> wow. i am reading _the fall and decline of the american automobile industry_ by brock yates currently. it debuted in 1983. he pointed out the mistakes GM made back then. it is stunning to see the same thing happening 23 years later. Part of me wants to see GM go down for the mistakes they have made, but i dont want to see all of the employees get screwed by the corporate criminals who will loot the company before it falls.

more retirees will get screwed then employees… They just shear outnumber active employees.

Suddenly You have half a million households that have nearly nil income, no pension, and no drug benefits.  
And ofcourse, the millions of stockholders stand to lose a fortune.
