490. Could someone make one that addresses the GM buyout scam?
I'm not good enough with the techie skill required to make an effective statement, but I'm sure those who build Tahoe's would appreciate DUs efforts to use this opportunity to make a plea for their jobs.

Use this article about GM screwing its workers to glean points:

GM, Delphi offer sweeping blue-collar buyouts
http://go.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=11616283

I feel that the main crux of the matter may be that the $35,000 they are offering their employees is LESS than the price of just this one vehicle...they put 'em together, but if they agree to being bought-out, they couldn't afford to own one!

Or, with this cost-cutting, who WILL be building these vehicles and how safe and reliable might they be in the future, with long-time Union auto-workers sold right down the river?
