I am a veteran, but not one of the true veteran heroes. The persons who actually lost their lives or significant body or mind parts, along with their heroic and deeply saddened families, defended us most!
This 20 year old draftee landed in Japan during the still unsettled Korean War and began building his 50 word Dr. Seuss vocabulary of Japanese. 'Watashi' means "I". Writers dis[play selfishness when saying I too often.
Customer Service is long gone in this world in the latter 20th and early 21st century. This writer is not unique in making this complaint.
General Motors showed their sense of Watashi this week with their selfish declaration of layoffs in America and switching their country loyalties to advanced automation in China.
China is moving up in the world's economy with Automatic Intelligence (A I). They have stolen much of the USA's capitalist technology. GM selfishly is moving on with them while deserting their American Customers and workers. The leaders in car production (once upon a time) consider that they can pick their products and customers while deserting the semblances of their Customer Service in loyalty and gratitude for America.
You may realize that China is a communist nation. No communist country has ever succeeded for their citizens as a nation.
This conservative Christian writer wishes GM no Success in their selfish venture, being only one of current American population of 326,766,748, who apparently does not appear to matter to GM. GM literally lost out by not being as smart in the auto business as the Japanese and other countries, in my honest opinion. That is competition in the USA.
But this from 'only a Customer'. Customers matter to any business. Forgive me for suggesting that this "Watashi" matters!
