livvie-
I personally am not a fan of GM. I hope they get outcompeted. But I live in Motown and already know the effects of bad decisions leading to bankruptcy and death (decisions which may have looked good for the short run). I do hope that they survive.
If GM bellies-up - miserably or otherwise - we are all in for harder times. Granted that other manufacturer's will eventually pick up the slack in vehicle production, it won't necessarily be with the same workers, suppliers, and the rest of the infrastructure that GM has. This is bad for all of us - ultimately including the competitors of GM. If nothing else, GM sets the standards of what not to do. This is valuable for those of us who believe in hybrids and other alternatively powered vehicles.
