So GM announces some pretty bad news today...lots of jobs to be cut, but at least we have Gay Days! Wait a minute, GM is hurting financially and failing to live up to its promises to retired workers? But they have money for events like this...learn more.
How about just building better cars and trucks? Yet again, GM leads the way in wasting millions of dollars pandering to "special" groups and putting more efforts into being global-minded instead of being business minded. (Mind you, GM has not openly supported heterosexual families. They haven't spent millions on supporting homeschoolers, orphans, battered women, widows, or the elderly. Hmmmm. That sounds real "diverse" and "tolerant" doesn't it?
Well, let's see, since GM started its gay and lesbian initiatives, back in 1999, they've canned thousands of jobs, buried Oldsmobile, turned their backs on thousands of retired GM employees, watched stocks plummet, regurgitated the GTO, shut down production plants, and the list goes on.
But hey! At least they have Gay Days! Hey Rick! Here's your take on the 2007 outlook for GM...boy were you off. But at least you have Gay Days!

Great post
Working in the corporate world, I know how companies have to rpesent themselves to the public and to the community as more than just out for cash because it puts them in a better light. Like, they're not just about making a product and a profit from it, but they're about saving the environment, giving back to the community, etc. Humanitarian causes make a complany look better than just a capitalist venture.
But then again, what's so bad about that? Why can't business just be about business, making good products because you believe they're good, and then making profit from it?
So why not just make cars. Why pour money into a social activist group? How does that help make better cars? Are you committed to giving ALL the pulic nice cars, or to only PART of the public (gays and lesbians) nice publicity?
I guess I echo your sentiments here. Of all the people groups in need, I dare say the gay and lesbian commuinty is not one of them. Except of course their need for salvation from their sins, of which homosexuality is just one.
We're all break God's law in different ways and all need salvation, more than money or cars.
But I digress on a subject that fills up other blogs!
OK, Ford lost bigtime...
I am SOoooo glad about what they're starting to do though. Bringing in small cars!
Go Small America! Downsize, simplify, just what you need...
A Ford Fiesta (which I'm sure will be renamed for the American market) is a sub-compact...bring it on. I don't care much for Ford, but I am glad for a push towards smaller cars (regardles of oil prices).
The Fiesta, however, can never beat the Fit by Honda. The only reason I don't own one is because I don't have a spare $15,000.
