably will give you my e-mail address.
