Is this the end of GM (Or Ford and Chrysler)

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Pete E. Kruzer, May 31, 2009.

  1. Is this the end of GM? I think it might be the end of Ford and
    possibly Chrysler. The Government will own GM. They'll have an endless
    supply of money. Look at UPS and FEDEX. The Government told them, "You
    can't deliver letters."
    What's to to stop them from telling Ford or Chrysler, "You can't make
    trucks." "You can't make vans." Or SUVs.
    The Government owning another company scares me.

  3. Yes, from city to city. When did UPS put an envelope in your mailbox
    or hand you a package with USPS stamps on it.

  4. But then, GM and Chrysler could continue to exist, and
    will make vehicles designed by Congress and Al Gore.
    They will have to be subsidized by us as taxpayers, of
    course, until Congress also passes laws forcing us to
    buy the products.

    And WHY would they use stamps? They use airbills, as does FDX.

    Since you have it all figured out, why not cut to the chase, and FOAD.

    Well, I'd like to see the Fed own the energy and telecommunications
    industries. One car company is no big deal. Keep in mind that the
    government is none other than you.

    Are you going to revert to your Saul Alinsky "Rules for Radicals"
    tactics again?

    It's not unlikely.
    Now that Gov is calling the shots, they have the power to bend the
    industry rules to their liking.
    What an opportunity to change all cars to those Al Bore wants.

    When are you going to drop your Nathan Thurm performance?

    And yet, they thrive. And the USPS is running in the red.

    Your analogy has a gaping hole in it.

    And UPS is in fact carrying First Class and Priority USPS mail.
