Re: GMI Covers GM's "Crisis Mode"

It's times like this that GM's brass needs to think, "WWSD." Or, "what would Sloan do?"

Alfred Sloan pulled GM out of a Durant-induced near-collapse at at time when there were literally hundreds of competitors. Now GM has, what, 10 competing companies? And they don't have a single best-seller? And they haven't turned a profit since 2004? And they got billions of loans from the government and they're still delaying products and canceling programs?

End of days, my friends. End of days.

It's more stable now.
