Who killed GM: Hippies did it!

GM filed Bankruptcy today. While they will survive in the long run, the dark days are upon us. While the blame for such a thing can be aimed at many factors, gawker.com pointed out one that is glaringly obvious, HIPPIES!

"The Hippies

Wah wah we want an electric car the hippies all said. And so California made Detroit build an electric car. But it was expensive, and real Americans, who only buy cars based on how loud, big, and cheap they are (gas is still so cheap whee!), didn't want anything to do with the EV1.

Now G.M. is sinking billions into the Chevy Volt, an all-electric car that will cost twice as much as a Prius, and still be a Chevy, so no one will want it."

We agree, but that is only one part of the collapse of the biggest car company in the US of A. Check out the rest of the finger pointing here
