Oh MAN do I agree with you. Take GM. 1 in 7 of their platforms actually makes money. Why? Lots of reasons but: (1.) They have tons of legacy costs (2.) They whole business model is broken (3.) They don't make things that people want to buy or at the quality level they want to buy it. So what does GM do? They lobby congress to get fiscal policy that favors their platforms that do make money. That way they don't have to innovate, don't have to change production, and don't have to take risks. GM, and the auto industry, is essentially a government run industry. It's commie. And like all government run businesses it's failing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:274520 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
