ParticipantYah Me too. I mean Jeff Bridges is like a god to me and I think that he can save the car industry. All the automobile companies need is Jeff Bridges to take a stand. The previous mismanagement, ridiculous accumulation of debt, inflated wages and bonuses ( at all levels ), low quality product and design are irrelevant. Bring in Jeff Bridges. Maybe Beau might come in and they can team up to really fix the company.

GuestAttorneys file objections to General Motors asset sale
As Yogi Berra once said, “This is like deja-vu all over again.” Yesterday was the deadline for parties to file objections to the General Motors asset sale, and several were indeed filed. If some of this sounds familiar, it’s because similar objections were filed during Chrysler’s bankruptcy proceedings.
For instance, on Friday, attorneys general from 10 states jointly-filed an objection, saying that the so-called New GM’s “purchase of substantially all of the operating assets of the debtors should not include an impenetrable shield which insulates (the new GM) from all future product liability claims.”
The AGs are upset because under the current plans, New GM basically won’t be held responsible for existing or future product liability claims related to vehicles sold before the formation of the new company. This echoes similar objections raised during the Chrysler proceedings, and if you use that as a measuring stick, things don’t look good for the AGs or the injured parties (present or future) on whose behalf they’re raising the objections.
When the Supreme Court cleared the way for Chrysler’s sale to Fiat, similar claims filed by consumer groups were essentially denied. Fiat-owned “New Chrysler” is not responsible for prior liability claims, leaving injured parties with little to no recourse.

Participantafx114 & pedrocon thanks for the thought provoking drive-by. How long did it take you to think up those excellently delivered posts?
After reading this thread you somehow came to the conclusion that we believe Jeff Bridges won’t get eyeballs on his movies anymore or that he can save the auto industry? Really??

Nice name. I went to your blog. You’ve got it wrong; the American tax payer totally screwed over THEMSELVES.
Look, Toyota would not be here today (at least as we know it) if it were not for Gov. Subsidies and protection over the decades. So, can we agree most automakers across the globe have gotten help and today especially are looking for Gov. help. So…all car companies are screwing their host country’s tax payer, by your logic.
Difference is, in other countries they help the automakers to KEEP jobs. Here we give them money to enter an orderly BK and then chop them up and send jobs over-seas.
Hyundai driver across THIS nation stare longingly out their windows at their Elantras as they type emails to their representatives demanding “No bailouts to the auto-industry”. In Japan and Korea they DEMAND their Gov. provide and protect these good jobs.
You have not seen “screwing the tax payer” YET. Wait until the numbers come out on how much it will cost us to pay for hundreds of thousands thrown onto unemployment and the lost pensions and healthcare benefits. And don’t forget the lessons people have wasted time trying to get across on this very thread…..which is that the job losses don’t stop with GM!!!! Thousands and thousands of people have and will lose their employment in seemingly unconnected jobs across the nation.
This is a global job war. Other countries like Japan will bail-out their auto industry and come out of this with more jobs. We will come out of it with massively FEWER good jobs. Both countries will have a bailout debt load; one will have an economic engine to pay it off.
GM has SERVED this country for 100 years. So many will only realize what they had… when it’s gone.
GM is reacting to a hostile populace. I followed your link: “Auto Shops Worried We’ll Start Buying Cars That Don’t Suck”
Reading the angry and delusional posts made by Americans about THEIR OWN industry is so very odd to me.
So many Americans are screaming for GMs death. The ones smart enough to connect a few dots then blame GM for the results of dying; which is sending jobs and car production to other countries as this once great company riles in the death throws YOU people wished upon it.
You can’t have one without the other, if you want GM to die at least have foresight of a 12 year old and put some thought into what will happen as it does die.
GMs death will wreak far reaching havoc and will cost tax payers, workers, retirees and the nation as a whole, greatly, for a long, long time to come. And when the dust settles we will have BOTH bailout debt and far fewer good jobs. You American auto haters will have won and we all will pay a great price for your victory.
