Kodak Alaris Sale

Sounds like Detroit, which was annihilated by the decline of the auto industry. Cities should work night and day to be as diverse as possible to avoid consequences like this. No one thought that GM and Kodak would implode the way they did, and yet it happened all the same. Good thoughts do no sustain a company. Competent management is what does and both of those companies are legends when it comes to mismanagement, especially Kodak. Just look at the difference in outcomes between Fujifilm and Kodak. Two more start outcomes are harder to imagine!

I think the auto industry is doing pretty well (at this time). It just left Detroit and is situated around Detroit. In the 2008 time frame the industry did collapse, and that helped seal Detroit's demise, but the demise was in motion long before that.

Doing well? GM is now on its 3rd week of a strike and one of the largest plants in the US (Lordstown) shut down. That facility was massive in size.

I would hardly call the US auto industry doing well. That is a customer base my company avoids at all costs.
