What I want to know about General Motors.........
You are begging for money now.

Please watch the movie/documentary "who killed the electric car?"

And tell us all, before we give you a pile of money, why you chose to kill the electric car program in California as soon as Bush stole the election in 2000?

Just wondering :freak:

1. Fuck those CEO's
Buy that fucking company and its debt, kick the CEO's out on their asses and let the UAW run it

Anything besides that, I am against

3. I look at GM and I see thousands
of blue collar workers,you look at GM and see 5 CEO's.The masses should not be punished for the sins of a few.Would you throw these workers out because the upper management were jerks?
If we lose hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs,they ain't coming back and no matter what industry you work in it will be affected.Everyones wages will take a hit.So if you want to sell out the whole rust belt just be prepared to live with the consequences.

4. No I don't want that
I want people to keep their jobs. I just want an answer from the GM ceo as to why they killed such a successful program.

7. What difference does it make?
Just fire them all ..... but we have to save the jobs.

NO ONE gives a fat fuck about the CEOs.

8. Lol.............
Yeah fuck the ceos! I could give a rats ass about their jobs. They're already rich, they don't even need to work.

I just want somebody in the government hearings to ask a simple obvious question, but no one seems to have a clue. Why is that?

5. I'm wondering why Americans are still buying trucks and SUVs.
Let's not blame the auto makers for giving people what they clearly wanted. Why don't we turn the mirror around and figure out why no one would have bought the electric car (and I mean en masse. Rich people and people who really, really, really believe in conservation would have, but very few "average" Americans would).
