~ Cross posted from RightMichigan.com with a bonus here. ~ Potential GM Stock buyers?  Don’t get your hopes up. Not that anybody should expect an industry that still has a shock collar of union interest around its neck to do very well anyway. General Motors is selling some of...

The New Third Rail

Very few people, and likely NONE in political circles could think of much else except social security when talking about “third rail” politics. The mere discussion of changing it can literally affect in a matter of hours, the percentages an official, or would-be official receives in a given electoral...

December 15, 2008
By

Several years ago a law firm specializing in workers compensation was told by General Motors that it had to shave their hourly rate to roughly $30,  or risk losing GM’s business.  The irony was that to keep the large seemingly “lucrative” account, the firm needed to bill an hourly...

Automakers and Government.. History and Truth Seeking

December 6, 2008
By

The Automakers face a number of issues which in my opinion are hardly solvable by MORE government solutions.
