You tell me the cost per unit. Then compare it to per stock dividend paid out, per pension check, per workmans comp policy, per 'suits' paycheck, per assembly line paycheck.....per windshield....per shock absorber, per gas cap.... that is all number rangling. Same thing you do everyday.
I asked you a legit question centering on the fact that you will sell a vehicle to someone that is already upside down and make them more so. This IS a fact and you KNOW it is which is why you are so pissed off. Hey, you have every right to do so and people are fools for allowing it to happen to them. The point I am making to you is that this has been done for a long time and people are tired of it....
I went on to ask what I did in my example to show you another area of problem. The hit people take when you "drive off the lot" ( actually when you sign the title) has people seeing that it just isn't worth it to buy a new vehicle, especially when financed.
Claiming healthcare is THE problem is silly. MANY problems exist and I was simply trying to show you a couple very real ones.
Too bad you went into defense mode and tried to avoid answering very simple and real questions that would have allowed the conversation to continue.
You are claiming that healthcare is eating up the profits....I am showing you that lossed sales is doing the same thing and a couple DIRECT reasons why they are falling....why they drew 'discounts'. I am showing you that ALOT of things eat up profits and suits paychecks that are FAR beyond labors is one example, Healthcare would be another. Healthcare however is not totally GM's ability to manage, suits crazy paychecks ARE. Customer treatment IS.
What you do here is attempt to defend GM from things they are responsible for. While it shows loyalty, it lack basic reality to the scope of the problems and thus the solutions.
In many ways, GM has made its own bed and now they do not want to lay down and take a nap in it.
