My "tired stereotypes" are based upon direct experience. You'll note, as well, I've never blamed the workers- I blame the auto execs, the ones in Detroit who coasted along for decades without recognizing they needed to change, because the world had changed.
It's not the workers' fault.
Manufacturing jobs have gone away because the world is changing, and it's going to change more. Most of that stuff will eventually be done by robots, so in the final analysis whether people prefer Ford or Hyundai isn't going to make a whole ton of difference.
The real question is how to we as a society and a species adapt to the world of the future. The past isn't coming back.
But none of that is going to change the fact that an automobile is an important, expensive, and mission-critical enough purchase that I'm going to buy the one I consider reliable, period, end of fucking story.
