OK, I’ll reword that. Hummer might be bought by a Chinese company ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > Who builds it? Not china, not GM either. AM General makes our Humvee’s. That being said, The humvee is a piece of shit thats getting phased out soon anyway. Good riddance to the hummer brand, not only were they ugly to begin with, they sucked at virtually everything. As shitty as our economy gets, and as dumb as our politicians are, our military is not going to sell itself off. They get a huge portion of the tax budget they can afford american made stuff. ---

It was a boat anchor of debt for GM. People need to realize business is business. The government, as hard as they try, can’t control suck. If you suck, you fail. If you don’t you succeed. ---
