    For those wondering, proton pump inhibitors are drugs that fight acid reflux and heartburn.


    Which is also kind of funny, in a less sexual innuendo-ish way.

    So, competition in the auto industry won't get stiffer after all. This really softens my outlook on restructuring.

    @marc2068: I don't know what a proton pump is and don't want to know but a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is a type of drug you take when you have stomach ulcers. It stops your stomach from producing so much acid. I know because my father had ulcers and he took prevacid. He took them so that the ulcers would not get irritated while they healed. He had ulcers for basically his entire adult life. Doctors always said that they were from stuff like stress, alcohol, and cigarettes. They told him to take aspirin. Then they figured-out that ulcers are almost always caused by a bacteria. So after a little over a year of taking three antibiotics and a PPI, my father finally has no more ulcers. Incidentally doctors have since also figured-out that aspirin irritates ulcers. Most days I think doctors still have much in common to their leech wielding ancestors.

    @marc2068: If I remember biology class:


    A proton pump is a part of a membrane in cells that exchanges 3 hydrogen ions (H+) for potasium (K+) at the expense of Adenosine Tri Phosphates (ATP). I think it has to do with nerves and their ability to transmute signals to your muscles.


    But Im just takin' a guess.

    @Chris P. Bacon: Real information??? Boring! I'm gonna venture a guess that shortly before the collapse of the automaker-industry-as-we-know-it Chrysler partnered with a bunch of storm troopers and managed to snag some sweet proton pumps from the Rebellion. They've been keeping them on the ship Inhibitor, which also teaches classes on how to do drugs safely. Unfortunately, now that Chrysler is bankrupt, they can't afford the intergalactic space travel to visit Inhibitor and pick up more proton pumps, so they've had to cut it from the budget.
