Gm Is Dying:(

[cjriojas]

Actually, tyler was wrong about one thing. The Civil War was very much a matter of eminent domain. You see, regardless of what anyone might want to believe, Africans WERE considered property. The government wanted to release them as free but the government wouldnt pay up because human beings never should be considered property. So hundreds of thousands of dollars were payed to buy slaves and that money was not to be compensated. It wasnt the only reason but it was a huge one.


And GM needs the Baby Dmax to come out already.

Seems some oil companies are researching pulling hydrogen out of the hydro-carbon. I wonder what we do with the carbon afterwards... ,not what we need. Unless it all comes from Texas, and Alaska.

But totally agree with the diesel for now, and hydrogen for the future. The whole plugin car, just not something I'm interested in doing. Especially with the price of electricity now. Even over this way where most is from hydro-electric dams, I don't understand that by the way, cost nothing to create, other than up keep, but cost the same as oil, or coal plants

It would be awesome to see a GM hydrogen powered. We should also convert all our v8's to burn hydrogen , maybe a little less power, but hey just boost it more FTW. Hydrogen, the more you compress it, the more power you can get if you burn it.

Yup no unions in the oil field. We make it just fine with out them. Its either bust your ass or you will or some one else will bust theirs to and get your job.

damn straight

Me working hard pays My bills, not someone else...

Agreed on that point.

george is smart but unions can kiss my butt. I moved to saint louis started a business and had my life threatened because i wasnt union. So i moved back to OK. If texas Ever becomes a repulic im moving there. Oh btw if all hell breaks loose guess were all the hippie northerners will go. Yep you guessed it. To the redneck texas southern relatives house they know. Why you say? FIRE POWAH IN MASS QUANTITIES

[SCIV]

as for everyone against me...well it normal and just leads to much stronger character

Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I am against you. Has nothing to do with character either. People have different views, does that make your view more "right" than mine? I think not.

[Ramsey]

Were all hippies?No offense but i havent seen a hippie since the 70s .lol.Although I did here of one you guys have. gg,lol.Like i said im not biased to north or south ,the war was over along time ago,and I dont know crap about the war even if i was fighting it.

Stopped reading all of this crap at about page 10. Its making me sick. I am a union worker. Not because I went out looking for a union job, but because they were hiring. Some of the things they do I agree with, some of the things I don't. How dare some of you people sit there and say that I am a blood sucking, lazy, and unamerican person. Listen to the bullcrap that is coming out of YOUR mouths. Talking about how TEXAS doesn't need anybody else. How TEXAS should be its own country. How AMERICAN is that?

[Frenchy]

If you read, only the Union workers that sit around and make puppies all day are the ones getting bashed, not the guys that bust there ass.

[drk_syd]

I guess I should have kept reading because I didn't see anywhere that clarified that.....

GM was supposed to come out with a V6 Duramax that supposedly was supposed to get in the 40mpg range. While still putting down somewhere near 350hp and like 400tq.

Diesel is where it's at for sure. I mean you can run on filtered French fry oil with no negative side effects to the vehicle.

Not sure where that came from. It was gonna be a V8 and it would have sucked for at least 3-4 years just like the LB7 DMax.

As demand increases for diesel fuel the costs skyrocket. Diesel used to be a byproduct of the manufacture of gasoline. Now they're having to make it specifically for use as the demand increases. FF oil is great but they've got to figure out better ways supply fuel for diesel engines as demand grows. Hydrogen has the same issues. Look at E85, its almost impossible to find and its been out quite a while.

+1 There is no where anywhere around here to get it and I'm glad. The only thing we need on that front is real gas without the 10% ethanol.

WoW ,you can tell this is a texas based forum.GM dying has nothing to do with half this hread.Im not north -south union or non ,but it sounds like alot of people are still fighting the war.[I heard that from an old man once].Ive been all over the country and ive loved eveywere n-s-e-w I went,nothing but hospitable people,but this is opening my eyes alittle ,just reading this thread[you guys are biased for sure].jeez guys ,were talking about GM ,not another North /South war.Just love everyone ,were all havin hard times ,blame it on the government not each other .Tyler nice write up ,Ive ran 2 companies my self for 22 yrs by working my azz off,but something is going wrong my numbers are down 50% on the tow company and 80% on the construction company,and trust me im out theyre everyday tryin,makes it hard to still pay 1300 dollars a month for health insurance because I MAKE TOO MUCH,LOL.But the brother down the rd with twelve kids and no job is living large with monthly checks,good health insurance ,and food stamps .God bless us all and hope this turns around quickly.

True but the point in some of the comments in mentality. It's a lot more union friendly in the yankee states from Ohio to Vermont.

Let's all go make BABIES!!! Lots and lots of them, esp. the stupid people!! So unemployment can continue to skyrocket well into the future!! With so many people on earth with no job and nothing to do all day but use up every last resource left on earth!! More people will help with global warming also... the average person puts out 400btu's!! Then we can all hold hands and sing kumbaya while the mothership 4 million lightyears away laughs, what was this thread about again? Oh yeah, how upper management and the UAW took down the largest automobile maker in the world.

LOL. Remember the most powerful union in the world is the MLB Player's Association...then the UAW.

Hippies are OK. There are other things that are not. We know there are long haired red neck hippies, right?

Were all hippies?No offense but i havent seen a hippie since the 70s .lol.Although I did here of one you guys have. gg,lol.Like i said im not biased to north or south ,the war was over along time ago,and I dont know crap about the war even if i was fighting it.

Let's remember the war was to let each state make its own rules. Now we can't. See below.

I really don't aspire to be American by some STUPID "we'll put a boot in your ass it's the American way" crap so I could give a rats ASS. Being American got me nothing on its own. Working to be what I am without negotiated bennies or having someome else fight my battles did though. All the while I had to overpay for so much because of union and government manipulation it makes me wanna lie on my back and puke straight up.

[Sleaper]

It's not so much the individuals that make up unions, but instead, what unions stand for and represent. I'm not saying everyone who is in a union is a worthless piece of ______, but the institution of the union allows for a greater number of slackers without consequence. I've seen it first hand, someone who ahs been with a certain company for a long time, Person A, takes off work all the time, claims they are hurt etc. Person B, works his A off and when it comes time to make cuts, Person B is cut because they haven't been with the company as long. Doesn't make sense....
