Re: another one bites the dust.

i laugh my ass off at the american car manufacturers..... their labor costs are floating around 81% of income. that is utterly insane and no wonder they have nearly double digit loss percetages for the last few years....

Re: another one bites the dust.

5.8 billion dollars lost in one quarter, while the oil industry makes about the same in a quarter. Why? Our American auto industry and their unionized workers agreed to ridiculous pay packages and benefits over the years and the manufacturers themselves made a horrible gamble on the continued strength of a doomed to eventually fail SUV market.

Re: another one bites the dust.

How can someone lose that much money, let alone any money when you have 15 billion in sales during the quarter.
