World leaders dine in style as they discuss financial crisis: whoever allowed this to be published should be fired, what a waste of time. should they be drinking PBR and eating buffalo wings?

By The Numbers or DONT BAIL OUT GM!!

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:05:08 -0500

I read an article this morning in the Journal and here are some interesting facts:

1. GM’s market share of the US market was once 50%, now it is 20% (same as toyota and honda)

2. GM has 8 car brands (toyota has 3 and honda has 2)

3. GM has 7,000 dealerships (toyota has 1,500 honda around 1,000).

4. Honda and Toyota pay about the same wages GM does, but due to laws GM has to support all it’s retirees (they currently support more retires than workers) and thousands of workers from the UAW Job Bank Program (which makes them guarantee almost full benefits and wages for those who lose their jobs to automation or plant closings)

So why not cut some brands, close some dealerships and consolidate, that would make sense right? Well that is illegal. GM is not allowed to close dealerships, which makes cutting some of their brands next to impossible. If the government grants the bailout that money will end up in the hundreds of hands that are in GM’s pocket and not in the R&D labs where it needs to be.

If GM files for Chapter 11 they are allowed to cut all of these hands out of their pockets and start anew, and that might be the only way to survive…

pbj4life:

i’m due to graduate at one of the most inopportune times since the depression, and needless to say, job hunting will be harder than getting the master’s degree.

self-promotion will be key, and design student emerson taymor sets the standard with his mini emerson business cards.

“Somebody ought to call Steve Jobs, who doesn’t need to be bribed to do innovation, and ask him if he’d like to do national service and run a car company for a year. I’d bet it wouldn’t take him much longer than that to come up with the G.M. iCar.”

My old roommate and very close friend Grant is in Afghanistan and is an artillery man. I think his job entails him telling his soldiers where to shoot this thing.

It is strange to think as I sit in my office here in New York he is in Afghanistan helping to hold together a situation that is getting more frightening by the day.

“16:28 is very strong for a complete newbie. Heck it’s fast even by Cat 5 standards (the beginning racer category) and those guys have been training for many months if not years. I would guess with a few months of proper training under your belt you will shave at least a minute, probably two minutes off that, in which case you would be completely destroying the Cat 5’s and upgrading to race with the big boys.”

- I joined the New York Cycle Club and got an email from one of the members about my Central Park lap time. Looks like I might be able to be a bike racer yet!

Loribeth keeps the office here at FLIGHT 001 well stocked with Mallowmars, and I eat them until nausea sets in.

As a side note 70% of the nations Mallowmars are purchased in New York and they are only sold in the winter months. So go get them while you can.
