I would have let you collapse, GM. So there’s no need to thank me for your government seizure. My no doubt naive belief in basic capitalism precludes me from fully appreciating said thanks; or, indeed, appreciating them at all. How much of MY tax money went into making this self-congratulatory paean to Italian-style fascism, by the way?
Whatever it was, it was too much.

After the Volt...

As an ad guy, it is beyond my thinking why on earth GM would want to keep reminding us of this whole debacle. It’s like getting a thank you card from a thief.
I guess it is for those that lap up GM's "salvation"
JoeG Friday, November 26th at 6:56PM EDT (link)The ad only makes me angry. I suspect they don’t care what we think, they want to thank the backers.
The GM ad is because

It had been dropped from the NYSE on June 1, 2009 when they went bankrupt. Now GM wants to create goodwill and convey the impression that they are recovered and worth your investing in them. “Americans love a comeback story. We’re going to play like underdogs,” Daniel Akerson, the CEO, told CNBC… “It’s a rebirth of the company.”

anotherindyfilmguy (Diary) Saturday, November 27th at 1:22AM EDT (link)I’d happy to see them do something like…
Divide the billions they stole on the “loan” by the number of registered taxpayers who actually paid taxes (no full refunds etc) and send each one a check…
That would mean something more than the charade they’re pulling off…
