Don't tell us Fritz. That's bullshit. Fritz didn't can Rick Wagoner. If we were at all real writers and knew how to do research, that's the question we'd ask.
It's not so much that we feel badly for Mr. Wagoner, but we don't understand why the United States government is calling these kinds of shots in the autos sector. Hell, they are considering the bonuses for all of Wall Street despite its colossal fuck up. And, even now, BoA is considering massive raises for employees... Didn't the government have BoA and Merrill Lynch merge? How come they aren't calling the same kinds of shots there?
