I think he was referring to all the shady, extraneous dealerships that had their GM new car dealer licenses expire and not renewed. I'm sure this helped a ton and thank God they shut down D&C Chevrolet of Westwood, NJ. What a crap hole of a dealership that place was. Underhanded finance department, shady management, unsympathetic and horrible service department. Can't believe those a-holes actually had the balls to give my father a military discount, seal the deal and then call my parents up the next day saying that the finance manager messed up and wasn't supposed to give my father the discount and demanded us to give the money back to him. In good faith, we returned half of it, but we shouldn't. We're paying your finance department, as professionals, to make sure all the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed. If you screw up in our favor. Tough luck for you and your dealership. The guy was actually threatening us. Glad they got flushed down the toilet. I spit on them before I flushed. Good riddance!
Hey Number 3, you can't save the world man. Have to crack eggs to make an omelette. With all of the buzz surrounding GM going down the crapper for the better part of 40 years, I'm sure all of the executives saw all the rats jumping ship but failed to plan accordingly. Instead of having a "wait and see" attitude, they should have been actively looking for other jobs feverishly in the meantime. That's what my wife did working in Pharmaceuticals. 1 year stint, blurbs of the company being merged/bought out and she wasted NO time looking for another job. Found one before the ship sank with her on board. Yeah, it sucks those people lost their jobs, but if you don't have a contingency plan, that is your problem and you can complain/whine about firing people all day. If they didn't have a back-up plan? Please don't make it our problem.
