Obama’s inauguration on the 20th is not a coincidence

GM is dead, so if Ford and Chrysler. You can only build garbage for so long untill the public finally says “ENOUGH!!” I put over 350k on a 450ho modified 2 litre Subaru WRX and its still running strong. There is no way any domestic car can achieve such power with that much reliability from a 4cyl motor. Thats why Japanese cars are respected all over the world and American cars are laughed at. The Brits call them Yank Tanks, The Germans call them Slow Death Traps. The Japanese call them Shameful Displays of Engineering.

After 30+ years of “quality” cars customers have walked away for good.

Now finally executives in ties and UAW workers will join together at the unemployment line.

Naw, Johnny. Those kids are being raised in government housing so chances are they’ll end up as unwed pregnant druggie mom loser drop-outs like all the other presidential punk offspring.

I knew there was something about that date. Is this so the non-denominational types can pay homage to their savior?

Extend shutdown to Obama inaguration? not surprising. Just make sure not to pay the employees anything so that you can make the unions hurt or do whatever it takes to destroy the UAW

It’s a beautiful life! If GM pays for UAW members after official plant shutdown, it means they will get payed for each hour on vacation! I think it is fitting: if they are well compensated to produce crap that they produce, it is cheaper for GM not to produce crap and still pay

Does anyone remember Sopranos episode when mobsters were sitting on construction site in Newark in order to get payed? UAW guys can sit on beach in Florida and get the same benefits. Life replicating art!

At least they’ll have paychecks going into the Holidays. Not that there will be much to celebrate given all the uncertainty. But, the alternative would be much worse.
