Yes and no. He's got the business strategy right, but he screws up the labor piece. Organized labor was essentially the mafia and extorted money from both its members and GM. The executives, for their part, allowed the extortion because they were on the gravy train too. The government should take over, but like they do with banks: eject the board and management, auction off the assets, and close down the rest. But the bottom line is that labor and management failed as a team. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
