Just a heads up for everyone - discussing the article is fine and all but discussions about the rights and wrongs of abortion are not fine. It's just too polarizing of a subject and people can't keep their opinions (read: emotions) in check.
So before that happens, here's the official warning.

In regard to GM or the finance sector, there's something very dysfunctional when a business entity is permitted to become "to big to allow to fail". Unfortunately, it doesn't look like its going to get bad enough to get a retuning of the artifact of "corporation". However, this is going to be one of the stranger versions of bankruptcy business-watchers will ever see with all kinds of special one-time rules and whatnot.

Hopefully, Obama will manage the bankruptcy OKAY. It's not going to be stellar, but for his sake I hope damage is minimal cause this could be historical egg on his face if any one messes up. |

I'm not surprised on GM going bankrupt at all because of what happened so far with the piling debt caused by mismanagement and union and also the economy didn't help too. I think the government should be able to handle the bankruptcy fine since GM can get out those expensive union contracts and some debt, but there is going to be some job loss from this which might not be a good thing for people who are currently working in GM.

GM and Citicorp have both been removed from the Dow Jones Average of stocks. They weren't worth enough to list.
Stocks in general went up today mostly due to the readings of goat entrails and splashing of tea leaves that the "o so brilliant" fund analysts conduct before using the same buy-sell algorithms that everyone else uses as well.

Some would consider that debatable. (Not me, but as much as I endorse and love musuems and parks and public broadcasting, they don't rake in money like stadiums unfortunetly, which is why it's one of the few things both parties will shell out money for.)
