It's amazing how quickly history is forgotten. Cars manufactured in Detroit in the 70's had become a national embarrassment. Ford stood for "found on road dead" or "fix or repair daily". It took the Japanese to force Detroit to clean up its act and start competing. We were studying in business classes Japanese management techniques. Now, free trade is bad. Get ready to pay more for inferior products.

This happened in other sectors as well, US manufacturing quality was pretty bad in the 70's & 80's.
