I don't usually listen to Beck but heard the interview this morning on my way to work. I had no idea who it was (didn't know the Fox angle) and found the story compelling. This is frightening.

"Fast and Loose" may be an understatement! The owners can either sign a gag order next week and "wind down" their business (and $4 million in inventory) over the next year or become terminated and try to sell their inventory that the factory will not warrant and not be recognized as a service outlet. They can sue- but regardless of the outcome they are responsible for GM's legal fees.

The dealership has been in existence for 90 years- I'm not sure how many of them have been under the Carlsons. It sounds like at least a generation. It will soon be a huge white elephant (13 acres) that used to employ 85 to 100 people. Oh, and the "evil" owners find themselves ruined. They wondered what will happen- is their franchise going to be given to someone else?

is their franchise going to be given to someone else?

That's what the farmers in Zimbabwe were asking about their farms. We know the answer.
