Do you now appreciate the ferocity of my criticisms? Who kept saying, "Make even more of this crap. Keep stifling innovations that existed even in 1975."
Why is Ford not in the same trouble? Ford started fixing itself almost ten years ago - only just got started. It says how long and bad things must be for GM and Chrysler.
For well over 30 years, GM stifled every innovation except when Federal regulations required it. Americans who bought GM and Chrysler products anytime in the 1990s have themselves to blame for today's problems. "Buy American" voted them (ie Rick Wagoner, Bob Nardelli) to run the American economy. Now we must all pay because they enriched the wealthy - even blamed the unions for shorting the pension funds.
GM forgot to put $20billion into their pension funds and $10billion into their health care funds. Guess who now pays for it. All through the 2000s, shorting pension funds was acceptable to that administration - as long as GM reported profits. Only profits mattered - as any stock broker or Wall Street banker always said. So we pay for their lies. Appreciate why my accusations have been so accurately ferocious for so long – alongside “Saddam had WMDs” and business school concept about profits (screw the product). Of course we all pay today because we believed lies from wacko extremists and business school spin many years ago.
When do we start paying for "Mission Accomplished"? Time to be smart was many years and decades ago.
