All kinds of possibilities. Might keep the name GM after reorg, or
change it ala IH becoming Navistar or some such.
Bottom line is there will always be a Chevy.

I figure Chrysler or Ford will pick up the brand cheap.
Cheap isn't cheap enough if they don't have any money to spend.
For a $1 I would buy it.

I'll split it with you. It's always good to have a partner when you are
going into a risky venture. ;-)


As long as I get to fire the board and the senior executives. We can
discuss the unions an hour later. But GM becomes non-union. Don't need
them in the way of making profit and a more job secure work place for those
that remain.

Lots of people want a good job. CAW can be replaced.


I'll be a silent partner. You have a pretty good handle on what needs to
be done.

Perhaps they'll do as you do, pushing a shopping cart along the
highways, picking up bottles and cans for the scrap value.


Here's Flatulent Jims' cousin. He specializes in shopping carts also.

Aha! I see where your witticisms originate. Does that show have prime time
slot in Halifax?


Re-runs on cable every night.

Saw an article where Toyota is saying Canadian labor is too expensive.
That's not CAW.
Might see them start shifting Canadian work to Alabama.
Or Maylasia - whichever is cheaper.
