Psssssssttt. NOT ANY MORE. Effectively in the 1950's GM - DID, in fact,
enjoy a monopoly with 78% of the market.GM waged WAR on the independent
manufactures and by the 1960's all but one was gone, that finally
disappeared by the end of the 70's. GM waged WAR on public transportation,
first on streetcars and trolley buses, and then on buses themselves. Not to
mention passenger rail. GM also blocked ALL attempts at alternative types of
propulsion systems, specifically the eclectic car.GM is STILL at total war
blocking it in every way they can. Buying battery technologies that show
promise and then BURYING the products. GM is the MOST anti-competitive
company in world history. Not even the Japanese can compete.
