I'm looking for the link that ref'd the Oldsmobile dlr toss a few years ago,
but the point is there are huge costs involved in shutting down this
plethora of GM, et al stlrs, as the state(s) laws impose considerabel fines/
buyouts on that kind of franchise dlr. Not defending them keeping the gillion
stlrs they have, just reminding that it's a boat load of dough to cancel them.
And, when they pare down a third or more of the dlrs, those people that
worked there don't simply show up as Starbucks barristas or working at
the local Jiffy Lube...if GM goes BK or worse, bust, there will be a considerable
impact beyone the line workers, the engineers, the staff idiots, etc. Sometimes,
I think some of you think it's akin to closing the local malt shop in terms of "easiness"
or, little impact.
