You ARE a comic. I most certainly didn't "lose" your minimum wage detour.
And the initial point was never addressed. Nobody here cares because GM is a "good" company (e.g. unionized).
First of all I doubt that nobody cares. It is just that we have no history of getting apoplectic about product liability. If anyone here is the hypocrite it is you, because the only reason why you are getting excited about it and not Toyota was because you can tie it to the administration and feed your ODS. You lose again.

And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'" Ronald Reagan

Declaring bankruptcy and walking away from your obligations is a well used business tactic...
Mike
Unless of course this happens during a Democratic administration. Meanwhile in Republican land you can poison an entire state's water supply and walk away and nobody cares.

In the long run, negative publicity would cost more than the $1.2 B settlement they agreed to and fighting the government.
The fight has been going on for close to 4 years. Settle and move on and people don't care anymore. Out of sight, out of mind.
That's just standard procedure in business in case you didn't know.
The only difference here is that the "new GM" isn't liable any more for problem cars pre-2009 due to the bankruptcy filing. Thats a crock of **** if you ask me.
Right. Forgetting of course they have to admit guilt and undergo federal monitoring. Yeah I am sure they are innocent of all charges. That is why they recalled 7 million cars that in your mind had nothing wrong with them.

Easier and cheaper to admit guilt and settle vs. dragging it out for years and receiving continuous negative publicity. Business move.
But at this point, I'm wondering why you even brought Toyota into the discussion.
1.) They didn't take any taxpayer dollars (GM stills owes the Gubment $11 billion dollars)
2.) They haven't been released from any liability like GM will for their faulty cars.

Because Steven was wondering why we were not outraged. The reason is we just don't care that much about product liability claims. But at least you admit the only reason you care is because Bengazi.

To be honest, I didn't even know Toyota was killing people. Back in 2009 I was much more concerned with whether the banking system was going up in smoke and taking my career and my family with it.
So I'll ask the same question, why no outrage over Toyota killing people? Lloyd Blankfein didn't kill anybody.
Now, since you haven't been paying attention, I don't think the pass you're giving GM has anything to do with the bail out, so you're wrong on that one. I just think because people work on a factory line at GM, it gets a pass from the Left. Because people work behind a desk at JP Morgan, it's the end of the world if they lose on a trade.
FWIW, I simply do not suffer from Obama Derangement System. He's not evil. not a Communist, not a Muslim, and not taking anybody's guns. He's just a guy way, way, way in over his head. I don't blame him, I blame people like you who believed the Hope! and Change! ****.
Edit to add: The question isn't why I'm hot and bothered about GM and not Toyota. I'm not hot and bothered by either. I want to know why you would get hot and bothered about some banks that haven't killed anybody but not place a single post about a manufacturing company that was not only killing people, but knew about it and hid it for over ten years.
Everyone surely must know that it was a conspiracy by our goverment against Toyota to make GM look good at the the time right? What better way to help a failing auto company than knock down #1.

You lose again. If there is a flaw it is caused by the people that work behind a desk at GM. Maybe it is because the problem at GM, is not tanking the entire American economy and causing millions of people to lose their life savings.
And IMO he is doing a hell of a lot better job than his predecessor. The guy you thought was the greatest president ever. So yeah Benghazi.

Why are you talking about the people behind the desk at GM? I'm interested in why you don't give a ****. Why aren't you screaming that these people should be thrown in jail?
As for your second point, no idea what this has to do with my supposed ODS. Even if he's better that W, O is still an overmatched, outclassed yutz that should never have won the primary over Hillary or the election over McCain.

Wells Fargo, the nation’s biggest mortgage servicer, appears to have set up detailed internal procedures to fabricate foreclosure papers on demand, according to allegations in papers filed Tuesday in a New York federal court.

Now that's outrage!!

The fact that they kill people just ups the danger quotient to me. Love them even more now.
Commie bastards.

Actually I only sort of care because I wasn't a fan of tax payer dollars being used to bail them out and now this crap with the recalls.
Hope your Toyota Camry is treating you well these days.
Was it made here or in Mexico?
