GM forced to stop production because of faulty Chinese Parts

One week of lost production because GM thought it was smarter to buy faulty parts from China. Building parts in the USA is expensive. American workers cost a lot of money. Why pay when you can save money and pocket the difference. Sure the quality sucks but hey if it is cheaper......

I wonder if the high priced executives factored in a week of lost production. It is hard to sell $28,000 trucks when the plant is shut down. I wonder how many trucks they make in a week. I bet it is a lot. I bet the total lost revenue will be substantial.

Good move GM. It is decisions like this that led them straight into bankruptcy. I see they learned nothing.
