Now it really gets interesting… The CEO of GM is Mary Barra, considered a hero amid the political circles of democrats; and considered a potential pick for vice-president on a Democrat ticket. Despite her generally weak leadership, democrats adore her resistance bona-fides.

It’s already on Reddit’s front page that he’s canceling production of ventilators because of price haggling.

They might as well. It’s been decades since GM made anything you could call a car.

I am curious why GM and why not Ford, considering ford announced yesterday that they will be returning to work in early April
