LS2POWA,

.In your quote you say, or quitting early like Harbor did. I do not quit at anything I find justifiable cause to consume my time and efforts.

LS2POWA, In your quote you say, or quitting early like harbor did. I do no quit at things that justify my time and efforts. There are times you must disengage and evaluate if it is an intelligent decision to resume the discussion. In this particular case I found no rational reason to spend anymore energy.

To BigKen and shalenss, HUTCH

Ok boys and girls. The North v. South, East v. West war is over!

If this isn't the place for you then that's ok too, but in true southern style, ya'll are welcome here anytime

We're not the Big 3-4 sites, just a Florida based family site full of Corvette enthusiasts

That said, it's time to stop the name calling and finger pointing and get back to the thread topic...the Big 3 bailout.

Now that they've gotten thier money, what do you think they'll do with it? Will it really make a difference? Already there are still plans to close plants, they just annoounced layoffs of workers yesterday and there's still a planned stoppage of production for the coming months.

Not that any of these things are necessarily bad in the long run, but everyone seemed to think this money would prevent job losses....your thoughts please and please stay on topic or we'll have to shut it down and start over.

Thanks,

management

I think they need to make full disclosure on how OUR money was spent. Down to the very last dime. They may have just allocated most of it for fat bonus checks and mega golden umbrellas for the top fat cats and just fold up anyway.

Has ANYONE talked to anyone at all who WANTED the bailout to happen? I certainly didn't! Every single person who I talked to where this topic came up did NOT want it to happen.

I'm afraid their accountability will be no better than the banks...and all I hear at this point is that they don't want to discuss it with the media reporters who have simply inquired as to how much of their portion of the bailout money have they spent/how much is left. I'm afraid we have given the auto industry billions of dollars to sell 5 million dollars worth of jets. Damn the UAW, pay the workers a livable wage (what they're getting right now should do nicely)and forget the benefits until they get back in the black. I would much rather know I have a job and can pay my bills than get the boot because the union is holding out for something the auto makers can't pay for. I think the union had it's place a long time ago, but it has gotten bigger than what it can sustain today.

Funny! Jim Jones' cult was actually drinking Flavor-aid, not Kool-aid. Poor Kool-aid. I guess bad publicity is better then none. Merry Christmas.

Z, Im not even gonna waste more than this bit of space on your response...

Im not a homosexual...your sister would vouch for that...thank you for your contribution to my financial well being
Nope, we need to bomb them more. None of this pussy fear of "collateral damage". Then we don't have any more enemies left! See, violence is a viable solution to any solution!

Anyway, it's a joke. If you were really here just for your own entertainment then you wouldn't have taken it so seriously.

But back on topic, I talked to two people who liked the idea of the bailout. They both work at GM. And one was a Canadian. But it's okay, the CEO's will get massive bailouts, just as with the banking industry. So let's all just put on a happy face and rejoice in the knowledge that we have kept dozens of CEOs from losing their livelihood. We're so totally ****ed, but they will be okay.
