My old 1992 GMC Sierra SLT 4x4 may have been the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
Short bed, extended cab, 350 V8, dark red, silver pinstripe.

I drove that thing all over - and ACROSS - the country.
Totally reliable. It was an excellent truck.

Maybe the best pickup truck that I will ever own.
The one pictured is a different red. Mine was a burgundy color.

The highly skilled workers are most likely Americans. Americans are the people Mary Barra wants to get rid of. GM has hired many Indian workers who are paid less than American workers. Under the foreign worker visa program, the Indian workers bring their families to the US, and spouses usually get jobs here too, through the visa program. The foreign workers send their children to public schools, where the children usually excel. The foreign workers have access to our woke healthcare system too.
We must remember GM is ‘owned” by our government due to their financial bailout during the Obama years.
The bottom line with the Biden administration and Global Companies seems to be, import people from all over the world to take American jobs with open borders and import foreign workers through the H1B visa program to take American jobs on the cheap.

We were sold this on the promise it would lower prices. How is that working out?

“She will be seeking bailout.”

GM received a huge bailout in 2008-9 and the UAW received a big pension fund bailout. The justification for the taxpayer picking up these costs was saving American jobs. Now CEO Mary wants to increase attrition in the US. Can we the taxpayers have our 2008 bailout money back?

Remember “Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive” ? Braindead moron strikes again.

Now that I think about it you're right, but GM was a basket case before she took over.

Obama stole money from GM bond holders and gave it to the UAW pension funds. Rattner was the man who did it.

He should be dead
