Great history. And now: Don't buy a car designed by the government. It will be overpriced and worthless. Don't buy a car built by the UAW. It will be overpriced and worthless. Don't hire an ex-UAW worker. They will be overpriced and worthless.

How about when they sold trucks to Hitlers Storm troupers, look at films and pictures from WW11.

GM purchased local electric trains and trashed them to sell buses, LA was not the only victim.

Not to mention their friends and investor, Standard oil selling oil to Hitler.


GM killed the electric car, suppressed electric car technology, and crushed 150,000 EV1's that millions would have purchased, saying they would not sell!

GM killed themselves no one helped. Glad they are gone.

Maybe the new GM will be managed better, but I doubt it.
