GM Killed Itself
My dad temporarily worked for General Motors about 30 years ago and told me about how crappy the cars they designed were. Of course it's not the workers fault, they just make them, it's management that designs them. And to that GM moving their plants to foreign countries through free trade to avoid the UAW union and we see a decline in the middle class. That has consequences as people have less money to spend on cars. People are not going to buy shitty cars just to buy American, they will buy Hondas and Kias and Toyotas and other foreign cars. Of course the nail in the coffin happened when they started embracing gas guzzlers instead of improving their fuel mileage. All of that now leads to the death of the American auto industry and the car companies only have themselves to blame.
The entire country is now Flint, Michigan.

Bullshit. Anyone who has worked for, or owned, any GM product will inform you of the high quality of their vehicles. My 1989 Chevy Surburban is a prime example… 275,000 miles on it, ALL original equipment, and it runs like a champ!
The simple fact is that the American people had no desire to purchase or the use for any of the small turd-shit boxes… GM made exactly what the people wanted… which is why GM’s top sellers were the Caddilac Escalade and the Chevy Silverado pickup truck for the PAST THREE YEARS…
Oh, almost forgot, my ‘Burb gets 21MPH highway… only 8MPH less than what an acuaintence recently purchased… a Mazada 3 shit-box.
ALSO GM has a larger product line of hybrids (why would ANYONE waste their hard-earned money on one of those pieces of OVERPRICED shit) than ANY other car company… domestic OR foreign.
Check your facts, dilrod…
