A move that will eliminate nearly 1,700 jobs. Thats sad. GM should be gone, or at least seriously restructured and pared down. A few times in recent history. They are lucky to have any jobs to cut! They suck. Not Trump's fault. The only way they know how to do business is overpaying, make a subpar product and beg for taxpayer-funded handouts when the shite hits the fan.

I have a congenital medical condition that won't hurt me but it's kind of vital to let medical staff know, so i have thought of a tattoo on the area to let them know, a symbol to make it obvious.

My mother in law went through cancer treatments back in the early 90s. She had to get stuck in the three same exact spots every time. Rather than the doctors measue it out, she had three pencil sized dots on her chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not like they would have died completely. Restructure. Save their decent lines. Get rid of the loser models. Redo the contract with overpriced non-skilled labor and maybe they could have survived and made money. Forced to adapt, evolve as a company to compete on an even playing field with every other (almost every other) car company. Not just run to daddy government to get saved every 15 years or so.

Isnt that what they did? Restructuring the company and killing off weaker lines? Around that time they got rid of Saturn, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac. 32 minutes ago, Teddy KGB said: All of your outrage belongs in PPP. Start an awesome thread.
