GM vehicle? Not me.

and I wonder from everyone posting who actually has any experience to what gm, chrystler, toyota, ford, etc are doing... any of you actually work in a plant, for these companies, for a supplier, for anyone who has to do with any of this?

If not, why even talk about it. It's just the same as those news reporters who print first and ask questions later.

Why talk about it? It is just a tad relevant to everyone who lives in this country seeing that the auto industry is one of our most important industries. In fact, it is relevant to everyone in the world today! I don't see how not talking about it would help.

Agreed.

That plus the fact that I've now been thrust in as an owner of the company.

I'm biased because I work as a contractor in a GM plant. I will say I want them to survive. I see every day where there is wasted money, on people and supplies.

This has happened in one way or another at every company I've worked for. Though in this case it's on a larger scale due to the size of the company.

What gets me is how people seem to be on a hate train over the auto companies. Or the Unions... or whatever. They have their faults, they have their benefits. It's all screwed up.

Problem I see is the lack of factual data being provided by the haters. There is some from time to time, usually twisted to the numbers that benefit the speaker most.

Just looking for open minds and the like.

Failing business should fail. The government is rewarding failure (bailouts) and punishing (taxing) success. This is not the America that our founding fathers envisioned. The federal government does not have the constitutional authority to bailout, manage, or direct private industries.

We are BUYERS. This gives us the authority to talk about it. BTW the company i work for is a supplier to auto manufactures. I think everyone has a say in this.
