GM files for bankruptcy

What has happened to Chrysler and GM is absolutely chilling. Does anyone seriously think that the bulldozing of the non-favored parties in order to benefit the politically-connected will not set a dangerous precedent? Every other major private-employer union in this country is busy right now figuring out how they can spin their own situations to achieve such an outcome, and private money will stampede out of any company that has even the whiff of being vulnerable. The administration doesn't seem to have the slightest clue what they've just set off.

Just a nostalgic picture from the front page of today's New York Times remembering a different time in GM's history.

BTW; this Olds probably had Hydra-Matic transmission!
