I see your point, a possible solution would be a holding company or a private equity firm to act like a credit union that the group could draw funds and resources from. At least the current admin down to middle middle management needs to go. Mabe turn the company into a cooperative and let the employees run it, although as a whole I think GM is too large for that.
