Well I agree with you on not supporting the government bailout.

That is over, as of this morning.

This is a new day. Whether you support Ms. Barra or not (I do so far) she’s not doing the government’s bidding.

It will still always be Government Motors to me. I was still avoiding buying Toshiba products for their sales of advanced metalworking equipment to the Soviet navy long after the Soviet Union was dissolved. I can hold a corporate grudge a long time.

Too frickin’ late. GM is dead, dead, dead to me. Never, ever again will I buy their vehicles.

Um, no.

How much shareholder wealthe was destroyed when traditional bankruptcy rules were set aside to allow a “new GM” to be created and functionally gifted the assets of the old GM, which was allowed to die?

And how did the GM unions fare in that deal, relative to the shareholders and other creditors,

Sorry, it’s anything but a “new day” for GM. Having the govt divest itself of the ownership stake and seeing the appointment of a new CEO doesn’t even begin to address the fundamental wrongness of how the “bailout” was handled.

Anyone who buys a GM product is complicit in, is an ex post facto enabler of, that wrongness.

So, we should support every rep that voted for obamacare because, well, the vote is over now?

Just another version of, “what difference at this point does it make.”

Ok.
