R.I.P. General Motors (1931-2006)

General Motors ----> (Rest in Pieces)

Rust didn't kill'em, Customers didn't kill'em....

SUCK ASS Management and the UAW *both* killed GM.

NOW.....just watch and see all those UAW Retirees
whose pensions and health coverage will shortly
EVAPORATE into Corporate Swiss and Cayman Island
bank accounts.

Bye Bye.....y'all should have bought a Toyota or a Honda.

(Las Vegas says 50/50 that a Chinese firm will offer to
buy GM for pennies on the dollar later this Year and
Bush will be blamed for it....ROTFLMF-NAO)

They paid ridiculous wages to high school dropout to do manual work and
ridiculous salaries and bonuses to worthless business major lizards who
served as management. No wonder it is going under.

 

Wouldn't that be a gas, mom's apple pie GM owned by China.

 

I hope those that leave GM take there severence pay and buy a Honda or
Toyota!

Does that mean you are happy in your job at McDonalds and all those people
that made GM number one in the world were stupid and over paid?

Does that mean it will be OK to buy Toyotas that are made in China. Surely
you don't think Toyotas will still continue assemble their cars in the US
of imported parts when the can make them so much cheaper in China with those
same parts do you.

 

Making a part or a electronic circut board is far different than moving
your entire operation to China. I'm told by reliable sources that China
is difficult to do business with. If I owned a car company, I would buy
parts but I'd never move my entire facility or in other words be
completely dependent on China, no way no how.

 

WWND?

Mike! Why do you even bother to feed these mindless idiots. They are
probably the ones who will support Wal-Mart to the end also. These fucking
idiots don't realize what they are doing to themselves and their country. I
will not buy Jap shit, because of this mentality, and also was a mechanic at
a toyo dealership, knowing full well that the quality is no different than a
domestic. Wal-Mart is a company, along with a few others, that is surely,
but slowly, killing the N.A. economy. And these fuckers are the ones that
will shop at these places, guaranteed.

 

Eventually all cars will be made in China - just like shoes... but that wont
happen until the Chinese can keep their electricity on for more than a
day... infrastructure upgrades are coming in 7-10 years over there, and you
can count on cars being made there.

 

The unfortunate part is the average person has no idea that the reason our
manufacturing jobs are leaving the county is because of US consumer greed
and that THEY are ONE of the greedy consumers sending their own jobs off
shore LOL

Better tell Toyota. According to Automotive News they are building a plant
in China, as well as one in Mexico, as we speak.

I guess you are not familiar with the Twin Gouges dam, the largest in the
world, right? Do a search you will learn something for a change

Mike _is_ a mindless idiot.

 

Perhaps for far East sales? I cannot imagine they abandoning their
plants here and having to ship product back here from the far East. I
thought that is why they built plants here.

Maybe US auto manufacturers could buy a clue and start producing
vehicles that meet my requirements. If greed means "knowing what I
want," I guess I'm greedy.

 

Mike,
The people who made GM number one are long since gone. The people there
now are managing the well-documented slide and trying to simply stabilize
the marketshare.

The started assembling vehicles in the US of foreign parts in plants built
in this county with taxpayers funds to escape import tariffs. Those tariffs
no longer exist.

Twin Gouges dam? WTF are you talking about. China is building the Three
Gorges dam. Do a search you will learn something for a change. Twin Gorges
(Gouges?) is a dam project in the Northwest Territories.

 

Had it been proposed here in the U.S. it would never have been
constructed. Maybe this is the defining moment between China and the
U.S. We have deconstructed the U.S. with rules and bans. Having said
that, I'm all in favor of protecting the environment, but there is a
fine line which must be drawn and politics must not be a factor.
