It would just give the other manufacturers more business and they would hire more people.
Don't argue logic. I had these arguments on here way back when it happened. Some people just think that if GM went out of business then those potential buyers would never purchase another truck again, that percentage of the market would just disappear and all those potential sales would be lost. They cannot seem to fathom that those buyers would go elsewhere, those other manufacturers would increase their production, that increased production would lead to increased demand for parts suppliers, dealerships, salesmen, mechanics, etc.
Let them live in La-La Land.

Could not find it? Got a link? Maybe post some of the particulars in this thread? I'd like to get a good laugh in also.

This blew up on my GMT800 Facebook board.
Some stuff that came out after the fact:
Truck was going 40mph, Trailer was actually 3900lbs.
Everything left the ground. This came to the GMT800 board from a guy who is on the Colorado board who posted all the findings. They beat on the owner pretty good for lying about it.
It is 2900lbs dry.
If you have Facebook go read it. I laughed the whole time.
Guy removed himself from the board.

To reply to this would be political, but if you looked at history you might find "preserve to union voter base" and "expense shareholders" pretty much out of character for your statement...
Over years I have seen many pickups bent like in the OP. Small pickups pulling welders or air compressor on single axle, no brake chassis.
I was referring to "They should have been allowed to fail." followed by "Yeah, and your reasoning would make for massive unemployment. Brilliant!"
My point is that the " massive unemployment" issue is debatable but I recognize that the truth will never be known on that.

I can't prove that he was jumping any more than somebody else can prove that he was jumping. There is no way that GM can prove it either. If they're going to deny his claim for being 100 lbs. over without brakes I see a problem with the manufacturer. I wouldn't buy one of their products. They should have been allowed to fail.
Yeah, and your reasoning would make for massive unemployment. Brilliant!:R
