AlterNet reports:

Illinois governor Bruce Rauner watched his anti-union bill called, "Right-To-Work", die a swift, cruel death in the House [May 14]. [...] The the tally [PDF] was 0 yes votes, 72 no votes, and 37 voting present.

Fun with math: The Illinois House has 118 members.

A handful of Republicans went for a walk during the vote, not publicly falling on one side or another.

    The lack of quality then was of a degree that even the Chinese couldn't hope to match.

    During that time, the USA manufacturers were competing with Japanese manufacturers for various components, such as bolts and other fasteners.

    The Japanese companies undercut US manufacturers on price. What no one knew (at the time) was that the Japanese parts, adopted by US manufacturers, supposedly built to the "standards", were sub-standard. Thus, US autos began to fall apart, and were perceived to be (and, in fact, WERE) of a lower quality than Japanese products.
