While we’re paying back the tax payers, how about my damn bond confiscated by O’dungo for these crap builders. I bought one their turbo charged Buicks and it fell apart at 24000 miles.

He needs to end this kind of funding to all companies. With current technology electric cars are not as efficient as Gas powered vehicles, and they are creating a Lithium waist field.

Government needs to back clear away from several things they are now involved in, the auto business being one of them. Let them build what the public wants or just cease to exist. Same goes for the “renewable energy” businesses.

There’s the rub - when one is taking ‘gifts” from the government, one must expect strings to be attached....if they hadn’t been aptly rebranded as “Government Motors” I would heartily agree with your being conflicted..

I think my late Father’s favorite adage applies here, “You are only enslaved to the extent of charity that you receive.”

Subsidies needed to have been cancelled two years ago.

Equipment is fungible. Ship it back to the US by rail and make GM trucks in the US. Full stop.

You can’t make the USG a partner in your business and not expect them to have a vote. Especially if they are ONGOING partners through subsidies.

There are lots of 4 door sedans out there, they just aren’t gm products. This was a political move to attack the Trump Presidency make at Christmas time to make it really hurt.

Exactly the GM bimbo was sjw signalling. She is saying she is shutting down production factories to make room for research facilities. WTF? We won’t be selling anybody anything but we will be making up for it by research!
