Typical corporate cronyism.  Ever wonder why Obama is trying to raise the cost of gas when New GM is selling an all-electric car?

If they have no obligation to fix them. The public has no obligation to buy them. No wonder G.M. stock is in the tank.

As much as it irked me to deal with GM again it was one of their products that we ended up with for a new car. What we got and the price we paid couldn't be met by the competition.

Back when GM first started being a company, GM introduced planned obselence, so consumers would buy cars more often. GM also paid its workers 5 dollars a week. GM didn't stand behind their product and would often say buy a new one.
Ford on the other hand planned for cars lasting longer and tried to come up with retail parts cheaper and a supply chain for them. Ford paid workers 5 dollars a day. Ford buisness principals were copied by Honda and Toyota.
 
GM will always want a govermnet handout. GM has always expected a handout and GM does not wish to honor its warranty. Is that really the way to run a buisness?
