What will happen if General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford collapsed? which looks very certain that it might happen.

Primarily in the US, if they collapse how many jobs will be lost and how much of a impact on the economy will it have?

The only reason i ask is that i hear all 3 of them are asking for help and are knocking on the doors of bankrupsy.

I figure you don't know anyone who works there or forms part of the supply chain for any of these behemoths. Oh and kudos: my housemate just returned from a tour of southwest USA and confirmed that MSNBC is in fact more biased than Fox.

Detroit would be fucked.
Maybe 'Wild Mustangs' could close down and move their girls to Aus?

The ripple effect would be incredible.

There still wouldn't be an SUV shortage.

So you're essentially saying you know people who don't care whether they remain in paid employment?

And am I missing something: you want your mom's savings to be pissed down the swanny?

we have other stuff also.  but we would take a hit.   most likely bonuses and such would be gone for a while.


they already are pissed away.

Thread cleanup complete!

If you really, really, REALLY want to, I can simplify all of your choices in wheter to enjoy real life this weekend or to post on the forums. Because if you continue like this, you will only have one of the two choices.

Get your acts together, I've had it with your bloated egos.

That's what you get for making and selling those shitty SUV's all this time, but don't blame just them, blame the government for making SUV's so much of an attractive investment by not holding them to automobile standards (and holding them to light truck/heavy vehicle standards instead, or something like that)

I saw Don post after I made my comment.

You are a dullard who is incapable of seeing a larger picture.

There are millions of people and tens of thousands of companies that will fail if they go under.

Rather than right them a tax payers check they should
A) tell the auto onion goons to fuck themselves
B) take money from their profitable european and asian sectors and prop themselves up
C) make a break through economy car and make billions.



Marine,  mindless drivel ( like your post above ) choking these pages is a large part of the reason you don't see me posting here much lately.  That and I am busy trying to rebuild my finances.
I don't need to commit suicide; America is doing it en masse as I watch.

Estimates indicate that if the big 3 go down that as many as 2.5 million people could be unemployed.

Please, stop this idiocy now. Respect the OP, keep it on topic.

Or fuck off.

I deleted a bunch of posts for a clear reason, so you create more similar content? Thanks a million, Einstein(s)!

what will happen? Someone else will come in and take their places as the "big 3". No big deal.

In the airline industry the big 3 used to be TWA, Pan AM, and Eastern. All are gone now and guess what, the world didn't explode.

If they go bankrupt, they can re-negotiate their contracts with UAW. Meaning they won't have their funds sucked dry by paying guys who tighten bolts all day $40/hr along with crazy pension agreements.

If they go down, an immense number of car companies go with them such as all those owned by GM.

There will be lots of very unhappy, and hopefully crying, Americans.

And one very happy, probably laughing, Scorpion.

TO CLARIFY (so that it doesn't spark a spat again): I would NOT be laughing at the people that would lose their jobs. I would be laughing at the collapse of part of the car industry (which, as marine will tell you, with me being a 'hippy', I 'dislike' to say the least).

I'm not entirely sure where I stand on this, I want to just say fuck 'em, but at the same time 2.5 million people are going to get fucked along with them. Lowing makes an good point though.
