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.

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.
 
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 ;)

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.
