PWNED.
We're coming upon scary times here in the US as well. I see shit on the news every morning that I never imagined I would be hearing. When I turned to Fox News the other morning and saw that the government was asking GM's CEO to step aside, it sounded like some shit you would see in a different country, not the United States. Maybe I'm being a little over dramatic, but fuck man....this place is getting crazy.
The auto bailout has re-pissed me off in the past few days as well. I couldn't begin to count the people, the regular joe blows on the street, that said that GM and Chrysler were fucked regardless of this new money and should just file for bankruptcy. I was one of them. Here we are a few months down the road, and low and behold, whats happening? Now the government is finally conceding that bankruptcy may be a viable option. It would have been nice to finally figure that out BEFORE giving them billions of dollars. Fuck me running. I guarantee you that if I called Chrysler today and told them I'm unable to pay my car payment on my Magnum because of the economy, they would tell me to go fuck myself, and ask me where can they pick up their car. So why exactly should the taxpayers help them?
