GM Negligence......

“Todays GM will do the right thing”. 

Yesterdays GM…..Not so much. 

These companies always like to make it seem like before they were completely inept and corrupt but now everything is all fixed.  Trust them.

Ms. Barra is not even the person who should have been testifying in front of congress.  They should have dragged the CEO from 2001 in wearing hand cuffs.

In 2001 GM had a choice.  Spend .90 per vehicle to fix a problem they knew existed.  Or save the .90 and risk people being killed.   They saved the .90 and 13 people died as a result.  The engines shut down.  The power steering locked.  The air bags shut off.  GM cars went careening out of control.

That is criminal negligence, and GM executives should be going to jail.

In the end the .90 savings didn’t even matter as GM still plunged into bankruptcy.  Tax payers still were called on to provide bailout money.
