Title: [Politics/Econ] better be onto a sword. Post by: Aske on March 29, 2009, 02:55:27 PM http://www.indystar.com/article/20090329/BUSINESS/90329006
Good riddance, scumbag. Title: Re: [Politics/Econ] better be onto a sword. Post by: MFAWG on March 29, 2009, 06:08:55 PM Quote Wagoner joined GM in 1977, serving in several capacities in the U.S., Brazil and Europe. None of those capacities had much, if anything, to do with actually designing or manufacturing vehicles. He's a money guy, and proudly announced when he took the helm that 'Manfacturing automobiles would no longer be GM's core business'. So, GM went into the consumer credit and home mortgage industries to an extent that no other manufacturer had ever considered. Title: Re: [Politics/Econ] better be onto a sword.

It's not a surprise. Automobiles are no longer products that manufacturers can make a profit selling. They're just delivery devices for gasoline. Title: Re: [Politics/Econ] better be onto a sword.
