GM is looking worse every day

Looks like its a wrap for GM, their shitty quality is catching up with them again(Reuters)
"General Motors Corp is recalling nearly 1.5 million Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac mid-sized cars due to a potential leak of engine oil that could cause an engine fire...GM said some of the vehicles have a condition in which drops of engine oil may be deposited on the exhaust manifold under hard braking."
Talk that shit now about quality GM, how can you promise customers that you will pay their payments if they lose their jobs if your company wont exist by the end of the year.
Remember the Formula for a company to initiate a recall
Take the number of vehicles in the field (A) and multiply it by the probable rate of failure (B) and then multiply the result by the average out of court settlement(C). A*B*C= X if X is less than the cost of a recall they don't do one. Makes you think how many people GM lit up in fires before they deemed this a problem?



Revelation stress and depression isn't good for your heart. (Reuters)

"Heart patients who become depressed have a higher risk of developing heart
failure, regardless of whether they take antidepressants, U.S. researchers said
on Monday. They said the study is the first to look at whether depression
raises the risk for heart failure, a chronic condition affecting 5 million
Americans in which the heart gradually loses its ability to pump blood
efficiently. "Our data suggest that depression is an important and emerging
risk factor for heart failure among patients with coronary heart disease," Heidi
May of Intermountain Medical Center in Utah, whose study appears in the Journal
of the American College of Cardiology, said in a statement.
Prior studies have shown that depression is about three times more common after a heart attack and depressed patients are at higher risk of a second heart attack.

Break through study doctors way to apply all that schooling. They are probably all depressed about the debt they are left with after surviving a heart attack.
