here’s more for you...I hope you are enjoying them.

The people Larry Page and Sergey Brin tasked with figuring out how Google should make money in 1998 were a pair of no-nothings in their early 20s. Salar Kamanger, Google’s ninth employee, had been a biology major at Stanford. His partner, Eric Veach studied computer science. Together they implemented Google’s now $21 billion business, AdWords. Neat.

$50 bucks says he has never had a ride in one and had his head snapped back from the powershift of a big block as it exercises it's 12 second quarter mile time prowess...

The mastodon's I rode in... :-)...

He can’t screw up any more than the experienced guys who ran both companies into ground did. Why do you have such a problem with that?

The time-honored, tested and true method is to let failing business models fail.

And who would you rather have because who ever you pull out of your head probably wouldn’t do it anyways.

Whoever has the wherewithal to buy the assets at liquidation is, by definition, going to be better qualified than any other choice. And if there's no takers, there's a reason for that too.

I am not arguing that they shouldn’t let GM or any other business fail. I never stated, hinted, proffered or suggested the US government should bail anyone out. Like many before you, you fail to understand my point.
