Every time I post a link to anything that isn’t familiar to people, which is pretty much every time I post a link, a certain subset gets rankled by something- the arrogance of a differing opinion or belief? Who knows. Yesterday it was the Pasteur’s final words, “The terrain is everything” and his belief that germ theory was- at best- incomplete.
The failure to take in the overall hearth of the organism in a world filled with pathogens was not only problematic, it was foundational to any further study. It has been my experience since dramatically altering our own lives that the single most important factor in maintaining health and vigor not only in crops, flocks and herds, but in families is to look to the underlying principles of good health and well-being.
So GM has killed dozens of innocent people. At least Obama saved thousands of union jobs with your tax dollars so they can kill more innocent people with their millions of defective products. GM has recalled more cars in the last three months than they’ve sold in the last five years. Sounds like a recipe for success. Cramer says it’s a buy. Who in their right mind would ever buy a GM vehicle? Oh yeah, the millions of subprime deadbeats getting seven year, $35,000, 0% down loans from All y Financial.
GM recalls another 7.6 million cars
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM) issued six new recalls Monday covering nearly 7.6 million cars sold in the United States between 1997 and 2014, according to reports. The problem once again is linked to faulty switches that allow the ignition key to inadvertently rotate. GM reportedly said the problem could be linked to three fatal crashes in older full-size sedans. GM said it will take a $1.2 billion charge to cover the cost of the recalls, up from a previously disclosed charge of $700 million. GM shares are currently halted. They traded at $36.84, up 0.6%, prior to the halt.
If you think Obama and his government flunkies have done miracles with Government Motors since they saved this piece of shit union company with your tax dollars while ignoring bankruptcy law, wait until they are in complete control of your rectal exams. Obama loves to tout his saving of this awful company and the thousands of union drone jobs he was able to keep on the Democrat voting rolls. Who wouldn’t want to buy one of their death traps?
Of course, GM keeps reporting strong sales as they stuff their shitty inventory down the throats of dealers, use the government run ALLY Financial to dole out subprime 7 year 0% auto loans to the Free Shit Army Obama voters, and offer huge money losing discounts that guarantee losses for the company. They are using the tried and true method of selling each car at a loss, but promising to make it up on volume.
This is a joke of a company, reflecting a joke of a president.
The old saying “As GM goes, so goes the country” is truer today than it ever was in the 1950s.
GM Flunks Derek Zoolander School For Bailed Out Companies Who Can’t Build Cars Good, Recalls All New Camaros
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/13/2014 09:31 -0400
Another week, another massive GM recall, this time the bailed out company, which clearly is unable to build cars on the “first” attempt, announcing moments ago that it is recalling all current generation Chevvy Camaros “because a driver’s knee can bump the key FOB and cause the key to inadvertently move out of the “run” position, with a corresponding reduction or loss of power.” Supposedly, the issue, which may primarily affect drivers sitting close to the steering column (as opposed to?), was discovered by GM during internal testing following the ignition switch recall earlier this year.
Some truly divine comedy from GM:
“Discovering and acting on this issue quickly is an example of the new norm for product safety at GM,” said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Safety.
One wonders how many wrongful death lawsuits are piling into the GM inbox as a result of GM “acting quickly” on what are now over 16 million recalls in 2014 alone! According to the release, GM is aware of three crashes that resulted in four minor injuries that it believes may be attributed to this condition. Is death considered a minor injury by the product safety team at GM one wonders?
Separately, GM also announced two safety recalls and one non-compliance recall involving a total of 65,121 cars in the U.S. all three of which were reported to the NHTSA on Wednesday, June 11, 2014. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total recall population is 69,839.
Here is the full and updated list of cars recalled by GM in 2014 alone:
And here is what happens to GM when month after month it confirms it has flunked the Derek Zoolander school for bailed out companies who can’t build cars good: GM has now recalled 70% more cares than it sold in all of 2013, and has recalled 83% more cars in the first 6 months of 2014 than it did in the entire 2008-2013 period!
At least all those votes Obama bought when he bailed out GM were certainly put to good use… just not for building quality cars.
Obama and his minions have touted the huge success story of saving this murdering union controlled abortion of a company. They used your tax dollars, ignored bankruptcy law, and kept this piece of shit alive in order to keep their union constituents happy. Even though auto sales are supposedly booming, this company manages to lose money. They jam millions of vehicles onto overflowing dealer lots and call it sales. They have their government financing arm ALLY FINANCIAL dole out 0% seven year loans to deadbeats in the inner cities so the free shit army can drive Escalades.The bad debt loses will fall on the taxpayer.
In the meantime, the management of this fucked up company do presentations to employees about what not to put into emails. Every week we get a new revelation of defects, cover-ups and deaths of innocent people. Where is Obama now? Where is MSNBC and the union loving press? After reading the documents below, how can top executives of this company not be in jail?
2008 GM document warned engineers to avoid “widow-maker”, “deathtrap”, “decapitate”, “Hindenburg” and other inflammatory words
You may recall that GM has suffered from a series of embarrassing product defects and recalls including one that the company “didn’t fix until 13 people had died.”
George calls the presentation a “smoking gun” intended to dissuade employees from candidly discussing safety issues. In fact, one panel goes so far as to request that engineers avoid the use of the words “defect” or “safety” and instead focus on “issue, condition or matter.”
One panel offers a laundry list of words to avoid including “disemboweling”, “impaling”, “maiming”, and “mangling” even if, presumably, victims were in fact disemboweled, impaled, maimed and mangled by said vehicles.
So Toyota committed no such crimes and was forced to pay billions in fines (after laughably being accused by Eric Holder of a “cover up”) while GM really does cover up a “death trap” and will pay $35 million?
