Conditions for reopening: Reconsider your financial support of conservatives. Democrat organizations are “blessed”.
My husband and I find ourselves having to buy a new car. We will not visit any government motors dealership. I’m sorry for them, but I refuse to support government ownership of this industry.
I would expect they trumpet these openings as “jobs saved or created” by the stimulus then...
Who the hell in their right mind would want a GM dealership? They’re radioactive.
I’m sure that they will have tons of people sign up. NOT!
How much will this cost the taxpayers?
“saved”
Let's hear it boys! "Nearer, my God to Thee. Nearer to Thee!"
These are not “new” dealerships. they are dealerships that were slated to be closed but now won’t be.
It’s a “saved” bunch of jobs.
Not only NO, but HELL NO!................
Hard to say this, but Ford is your best bet right now.
Remember, there are millions of GM vehicles out there that need service or parts and repairs. There is money to be made, even if they are not selling many vehicles at these dealers. I suppose one could not stock any vehicles and only put orders in for customers who wanted to buy exactly what they want.
I heard alot of these dealers were happy with the money they were making, so good for them if they can get their jobs back.
Even though he was a big lefty, I loved Harry Chapin:
Dance band on the Titanic
Sing “Nearer, my God, to Thee”
The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
Won’t you dance with me
Mama stood cryin’ at the dockside
Sayin’ “Please son, don’t take this trip”
I said “Mama, sweet Mama, don’t you worry none”
“Even God couldn’t sink this ship”
Well, the whistle blew and they turned the screws
It turned the water into foam
Destination sweet salvation
Goodbye home sweet home
I’m in the dance band on the Titanic
Sing “Nearer, my God, to Thee”
The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
Won’t you dance with me
There was a trombone and a saxophone
The bass and drums were cookin’ up the bandstand
And I was strummin’ in the middle with this dude on the fiddle
And we were three days out from land
And now the foghorn’s jammed and moanin’
Hear it groanin’ through the misty night
I heard the lookout shout down “There’s icebergs around”
“But still everything’s all right”
Oh, the dance band on the Titanic
Sing “Nearer, my God, to Thee”
The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
Won’t you dance with me
They were burnin’ all the flares for candles
In the banquet they were throwin’ in first class
And we were blowin’ waltzes in the barroom
When the universe went CRASH!
“There’s no way that this could happen”
I could hear the old captain curse
He ordered lifeboats away, that’s when I heard the chaplain say
“Women and children and chaplains first”
Well, they soon used up all of the lifeboats
But there were a lot of us left on board
I heard the drummer sayin’ “Boys, just keep playin’”
“Now we’re doin’ this gig for the Lord”
I heard the dance band on the Titanic
Sing “Nearer, my God, to Thee”
The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
Won’t you dance with me
There’s a wild-eyed boy in the radio shack
He’s the last remaining guest
He was tappin’ in a Morse code frenzy
Tappin’ “Please God, S.O.S.”
Jesus Christ can walk on the water
But a music man will drown
They say that Nero fiddled while Rome burned up
Well, I was strummin’ as the ship go down
I’m in the dance band on the Titanic
Sing “Nearer, my God, to Thee”
The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
Won’t you dance with me
Dance band on the Titanic
Sing “Nearer, my God, to Thee”
The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
Won’t you dance with me
Dance band on the Titanic
Sing “Nearer, my God, to Thee”
The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
Won’t you dance with me
BIG Government just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
That’s very poignant.
Ditto here.
I think the closures and parts/repairs were part of the plan to pay back Obama supporters.
Example: I have a Chrysler Town & Country and needed a electrical part. My Chrysler dealership parts department quoted me a price of $126. I got lazy and did not buy it, then they were closed down. The Dodge dealership that took over all Chrysler stuff has just quoted me a price of $325 for the same part.
Obama and the Dims are giving back to their supporters.
You mean after they bankrupted them, they are now going to give the dealerships back to them?! /s
