With GM dropping the other shoe today, I can’t help remembering a snippet of dialogue from Hitchock’s “Rear Window.” Here’s Thelma Ritter as a private nurse talking about a former patient:
“Kidney ailment, they said. Nerves, I said. And I asked myself, ‘What’s General Motors got to be nervous about?’ Overproduction, I says. Collapse. When General Motors has to go to the bathroom ten times a day, the whole country’s ready to let go.”
Especially the workers at the roughly 15 plants and 2,600 dealerships that are scheduled to be put out to pasture by the end of next year.
