GM will now be run by the Government.
Governments nowhere in the worlds have run Industry successfully. If Govt, then the enterprise is meant to be sucked . For the simple reason, because there are no owners of the organization. The share holder is the public and public in Virtual mode .
Governments all over the world only know stamping and signing papers and creating obstructions in the name of controls and if it is a Third world country, then using the obstruction to extort money form the public.
Function of Government to have a functional public serving community is still a theoretical concept.
As the technology moves further, finally someday, it would be Technology in its auto mode, which will be serving the people and Governments will be only caretakers of Technology. This Utopian day is not so far.
Meantime, GM will be Zombie car and all GM owners will be teased for owning a zombie car. Pity the tax payers of USA for still further draining of their money into the Zombie car.

US Afghan War
US Afghan war now about to enter the 8th year. In fact, one has to say, the war is being fought by NATO and not just US.
NATO is interestingly an alliance of 28 strong countries, which includes US, UK, Germany, Norway, Greece, Denmark, Turkey and the Eastern Block most countries .
Given the expertise of some of the most powerful armies in the world with the best artillery, fighter jets, espionage etc etc, the war in Afghanistan should have been over in 15 days. However, it is now going to be 8 years and let us read further what the Generals keep saying.
Every time you switch the TV on Afghan war news and one of the NATO generals will say, that NATO is loosing out the war in some places and is under control in some places.
NATO a powerful army of 28 nations with the most modern equipments and Taliban a Rag Tag Army .
NATO on Fighter Jets and Tanks and what not and Talibans riding the donkeys.
NATO has the technology to keep the whole country under surveillance and Taliban still managing to find routes for food, arms supplies and more.
NATO would have killed more civilians in the course of last 8 years, then the Talibans, despite the many cautionary notes given to the armies . Talibans anyway kill only civilians.
Is there any rational mind in this world, who can believe that the armies of 28 countries fighting a rag tag donkey riding Taliban and still announcing that they have been loosing out to the Talibans.
Well, if this is the case, then God alone can save most of these allied force countries, as a simple guerrilla organization can take over the full country in no time and none of them will ever be able to clean up the same.
For Countries like Afghanistan, you don't need a War Machine and a Trained Army for the clean up, all you need is to go to the African war torn countries and recruit the guerrilla warriors and ask them to do the clean up job for you. Within 6 months, the country is fully cleaned up and the Guerrilla's will put their new flag and call it Af-Ghana.
Much simpler then all the energies being drained by so many Presidents of the world in controlling Talibans.
It is sometimes the most simplest solutions , which are never thought about and used.
So many lives lost and so much annihilation and so many years and yet no sign of peace.
One thing is certain the Chief of NATO and Chief of US operations in Afghanistan surely need to be sacked for such a poor job performance.

Air France Jet Crash
First my sympathies with the Loss of the loved ones on this flight.
The mysterious accident is a puzzle, which someday National Geographic will show on its channel.
Many speculations so far. But let us wait till the debris is collected and some semblance of order is restored on the accident.
What sometimes puzzles me is the way, the accidents are either reported or addressed. The Air France plane disappeared after a certain time from the radar, so we know the time points and we know the speed of the aircraft and we know the path taken by the flight. So, what was so mysterious in locating the plane. Plus or Minus some miles and you cannot miss the plane.
And it took 2 days for the authorities to find out . And here I was making my Psyche work and announced that the plane debris would be around 467 kms from the Brazil shore. Hmmmmmm and I am wrong so far, it has been found 650 kms away. However, I should have done the maths myself and no need for a Psyche work.
However, sudden air accidents on account of storm or lightening is not really digestible by me. There is something more then that. I have had more then 1000 flights in my life and I know well, what happens in case of bad weather.
The only possible reason, which would come to my mind is that the fuel tank suddenly burst because of some short circuit , but not because of lightening, however, on account of some other failure and the plane went crashing. Otherwise, no matter how harsh the storm, the pilot always has time to manoeuvre and also sent distress signals.
The fuel tank burst would have ,most likely come out of air conditioning fault. Normal cause of over loading.
Let us wait and see, what the final reports are all about.

General Motors. Du Pont, Citi Bank, etc
GM bankruptcy was predicted by me long back and from the first time Bush Doled out the first billion dollars package and then came the next tranche from Obama and now GM becomes the nationalized company with 60% Government owned .
If I was to just do a simple maths and work out the Dollars that were doled out to the GM to save the company. It would well have worked giving the Employees that much sum for Job Loss Compensation and people would have made hundreds of other small profitable businesses then saving a Junk Old company which anyway should have sunk under its own weight.
This reminds me of the film made by an American Documentary producer, who filmed the very first GM plant that was shut and moved to Mexico ( by the joker Robert Smitch, then MD ) and the plight of the people there. I guess the curse of people was so strong that today GM will be a History chapter.
No surprise for me , when such Mega Giant companies fail. The management structure of these companies is so inherently defective that most of the time, there is a war between the management functions itself. Finance against marketing against manufacturing against logistics etc etc. As for the Customer is concerned, he is the Top on the Holy Cow on all the slogans , but factually is only a Milking Cow. Suck it dry and leave it bones only.
Not that Toyoda cars were any great, but Toyoda is a far more disciplined organization. The cars have reliability built in it. Never will a car stop in the middle of nowhere for a component failure , nor is it a fuel guzzler , nor beast looking.
Well, GM fall is a very very long subject. But coming back, companies of this size are sure to sink, whether it is Enron or GM or DuPont or CitiBank.
I sent a mail to DuPont for a sample of Fluropolymer for my next product and now is more then a month, but the sales guy has not reverted, this is despite several reminders.
No wonder, DuPont Exited all the Textile fibre business, but it is not so far from being another GM.
CitiBank is still worse. The bank believes that it is bigger then its customers. Nothing can stop its collapse. Just watch for more time.
