    That boy is a compelling argument for allowing abortions during the 75th trimester.

    Wow, hows that knife in the back feel?


    I wonder if this kid has made the connection between net income and whether the internet bill gets paid?


    He probably thinks money originates in the ATM and electricity comes from an endless outlet in the wall.

    Lot of hate for the kid. Sounds like there's a lot of repressed family issues free-floating around here. BTW, did any of you actually bother to look at the interview? I know I didn't.


    And the outcome of all this vituperation? A hearty backhanded support for GM and its brilliant strategy over the past couple of decades. Smooth, gents.

    It's right about now that Dad is wishing he hadn't created such a trust-fund douchebag for a son.

    I just watched this on the west-coast BBC-America feed at 7:35 PM PST. The autoworker Dad seems really hurt and betrayed by his son's stance. I would have more sympathy for the son if he were arguing his case purely on the economics the bailout/bridge loan implies. But to make his point by referencing the ever-nebulous ivory-tower goal of 'green' for green's sake makes him sound vacuous and callous to all the jobs (and families) at stake.

    How sharper than a serpent's tooth...is the naive bullshit a spoiled brat with a do-nothing "job" posts on his blog.


    "Dear Dad, thanks for everything--but my conscience says I need to say in public that you should go broke and lose your job and pension. Love to help you out but I'm (airquotes) green (end airquotes) that means no green in the wallet, you know."


    Dumbass.

    The spoilt little shit,his dad probably paid for the sons education,working his ass off & doing overtime to give his son the best he could. Now the little fucker wants to see his dad & others out of work. I bet the pretentious little shit didn't complain when his food was paid for with GM money. Someone give him a slap.

    Ray made his appearance at two or three minutes past the hour, and got to speak his bit about the potential collapse of the supply chain should GM fail.
