Slave Cylinder Hell
I'm on my fourth Slave Cylinder in less than a year, and it just started leaking. 
WTF is up with GM OEM parts? Are they building them just as cheaply as they can? Does ANYONE sell reputable parts anymore? I guess I'll try O'Riellys or NAPA. I'll be damned if I'm going to give the General any more of my money for one of these &*%$ junk Slave Cylinders. 
End of rant

Because of the lack of oversees unions and lower cost labor, most American companies have to choose between foreign labor or going out of business.
I suppose the issue is whether we support the rest of the world by cutting them in. If we shut them out, they build bombs and get pissed. It's probably not fair that a country which industrialized the world (USA) has to back up and literally employ 3rd world people in order to maintain world peace.
I think quality is a big issue in this country, but it's only a small part of the problem. Ranting a GM doesn't really address the problem.
