that camaro probably won't see the light of day from the factory, i think there are already one or two done by companies, the monster vette is also cancelled, along with the rear wheel drive impala we were supposed to get, pointiac may be cut down to about 4 models, same with buick, saturn may be sold, they can't give hummer away.
here's a bigger problem, chevy dealers are closing by the gross. my friend as of tommorow is unemployed. the chevy dealer she has worked for, for 29 years (and has been in business for almost 50) is closing it's doors.
this stimulas plan will be nothing but golden parachutes for the people running chevy into the ground. the dealers, admin., mechanics, etc. will never see a penny of it. i know a lot of people think we just voted jesus into office, but whether your dem or rep, our countries habit of throwing blank checks at problems without any supervision of those funds, is what got us here in the first place.
the b.s. statement of paying people so much, to attract qualified people is just that b.s.
we've instilled a reward for failure attitude in our society. kill your wife, move to florida and play golf, run disney into the ground, give him 10 million on the way out the door.
as long as business goes in the direction of selling the most, instead of the best, well never get out of this spiral.
right now, i still think the $ is going in the wrong direction. giving it to the same people who caused this problem in the first place..... that old saying, insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different outcome.
you know? everybody is bangin on the union workers for this mess, and though it's part of the problem, who do you blame? a guy who gets what he asks for, or the people who are too weak to negotiate a decent contract? the same people who give themselves stocks as incentive to do a job they are already over payed to do. blame 30-40,000 people for doing a job, or those few who make more than that 40,000 combined and use the company as an atm to buy 30,000 dollar desks for thier office, or use the corparate jet as a personal taxi? blame the workers who get a turkey for christmas, or the managment who have week long, all expenses paid exursions to country club locations?
this country was built on the backs of the common worker, the same guy who gets screwed when the "management" can't do the job they were hired to do.
you know? i'm third generation teamster, but when i was promoted to management, i had no problem firing somebody who didn't do thier job. nobody was able to sit for six hours, nobody was given a pass because they were union. do your job, or use the exit....
