Elo, I agree that the US shuold not make a habit of doing that. That is why we have to make sure we are not put in that situation again.

The fact that it was done was an example of having two horrible choices. To act like either option is something to cheer is stupid.



the US has pretty much cemented its policy of 'too big to fail'

What we need is for failed companies to go through bankruptcy. Owners take a bath, creditors must take a hit, executives need to be replaced, employees take a hit, bad product lines revamped or killed off.


Oh wait...all of that happened here.

Yup. Most definitely.


PS I was looking at companies that have declared bankruptcy and found one bankruptcy filed for a state route in California.

Good news. Maybe this will help them sell them. Its a great idea and i hope one day automakers make this a reality for average people. I would buy one if I could get a new one for under 20k
