Right, they forced everybody with the ability to work from home to do just that, and the rest of the people that can’t do so are on paid downtime. They haven’t laid anybody off, and they did all of this weeks before government forced them to. I’d say GM has been better than most auto brands in respect to taking…

don’t watch it and so I don’t understand the reference, but I assume it’s an insult lol the underlying theme of every Shilling piece I’ve read has been “automaker bad”. Not sure why he writes for Jalopnik other than for a paycheck.

I should have said Domestic brands. Honestly, I’m not sure Shilling even wants cars to exist. He never seems to have anything good to say about cars. I’m also not sure how or why he has a job writing for Jalopnik. He’s a bad journalist.

Because the reason they’re not selling cars is because people have worries about financial instability. If people have jobs and income, they can buy cars. If people aren’t working, they don’t sell as many cars, and then more people need to be laid off, and then they sell even less cars, and so on and so forth.

What part of GM? Blue collar? White collar? Plant based engineer? Because GM has been pretty ahead of the curve as far as protective measures go, at least in Michigan.

Shilling hates the Big 3 wants them to fail. He also wants to write about how the big 3 are bad for failing because now everybody is out of a job.

You’re a bad journalist.

I honestly don’t understand what everybody’s issue is with the Chevy interior. It’s literally not any worse than the other 3 and I actually prefer the centerstack in the GM’s over this new Ford. I really fucking hate that screen.

You can’t spec a Denali up to $100k. You can get it up to about $85k, and that’s with a duramax, which is a $10k option over the 6.6L gas engine. And if you haven’t been in a new Denali, it’s pretty fucking nice lol That being said, it’s not $80k nice. It’s about $65k nice

I felt like I was having a stroke trying to read that. I kept rereading multiple lines because I couldn’t tell if they didn’t make sense or if I just had no comprehension ability anymore. It doesn’t make sense. I’m fine.

The stimulus bill money is supposed to start being paid out to people who have previously filed taxes with direct deposit starting today. Now, that’s the $1200 one-time payment, I’m not positive about the $600/week, but it’s part of the same stimulus bill, why wouldn’t it start being paid out around the same time?

Fair enough. The extra $600 hasn’t been paid yet and many people are really starting to feel the pain of unemployment after only a couple weeks. That doesn’t change the fact that once their unemployment benefits are approved, some of the people that were previously making $400/week will be collecting close to $1000…

okay well if you’re going to be forced onto unemployment, would it not have been better to collect an extra $600/week more?

unemployment is paying many of those people more than they were previously making now that the stimulus bill grants everybody an extra $600 per person per week on top of their state issued unemployment benefits, some of which are over $400 per week. I feel worse for the people who have had pay reduced, with no…

The reason so many options exist is because people have different needs, wants, and desires than you and your opinions.

4 million cars is pretty significant when you consider that’s 23.5% less cars sold. Also, that’s like Ford, GM, and Chrysler not selling a single pickup for an entire year. It equates to a massive amount of revenue lost and also a lot of jobs lost

I’ve been worried about getting pulled over because I bought a new car about a week before shit hit the fan and the documentation didn’t get processed before Secretary of State offices closed, and I still don’t even have my title, registration, or license plate yet. Good to know that Metro-Detroit and Oakland County…

So you don’t plan on making a profit, huh?

They’re making ventilators at cost

So you’re not interested in making money? lol
