Sorry GM is making 10 Billion PROFIT per year like a printing press under her leadership. Not going to happen.

Buying a 10year treasury note would have been a much smarter investment decision than buying GM (oh sorry, gm or gM or whatever the f@$& they identify as today) stock the day she took over. A complete waste of investor cash buying that stock since bk.

Umm your phone tracks you on GPS 1s pings if you have an iPhone. Mine knows where I work, where I live, what my typical commutes are whom I have called, texted, been called from. It has an accelerometer too to potentially measure dynamic changes like braking events. You can go on and on, Google, Hulu, Netflix, Bing, Instagram, Facebook all track your history. At least GM is stopping the practice. Sounds like that woman is driving recklessly often, should we be subsidizing that with higher overall insurance rates?

Thankfully I'm not tied to my phone like it's an appendage. Even if there was cell coverage in the areas I like to go for spirited drives, which there isn't, I can turn it off, put it in a Faraday bag, or simply not take it with me. GM was caught behaving in a sleazy, unethical, if not illegal manner. I hope it costs them millions, That is the only language these corporations understand.

Yes, we know how your GM is perfect.

Keep telling us. We just can’t get enough of your devotion to your heart and soul.

The 6th Gen is GM’s last link to their glory days of making affordable cars people really want. The Corvette is easy to make people want.

In the 80s GM was making people want affordable G-bodies from every division. They couldn’t build enough of them. So then in ‘88 they said “let’s make em all look like inverted bathtubs and front drive and make the interiors out of cheap plastic! That’ll be better” lol

After Camaro and Corvette now there’s really nothing people really want from GM.

LOL. Haven’t worked there in 13 years and I could write a book about the stupidity and failures I saw while I was there. Hell my wife was terminated during the bankruptcy costing us healthcare now that we are retired, so no love lost for the company. But you can see the posts every time this happens. In this thread someone called her a diversity hire. So merely defending common sense.

If she were a bad CEO the board would have replaced her. But they seem to think she is doing just fine.

We know your whole story, you’ve told it a thousand times. Telling it one more time isn’t changing anyone’s mind here. You’re a broken record.

The book of boards who have thought their incapable CEOs were doing a bang up job in the history of America would have a thousand pages.

If she’s not a DEI she’s a sycophant for a certain political persuasion. The whole board is. Either way she was not hired for her brain.

10 billion profit?? Maybe old Joe was right. It's not inflation, it's corporate greed.

As pointed out they should be making more. 5% ROS is not exciting by any means.
