I really hope they can pull out of this because so many thousands (if not tens of thousands) of businesses depend on GM to themselves stay in business.

Without a complete overhaul in their "culture" this trip will be a short one. I hope they clean up their Execs and managers during this process.

GM, like every other large OEM, will need over $1 billion per month to just stay in business, which will taper off, until they get profitable. So that is maybe $10 billion(all those bankruptcy savings will cut that $1 billion / month). Who gets the rest? I guess closing dealers. Maybe $1 billion there. Suppliers. Not sure how much.

The longer it lasts the more it will cost. I don't believe for a moment that we will escape with only 50 billions in the hole. I am sure it will be at least twice as much. Then Fritz will be replaced for Schmack. I hope it will end shortly. The longer it lasts the more it will cost. I don’t believe for a moment that we will escape with only 50 billions in the hole.
