General Motors is on its knees begging for cash from the U.S government.

I was watching some bailout thing a few weeks ago, one of the speakers did a quick query to the CEO's.
"Who here today flew here on a commercial airline and not a private jet, raise your hand". /no hands raised "Please note, no hands were raised" "Who here today plans to sell their private jet and fly with commercial airlines after the bailout, raise your hand". /no hands raised "Please note, no hands were raised" |

People that buy 6 litre engines don't care about fuel prices and keep on buying them.
People that buy 6 cyl family cars care about fuel prices and gave stopped buying them. |

All those car companies are pretty s*** though, probably should have bought a good company out like Ford then they wouldn't be in such a financial mess. |

I was watching some bailout thing a few weeks ago, one of the speakers did a quick query to the CEO's.Recently (like in the last month or something) the CEO's Ford and GM said they will work for $1 salary and have sold their planes and drove using economical cars to some meeting they were having. Not defending them but just saying. |

^ yeah its great to know that the pollies care more about retarded symbolism that might get them some cheap votes than keeping the jobs of the workers.
All those car companies are pretty s*** though, probably should have bought a good company out like Ford then they wouldn't be in such a financial mess. ford isn't insolvent, i wouldn't exactly say they are in good shape though. |
