useless trivia: the 5 hedge fund managers invited to this all have 1 thing in common(other than being hedge fund managers)..can you name it?
as for gm and ford...they reaped the benefits of cheap gas, etc, and did NOTHING to improve themselves. They built suvs bigger and bigger with the same mpg as forty years ago...Part of me says "sorry, byebye" but i know there are hundreds of thousands of people who would be out of a job if that were to happen..i still think they need to change on a fundamental level. I was kinda saddened to hear toyota turned down GM's plea for help. i mean, i know they are competitors, but that just seems like kicking someone when they were down.
that said, i know gm and F will be bailed out, probably to the tune of about 25 billion...
