The only problem is that we'll never know how many people lost their jobs so UAW employees could keep theirs. I think the current high unemployment is in no small part due to the uncertainty generated by the GM/Chrysler bailouts and similar measures in Washington that increased hiring uncertainty as well as providing incentives to shed jobs rather than get saddled with unexpected liability.
True to a point, but no one lost their jobs because bondholders were wiped out. Make a good decision with the info you have now, not the best decision with perfect information you have later (if you can even make a perfect decision.
Also, we have high unemployment for a simple reason: reduced baseline demand. For the last decade, consumption has been fueled by fake wealth from both the stock bubble and the real estate bubble. That consumption is gone, leaving only what I would call the "true" level of consumption. Until people pay off their debts, and thereby free up disposable income, consumption will be down preventing negating the need to hire people.
Also, with unemployment unofficially at almost 19% (between unemployed, under-employed, and discouraged workers), I'd argue it was cheaper to prop GM up and wipe out bondholders than it would've been to provide social safety net services to 3-4 million people in the auto supply chain who would have been affected by the collapse of GM.
I'm not happy myself about the GM bailout, as I own a shitload of Tesla and Toyota stock and believe in free market competition, but I also understand protecting people's jobs in the worst recession since the Great Depression.
The price of oil will go up due to inelastic demand and falling reserves. Even if the price of electricity *does* go up (I get time-of-day metering from ComEd, I charge my Tesla Roadster for $0.01/KwH between midnight and 5am), it's easy to add more generating capacity than to try to find more oil reserves.
I'd rather the bondholders lose the money than the federal government shelling out for the UAW pensions and healthcare costs in the event GM had failed. You are aware that failed corporations can dumpt their pension systems on the US Pension Guarantee system, right? Investing =! riskless.
I bet you the price of gas would approach 10-15 dollars a gallon. India and China have what, 1.5 billion people? That's a lot of internal combustion engine vehicles.
You mean how Tesla funded it's R&D with those who were willing to part with $100K-$150K for a sports car, which is now funding their drivetrain for vehicles between $25-50K (Tesla Model S and Toyota's new electric RAV4)?
Publishing confidential/secret information isn't illegal unless you're the one with the clearance who got the docs, or you got the docs illegally. If someone hands you the docs to publish, that's not illegal whatsoever.
While I can see your viewport, someone is going to be funding this dragon for a bit. That'd be like ignoring SCO. Possible? Perhaps. But some may want to face the problem head on.
As long as the rest of the world has a visa program for those of us who are educated and intelligent who want to leave if the morons elect her leader, I'm cool with that.
That's part of the problem. An educated, informed citizen's vote counts the same as an uninformed, uneducated citizen's vote. Public opinion doesn't simply become right or fact because of majority groupthink.
I voted for Al Gore in 2000 (I had just turned 18). I didn't vote in 2004, as there were no good candidates, and I voted for Obama in 2008 (and will vote for him again in 2012). I'm not happy with GM being bailed out (I own a huge amount of Toyota stock, and now Tesla Motors stock), but understand it was necessary to prevent the loss of millions of auto supply chain jobs. I like universal healthcare (you live in a society you twit, the wealth you have is only available to you because of the structure of society, and society has a cost) vs people going bankrupt and for-profit companies reaping hundreds of millions of dollars.
It appears though that we both agree that Palin would be a destructive force if put into office. Shall we roll up our sleeves and work together on this? I'm for fiscal responsibility and smaller government, but am also pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, and pro-universal healthcare.
Regular people like us can try to compromise, or we can take the nuclear option and use our resources to try to hammer the other folks into the ground. I'd much prefer the former over the latter.
What are you going to do? Go somewhere else if you try to get IPs from an ISP and you can't get any? Good luck with that. It'll last only until Provider-dependent IPs are used up.
One more thing I almost forgot. Load shedding > Peaker Plants.
You don't want the utility being able to shut your AC compressor down. OK. My utility also has the same plan, where they pay you for the ability to shut my compressor down for 2 hours every so many hours. Why? Peak demand. It's cheaper to perform load shedding (i.e. remotely shut down compressors) than it is to maintain and operate gas turbine peaker plants that sit idle 95% of the year, and than consume costly (comparatively) natural gas when called upon to provide peak power.
Distribution infrastructure is one thing. Peak power needs a quite another. You want better infrastructure, which is fair. It's also fair that utilities should provide time of use power costs, so their power costs are passed on to customers instead of them insulating customers with a flat rate. If you don't allow market pricing to work, poor decisions result.
I haven't put solar in to charge my Roadster, but I live in the Chicago suburbs, so solar is less than practical (vs. sunshine states). On the other hand, I have time of day metering, so I pay less than a penny per KwH for power between midnight and 5am (i.e. Roadster charging time).

Because you don't subsidize stupid.

You have them both tunnel to a VPN concentrator with a public IPv4 address? Or, you lease some fiber or copper and do Layer3 yourself.
I'll take that bet:

Bullshit. There is no amount of market liquidity that is worth $100 million a year.
Businesses exist solely because of government, hence why they're considered "free loaders" when they expect to pay no taxes for the ability to exist.
A flat tax. Cost to maintain roads/number of cars in your state = Per year vehicle road tax.
