This is because in a government shutdown I want a fortress , not a factory.
General Motors is a solid proud American icon but it is also tied to consumer sentiment which tanks during political chaos, credit markets which get jittery fast and union negotiations which can flare up when the government is distracted.
GM is like holding a car that might stall when the traffic lights stop working .
Alphabet on the other hand is like the kid who brings snacks, cash and straight A grades to the apocalypse.
Alphabet has USD 100 billion plus in cash, global revenue streams , AI dominance and ads that keep printing money even when the government don't.
In a government shutdown I want to be in the Googleplex, sipping coffee, watching the politicians argue while my stock quietly compounds.
