This is getting really tiring:

That's found at the end of the article.
The media
wants to lambaste GM. Why do we let them? Better yet, why do we listen to them? Money has NO clue what GM is beyond their financial figures, nor do they care.
The American public does this, too. If they don't close plants, then GM execs are the epitome of inefficient management and "we shouldn't support that." If they do close due to overcapacity (because the
sheeple let magazines tell them what to buy), then management is a bunch of heartless b@$tards...right before the holidays, of course the media slips that one in. Gimme a freakin' break.
Few realize this, but they're actually closing the highest-quality assembly plant in all of North America. Better than the Toyotas, Mercedes, Nissans,
everyone. That move is beyond me, but it shows how the public and the media are making a sport of rejecting GM, and it shows the steps they're having to take.
The American public, GM management, and the UAW did this. Sad to see what was once THE symbol of American business, THE world corporation even, crumble this way. For those who applaud it and think it's capitalism or Darwin at work, I say wait for what happens when Asia overpowers us, when we have no home companies to reinvest their money here.
The Big Two can't be taken for granted anymore. It's seriously time to stop kicking them while they are down. They do not build crap cars, contrary to what some say. If anybody builds a mediocre car and pushes it as the %^&*, it's Toyota. That's the new arrogant company in the marketplace, the one who can't make a mistake in the public's eyes.
It's a long, slippery ride downhill for GM and, I suppose, for America coming up. The two are tied together more than most Americans think. Sad to see...
