Mr. Lutz runs GM. Sometime soon we will look back and wonder how GM ever lasted this long, it is such a big fat dying dinosaur. But I am sad to see that Mr. Lutz is such a freaking moron. I am not surprised in the least that he believes that global climate change is (and I quote) “a total crock of shit.” But I am sad that he doesn’t at least have the sense of a 4th grader and keep his mouth shut. Don’t say that kind of shit in public man, it’s a huge PR fiasco. You run GM, remember?? Don’t you think you saying that will reflect negatively on GM? even though you claim it shouldn’t.
If you work for GM, get out. If you are one of the hourly workers, take the buyout. If you are salaried, leave ASAP. And if you are in a GM town, get out too. Even if you and all your family don’t work for GM, if they go down, your town is going down. (This applies to smaller cities where GM is the best/only option for people, not bigger cities where there are non-automotive options.) It might suck royally and be really really hard, but you will be in better shape than the people who hang onto the sinking ship and have to move on in a year or two (or five or whatever). You will be ahead of the curve. Do it!
