So long, and thanks for all the....

... errr, on second thoughts, what *has* GM given us that wasn't utterly forgettable?

At 9:30am tomorrow morning, a group of lawyers representing bankrupt auto supplier Delphi will appear in front of a federal judge. The lawyers will file legal motions for Sections 1113 and 1114. It’s a legal request to void Delphi’s current collective bargaining agreements with the United Auto Workers (UAW). The moment the judge says the word “granted,” he will terminate the wage structure, post-retirement health care and life insurance plans for the company’s 33k US hourly workers. The UAW will respond with a strike against Delphi. Starved of its former subsidiary’s parts, GM’s assembly lines will fall silent. The General will begin its final slide into Chapter 11.

There's only one word for how I feel about GM's impending implosion:
Schadenfreude.
