GM Executive Smoking Crack?
In
defending his company's dependence on gas-guzzling SUVs, General Motors vice-president Robert A. Lutz said, "I'm betting we're going to see regular [gas] under $2 a gallon again."
Mmm-hmmmm.
Me too. I'm also betting that we're going to see penny candy that costs a penny, first-class postage for a dime, and a two-bedroom Manhattan apartment with lots of closest space for around $175,000.
General Motors has pushed SUVs at terrible cost to the American environment for years now. They guzzle gas, they roll over, they make highways less safe, and they promote a culture of reckless consumption. GM is also the last automaker to invest heavily in hybrid electric engines.
And to top it off, once you remove the SUVs, there's not a car in the company that you'd actually pay to drive. Think quick: Can you even name a General Motors car?
GM is in serious trouble...and apparently it's all because the company's top executives are smoking crack.
