where did the saying "as goes gm, so goes america" come from?
i have done google searches but i cannot find the origin of this quote. does anyone know who first said this and when? i need it for school and would like to credit who said this.
this actually originated as something charles wilson (the president of gm) said during a congressional hearing in 1953.

wilson was asked whether there was any conflict between his job and becoming secretary of defence.

"“i cannot conceive of one because for years i thought what was good for our country was good for general motors, and vice versa. the difference did not exist. our company is too big.”

i cannot find how it became contracted to the more generally quoted "as goes gm, so goes the nation".
it is variously attributed but probably originates in a newspaper article.
this my “jam of the week” to use a dated term from my era lmao. 🎶the ones that hate me the most look just like me, you tell me what that means🎶where was this song for me when i was in high school? that pretty much describes the experience😂 here is a very good article on how to get better score in gre

‘-가지고’ veut dire “et alors” entre deux phrase comme je l’ai utilisé tout à heure. ignorance, poor education, instilled with that from parents, fear of someone who is different, fear of things they don't understand, fear of change, hostility towards people who they perceive are doing better than them, irrational fear of people they believe are trying to take their jobs or worsen their life situation in some way. i could list another dozen. and everybody is a keyboard warrior on social media saying things anonymously they'd never have the guts to say to someone's face.often times, it's a combination but irrational fear and insecurity is usually present. one of the best jokes i've heard that exposes the hypocrisy of racism, fear of immgrants, foreigners etc. is:"if you think immigrants are all criminals, rapists and killers and you think immigrants are all coming to take your jobs, what the hell do you do for a living?" kayla gardner bus 206­uy study guide exam i week 2: globalization ● globalization arguments (pick 2 of each) ○ for: ■ it creates more jobs in all economies. ■ it creates better jobs in less developed countries.  ■ there is more foreign direct investment (fdi) and  economic growth. ■ it pr a person's memory is actually made of different parts and each part has different possible causes for memory loss. in general, memory problems can occur from alcohol abuse, mood disorders, psychosis, stress and anxiety, psychological trauma, head injuries and dementia. however, at your age, you may simply have too much to think about and this may cause problems with "working memory". see more... bible scholars overwhelmingly agree that john didn't write this passage. it was most likely a story about jesus that people passed down orally and was added to the gospel later. here's a source for further reading: https://www.bibleodyssey.org/en/passages/related-articles/manuscript-history-and-john An increase in the level of production of goods and services (national income) of a country over a certain period of time is referred to as economic growth. Higher level of investment in education sector would lead to higher proportion of educated people working with higher participation in economic activities and, therefore, would lead to higher economic growth. The following are the various ways in which investment in education stimulates economic growth: 

**(i) Imparts Quality Skills and Knowledge**: Education endows people with quality skills and, thereby, enhances their productivity. Consequently, it enhances the income earning capacities of and opportunities for the people. Moreover, it also enables the human capital to utilize the available physical capital optimally. 

**(ii) Develops Mental Abilities**: Education develops the mental abilities of people and helps them to make their choice rationally and intellectually. Education churns out good citizens by inculcating values in them.  

**(iii) Acceptability of Modernization**: An educated public of a nation has greater acceptability of modernization and modern techniques. This not only helps the economy to grow but also facilitates a primitive economy to break the shackles of tradition and backwardness.  

**(iv) Eradicates Skewed Income Distribution**: Education not only increases the income  earning capacity but also reduces the skewed distribution of income, thereby, forms an egalitarian society.  

**(v) Raises Standard and Quality of Living**: Education enhances the income earning capacity of the people, thereby; it raises the standard of living and also improves the quality of living.  

**(vi) Increases the Participation Rate**: It fosters economic development by increasing the participation of people in the process of growth and development.  

**(vii) One Solution for Other Economic** **Problems**: The importance of education is not only limited to making people educated But also in facilitating an underdeveloped economy to solve different but interrelated macro economic problems like poverty, income inequality, population, investments, under utilization of resources. Definition used:  

Congruence.  

Let m be an integer greater than 1. If xand yare integers, then x is congruent to y modulo m if x — y is divisible by m. It can be represented as \(\displaystyle{x}={y}{\left({b}\ mod\ {m}\right)}\). This relation is called as congruence modulo m.  

Calculation:   

Consider the values and congruence classes modulo m,  

\(\displaystyle{\left[{13}\right]}^{{{6}}}\) and m = 15.  

It is evident that [x]=[y] if \(\displaystyle{\left[{x}={y}{\left({b}\ mod\ {m}\right)}\right]}\). Since \(\displaystyle{13}=-{2}{\left({b} \ mod \ {15}\right)}\).  

Then,  

[13]=[-2]  

\(\displaystyle{\left[{13}\right]}^{{{6}}}={\left[-{2}\right]}^{{{6}}}\)  

\(\displaystyle={\left[{\left(-{2}\right)}^{{{6}}}\right]}\)  

=[64]  

Since, by the principal or congruence \(\displaystyle{64}={4}{\left({b}\ mod \ {15}\right)}\). Therefore, \(\displaystyle{\left[{13}\right]}^{{{6}}}={\left[{4}\right]}\) in \(\displaystyle{Z}\_{{{15}}}\).  

Therefore, the value of the expression is [4]. I'm currently writing a Markdown powered CMS, which adheres to [Commonmark](http://commonmark.org). Their [help page](http://commonmark.org/help/) is quick, easy and to-the-point.
