Yes, I'm considering that the loss of the big three American auto companies would result in many of the displaced workers finding there way into the surviving auto companies, that would need additional labour to meet increased demands for their auto products. I know that companies operated in the USA fall under the jurisdictional law of the state in which the company is incorporated, as well as the law passed by the USA legislature, and, of course, the law of the land, (eg USA constitution). I also know that the ownership in the remaining companies could be very diverse, as shares of the stock in the major auto companies are traded world wide. Still, it very common that the founders of the companies are often also the major shareholders, (eg owners), at least to the extent that they control the board of directors, so I would hate to see the American companies go out of business. It would certainly signal an end of a era of American history and the possible beginning of a decline in American influence and power.
