I wonder if they still have enough knowledge in-house to get back into rail? #37 Jackson –

True, but GM has since sold EMD (though not that long ago). I wonder if they still have enough knowledge in-house to get back into rail?

Although my home will be owned outright two months from now. I grew up poor but learned to stand on my own two feet. I don't ask anyone for anything. Who will bail me out if I get into trouble? I assume no one will. So I stay out of trouble. #120 Dave K says

GM took the risk of making gasoline guzzlers because each unit turned a higher profit than a Cobalt or Aveo does. And now history shows they made a bad bet. Tax payers shouldn't subsidize for gambling losses. It's time to clean the slate and rebuild. And as many others have mentioned here. We have all been out of work at a time in our life. And we struggled for a few months. But, we eventually found new work and life continues on. At one point in my life I lived in a rented closet ($125 a month) and had $200 in my pocket. I took 2 months of employment compensation dollars from the government (2002). I now have a wife, a son, a home (now owned outright), 1 car, 1 truck, and a Ninja. Do you want me to bail GM out? And who will I bailout next month, Amtrak? =D~ hi D Lo #118,

“No concerns about the people that GM owes money?”
