GREAT headline

(and good little article too)
from flagrancy to reason


like a hummer with teeth:

By my count, there are 56 open GM factories in the United States and 54 scattered across the rest of the planet.

General Motors' Director of Economic Policy, Thomas Walton, joined the global warming denial think tank the Heartland Institute in 2001. Bob Lutz, the Vice Chairman of Global Product Development, is of the opinion that global warming "is a crock of shit" and doesn't "believe in the CO2 theory".

General Motors spews propaganda into the media as "news" and spends millions of dollars every year directly lobbying our government.

It puts its money where its heart is: it's been a long time contributor to almost every crackpot anti-environmental hack shop or think tank one could probably think of - from Tech Central Station, the Reason Foundation, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the Heartland Institute, the Heritage Foundation, Citizens for a Sound Economy, to the finally defunct Global Climate Coalition - that has been in the business of opposing every effort to force GM to adopt a sustainable business plan. Then they follow up decades of opposition to sound environmental policies that would have made them more competitive by lying about their own record.

Their business plan has basically amounted to trashing the environment and then blaming their employees' union for their own poor business decisions.

General Motors has been fucking America in the goatass for over half a century. .............
