CNN was so depressing this morning. it was like 6 articles about how GM is fucked and one about starving polar bears eating each other.

Now I am sad. What's going to happen to Detroit? [and the polar bears]

Yeah i totally agree with you. They're really past the point of no return. I read an article by Mitt Romney that basically said if the government bails them out without making them go through bankruptcy, then they'll go out of business in a year anyway. A lot of my family works/worked for the big 3, so it's weird. I will also be a shock to all the union workers when their pay and benefits get cut in half...

Well, GM can close up shop, everyone will leave that half of Michigan, and the EPA can relocate the polar bears there instead.

That, or GM can move into the business of making amphibious vehicles for polar bears.. 'cause there's a need there too.

They'll have to get a really big refrigerator... or shave all the polar bears.

I like the second idea

I KNOW....in general I am not a fan of the bailouts but...wow. Michigan is so screwed.

[inaglasshouse]

yeah, and even if they get bailed out, people are still screwed. They need some major restructuring. It's just amazing how much things have gone down hill in 6 months...

Yes, its very scary and depressing. plus, even though ryan's company doesn't solely supply to automakers, it's still a pretty large chunk of their business. yikes! right now they're so busy that they're on permanent OT (Ryan works 56 hours/week), so we're trying to save as much as possible in case the worst happens and if it doesn't we'll at least have money for my masters. It still amazes me how lucky Ryan and I are.
