GM's Hummer Brand To Be Sold To a Chinese Company
An anonymous reader writes in to note that GM will sell its Hummer brand to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Co. of China, a little-known industrial firm. For now, the deal will save 3,000 jobs in the US. (The military HumVees are made by a separate company and are not involved in this deal.) "As part of the deal, some GM plants will continue to build the Hummer brand for the new owner, at least for awhile. The company said its Shreveport, La., plant will keep building Hummers for the new owner until at least 2010. ... GM said it sold 5,013 Hummers worldwide in the first quarter, down 62% from the 13,050 that it sold in the same period the prior year." AP coverage has more details on GM's planned divestitures, including the shedding of Pontiac, Saturn, and Saab.
I'm glad you feel that way. You see, we had a vote and the majority of us decided you should be our toilet slave. I'm sure you'll whine and scream, but it'll help the economy.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
What you say might actually come to pass if it wasn't for all the nuclear warheads that the US posses. "Ex-Superpower Turned Whiney Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys" made me laugh. Its funnier if you have ever been to france and heard how some french people talk about France's doings in WW2.
