How did you get the url?

I made one that I liked, but I can't figure out how to capture it to
show.

Help a brother out? :)


Tom, when you make it, there is a button to send it to a friend. Make
that address one of yours, then you'll get an email with the URL, which
you can then cut and paste.

I don't think they are making the same mistakes they did in the 1970's.

They are offering fuel efficient cars yet offer the larger cars, pickup's
and SUV's for those who can afford them without worrying about gas mileage.
Choice is good. Let's not forget that.

Their quality has also improved dramatically. That is indisputable.

What is driving them into bankruptcy are the deals they made with the unions
when they were making money hand over fist in the 50's, 60's and 70's.
Except for Ford and Chrysler they were the only game in town then and making
money......lots of it. It was only right that they share those profits with
the workers. It was also only right that the unions accepted the offers.
That was then..........this is now. Their problem is they did not
forecast what those promises/commitments would end up costing in the 21st
century when folks started to retire and collect on not only the retirement
pay but the free medical benefits. They are now paying the piper.

Let's hope they do not renege on their promises to the folks who spent their
lives helping them make money. If you promise someone a retirement check
and to pay for their medical insurance, then for God's sake make sure you
make good on your promise.

I am generally not a pro union person (except for the skilled construction
trades), but these folks accepted what was offered to them and it is time
for GM to step to the plate and continue to deliver what they promised.

Let's hope this does not turn into another Republic Steel/J&L Steel/LTV
Steel deal for these GM retirees.

GM isn't losing market share because of any deals they made with the
unions. They are losing market share because I (for one) am not ever
going to consider buying another GM product.

Why do I feel that way?
What really got my attention was parking the Canadian built Camaro
under an American flag and playing Bruce Springsteen, "Born in the USA."
Trying to fool me won't make me a customer.

One day an old guy drove up next to me at a stop light, rolled down the
window of his buick Roadmaster, and said, about my Honda, "That's one of
those Jap cars."

My reply, "My car was built in Ohio, your car was built in Mexico."

Plus, I'm holding a grudge about the Blazer I bought. Lousy car, louse
service. Unbelievably bad everything.

The Hondas since have all been perfect in all ways.

That's why GM is loosing market share.

OK, Why do they build cars in Mexico and Canada? No, the wages are NOT
lower in Canada, HEALTH CARE COSTS, that's why.

I heard Bush say that the businesses in Massachusetts won't be
competitive paying for health care.

That's our system. Bush and I agree, our system isn't a good one.

Where did I say otherwise?

Marketshare? I thought we were talking about their solvency. Declining
sales alone will not put them into bankruptsy. What will are the deals they
may with the unions that I wrote about earlier, combined with a loss of
sales.
