178. Give me a fucking break. What, I should buy a piece of shit
American car so GM can keep handing out freakin' bonuses to their top execs while they fuck the union workers? The union jobs are not going away because people are buying Japanese cars. The union jobs are going away due to the lack of management in that company.

The writing has been on the wall for a long time regarding Hybrids and GM chose to ignore it. They kept producing one gigantic SUV after another. Toyota and Honda saw what people wanted and did something about it.

I am a union worker and I feel bad for auto workers that lose their jobs, but don't try to blame it on people who buy Japanese cars. You cannot fault people for wanting value for their money. I wouldn't drive a GM or Ford if you gave me one.
