Is GM headed for bankruptcy again?
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Not really. It just this week posted $1.5B in profits for the third quarter, or $0.89 return on a share. Analyst expectations were 60 cents a share. By the way, its the 11th straight QUARTER that it has posted profits. Any weakness in its financial report, which is hard to find, is due to Europe sales, which is down for all firms including Ford. Hardly a company looking to go bankrupt.
The same thing that brought GM down in the first place was NOT corrected by the Obama buyout.
Union healthcare coverage and retirements.
Obama just stuffed cash into the union coffers.
Inside 10 years they will have the very same problem they had before the buyout.
Ford fixed this problem by paying (3 billion) the union itself to take over the retirements and healthcare coverage or its members.
Now the union is crying that they will have to cut back on those very same retirements and healthcare coverages or raise rates on the members.
GM could have made the same deal but the union did not agree and before they would have been forced into it Obama stepped in to “save” them.
I bet Obama in this term will either dump more cash into their system or will offer to take over the retirements and force all the members into Obama care.
