One suspects the sparkling husband primitive's wife's been increasing that dosage of whatever it is she puts into his drinks.

As a part owner of GM ..........
..... I vote that we give back to the retirees their health care benefits.
I also vote that we replace the entire board. No board members who own more than 500 shares. At least 50% of the board must be (gender neutral) car "guys". All board members must know where Woodward Avenue is.

1. I also vote that one of the board members be Michael Moore. Love him or hate him, he's got some good ideas. I'll bet he knows Woodward Ave. too.
I dunno. I bet Richard Cheney has some good ideas, too.
So, how about Richard Cheney for the General Motors board of directors?

2. They also outa know the right primary jet size for a Holley 850 cfm carburetor on a Chevy 427 L88
Or, they don't know shit about GM products and shouldn't be running an American car company. Go back to your hedge funds, you vulture bastards!

3. Another vote here
We should also vote all vehicles be manufactured in the United States.
After all, we own the company, why shouldn't we put us to work for us.

4. Second that emotion. But, we should let the Canadians keep their jobs.
They are part of the union International, after all.

7. I think the point you made about "car guys" is important.
I'm in a couple of classic car organizations, and those guys could shape up the American auto industry fast. When a new model comes out, they can tell you immediately what was done wrong, and whether or not it will sell. And they're always right.

8. Does anyone know how many shares we own?
franksolich knows. "We" "own" zero shares.
Decadent corrupt (D) politicians own all the rest of the shares.
