-GM enters the Chat-
Back in late 2008 I was working as a line worker in my 2nd year as a temporary worker. I was laid off during the crash, and 6 months later I received a letter that I no longer had a job with General Motors. I read in the paper a few months later about the plant I worked at being bulldozed.
Just like that, thousands of good paying jobs were destroyed even though the corporation was given government money to remedy the problem.
As for our CEOs? Well they couldn't be reached at their yachts and private mansions for comment. I started looking at Unions, Corporations, and the Government with a pretty dirty look after those years.
