why? I mean why are they suing really? for cash? GM is a global automobile supplier what's the point of destroying the company?
why are they suing really?
-For accountability? I mean, this is a company that without the bailout of the US Govt doesn't exist. Then, they knowingly bury data that would have led most consumers to avoid their vehicles in search of a safer alternative. People died and they kept information buried. Without the kind of repercussions that actually hurt, what's to stop them and other businesses from continuing such practices?
I was unaware there were intentional cover-ups, I thought it was just their poor manufacturing, not that it would negate their liability. You're certainly right that it sends an important warning, I'm just wondering what would happen if GM actually got wiped out, maybe it's a matter of suing for just the right amount to have the desired affect.
