2008 Stock swap with GM. Thanks for admitting the hypocrisy of everyone defending the big 3.

Big 3 shills: give me tax dollars

Also Big 3 shills: our competition gets tax dollars and it is unfair

The CEO of GM could personally blow me and I still won't give them a dollar.

I think this argument must have been written in 2008 because nobody here is defending the "big 3" and the "big 3" doesn't even exist anymore as Dodge/Chrysler is owned by a European company and Ford/GM manufacture most of their cars in Canada and Mexico. The most American vehicles these days are Tesla, Toyota and Honda. I even specifically pointed out that US EV subsidies apply to manufacturers from multiple countries...

If you think this is some sort of "gotcha," I have bad news for you.

Here have some taxpayer dollars, kiddo. Try not to spend your welfa--bailout all in one place. Remember it's a loan 😉
