What I find really funny though is that people think that by not buying GM products or vehicles, they are sticking it to the "corporate fat-cats" that bankrupted the company. When in actuality, all you are doing is strengthening Foreign Auto Companies and putting american workers on unemployment.

Those wealthy executives will survive if GM really goes down and has to liquidate it's assets. Stockholders will get paid. But the thousands of workers without jobs won't survive.

Really? nOMG man. The losses are coming from the employees, not the executives. You must be one of the over-payed, under-educated, and (preferably) un-employed line workers. Go get another job, and be thankful the gravy train ran as long as it did.]]>Jul 22nd 2009 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/When in actuality, all you are doing is strengthening Foreign Auto Companies and putting american workers on unemployment.

So Honda, Toyota, Subaru, and other "foreign" automobile companies don't employ Americans?

And so what if these companies are "strengthened"? That's the way free market capitalism works: companies compete to make the highest quality product at the cheapest price. If American automobile companies made the best product, they would have the most sales.

Man, I hate that stupid argument. It's almost as bad as "immigrants are stealing our jobs".]]>Jul 22nd 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/Jul 22nd 2009 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/Jul 22nd 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/Jul 22nd 2009 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyuKEK7wmsw )

The US government now has the ability to disable your car at will. Perhaps if you don't make your mortgage payment to government owned banks or Fannie and Freddie. Or maybe you don't file your taxes properly.

Obama is making 1984 a reality. It's almost his mission statement.]]>Jul 22nd 2009 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/onstar-debuts-remote-ignition-block-to-shut-down-stolen-vehicles/
