GM lays off 1000 employees

I guess it depends - how far down (or up…?) the food chain do we want to take this lol.

Well for the last four years we couldnt say a thing about the policies that essentially destroyed markets. So if were going to discuss the impending EV $hitshow, we dont need to get into politics only identify where this mess came from. Learn from your mistakes and progress, dont tear down the EV statues.

I would find it difficult to believe that the timing has absolutely nothing to do with results of the election. I would also be interested to know more of the specifics as to how/why the layoffs were determined… just for S & G’s.

Destroy & delete has been prevalent these last several years as well. Regardless of who is in which chair… how has that been working for us? :poop:

Fyi, there is a general EV discussion thread if folks want to share insights about where the market is headed.

Couldn’t agree more. Some folks also seem to forget the auto bailout that happened back in 2009.

Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry - Wikipedia.

The Presidential Task Force formed and started holding meetings in February 2009. It reviewed financial and operational restructuring plans submitted by Chrysler and General Motors (GM) and made its own specific recommendations at cabinet level meetings to the President regarding the restructurings and the requests for funds from the companies.

Recommendations also included directives on improving wage and benefit structures, and developing competitive fuel efficient cars for the future. In March 2009, the Task Force recommended up to $5 billion in support for automotive industry and by late May 2009, following the recommendations of the Task Force, the U.S. government had lent approximately $25 billion in total to the companies. At that time, it was estimated that GM might require $30 billion more to emerge from bankruptcy.

As far as looks go the lightning has the fugliest front end imo.
