For as much change and contraction the American auto industry has gone through since the salad days (post-World War II to the 1970s), Michigan is still very much intertwined. I myself &#8212; after having gone most of my working career with only tangential work in the auto industry &#8212; am now employed by an auto supplier. My brother who lives in Michigan is an auto executive. And I have three Michigan brother-in-laws and a niece who are in the biz. It is generally a happy thing when folks are buying cars; it\u2019s unnerving when they don\u2019t.
