the whole thing stinks.. no one was tried to 'bail out' bennigans when they closed and 20+thousand food service workers got canned.. fuck 'em they should have seen this coming years ago. Isn't that what they pay the high-muckity-mucks multimillion dollar salaries for? geez.. I saw this coming..and when the last little news blurb about them not wanting to produce smaller more efficient cars in favor of the more expensive and higher profit trucks and suvs'... I don't know.. I've never bought a new car and if I can help it I never will. here's my little idea. offer a deal to one of the 'big 3' and the first one to jump lives.. the others can fend for themselves.. the deal is that the company has to sell all of their vehicles at a 1% profit margin(to repay the debt over god knows how many years), be subject to intense accountability where a non-profit company (ideally a german or japanese efficiency/quality control company)will scrutinize every little damn dime.. as well as hold employees accountable for their actions (the thing in the industry in which I work.. if you can't do the job.. and do it well... BLAM! you're canned so fast it'll make your head spin. then again I have stayed away from the corporate segments because they encourage (thru inaction) laziness, incompetence and a profound lack of..of.. just caring about your job..pride in your work? ) and produce cars people actually want and can afford.. the new volkswagen if you will.. anywhoo.. that's ,my little bit..
