'Take all notes that all the industries of cars and motorcycles in the world, including Germany and Japan, will hold up, as always, with State aid!!!!!!
When finish state aid those industries fail.'
You are obviously a globalised free market ideologue. In China the government owns most of the factories, they d on't seem to be doing too badly ? During WW2 the US congress held Roosevelt to strict guidelines about how Lend Lease was to apply to the British. They were not permitted to use it to prepare for the post war world. The Russians however were allowed to d o that. Germany and Japan's industries were rebuilt under the Marshall Plans, however the US's main allie was the subject of emnity and petty jealousy - it's empire was devolved, and it was allowed to struggle and it's industries fail through relative lack of renewal. WW2 was fought with that objective in mind along with the main one of firmly establishing the trade position of the US and of course winning the war. I suggest the best industrial situation occurs where there is a balance of government and private interests, as occurs in defence manufacturing in the US. In Australia these days there is little R&D done by private companies, most of it used to be done in government establishments which no longer exist. So we have gone backwards - no jobs for scientists such as myself .
I believe one half of America would have been happy if Hitler had won, they certainly treated the British shabbily.
As far as motorcycles are concerned, the Harley Davidson two stroke GP bike was OK, and a Buell is almost decent - the rest have always been RUBBISH. The British know the meaning of one very important word - SUBTLE.
