General Motors and Karma

I'm having a hard time feeling any sympathy for General Motors, and here's why.

Years ago, GM dedicated itself to producing vehicles that created their own obsolescence. The gas-guzzling, larger-than-life cars and trucks they stubbornly pushed onto the American consumer ultimately were rendered powerless by the amount of precious mideast fuel they swilled. The decision to make these vehicles came from top management, and the workers and retirees will pay for this decision while top management continues to make more money every year than many of us will see in a lifetime.

And years ago, GM decided to purchase and destroy the electric car-making technology that would have AVOIDED most of the financial crisis we experience today (because this mess started with fuel prices, not the "subprime mortgage meltdown" as the government would have you believe). General Motors single-handedly and knowingly killed the electric car, and for that, they should go down. What's too bad is all the regular people who must suffer for the havoc created by those fat bastards in management.
