Truly incomprehensible and devastating to behold.

The problem with GM is when they had cutting edge technology that would have put them at the top of the world in electric cars, they sold the battery patent to Chevron! This is Capitalism at its finest and GM deserves to reap what the sowed by bad business decisions.

When GM crushed the EV1, it drove away its own customers, who went to Toyota. Toyota was happy to take our money and sell us the Toyota RAV4-EV, last sold in Nov., 2002.
Revenge of the EV1: crushing EV1 crushed GM

Quote:
GM's true intention became apparent when on Oct. 10, 2000, GM agreed to sell their control of the EV batteries to Texaco. Less than a week later, on Oct. 16, 2000, only days after Texaco acquired control of the batteries, Chevron agreed to purchase Texaco in a $100 billion merger. Chevron announced the merger even though the GM sale of the batteries to what would become Chevron did not close until July 17, 2000. Perhaps Chevron wanted this sale to be announced prior to the merger so it would not look like Chevron (formerly Standard Oil of California) worked directly with GM.

Yikes who said that? They are a group of people who are exactly the same, it is easy for them to agree on everything. When you have competing interests because of different world view you have a much more difficult time coming to consensus.

Actually I take it back, the left sees everything through the prism of race, it really is a fascinating pathology laid bare here.

Mmmmm there are plenty of communities without an auto industry that are doing pretty darn well.
