The thing is, that healthier company is going to be Chinese.

And that is my problem: our concern for the well-being of our countrymen allows badly run companies like GM to hold us hostage.Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17360198761136198922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36817113.post-89908285769989772332009-06-19T11:35:47.020-07:002009-06-19T11:35:47.020-07:00Completely ridiculous.
