 Hey now!!  Everyone is at fault.  Unions - who should make $40.00 - $75.00 per hour, plus unbelievable benefits, for screwing parts together - the same parts, day in and day out.  People in San Antonio (if you catch my drift) can do the same thing for $8.00/hr.

Management:  my main complaint about GM is why are they always the last one to catch new trends.

It's like the federal government - no matter what party you subscribe to or vote for - they are ALL crooks (OK 90%).  Take away their money incentives.  Take away lobbyists.  Then see how pure America gets.

I live in Houston area (Harris County).  The county is building a $3+M "Pine Derby" mountain.  The hauled in - the dirt hill is about 50' tall - a huge amount of dirt.  It sits on about 5 acres.  Maybe you can google it.

Anybody own a GM product in the 1970's, and have to replace your transmission at about 60K-75K miles.  Ridiculous.

Mutter, mutter.  If I were just king - I could get this straightened out. Mutter, mutter.
