Bracing for fubar…
November 20, 2008 by Angry Black Bitch
Let’s jump right on in, shall we?
A bitch has been watching coverage of the hearings with auto industry CEOs and the stock market too.
Pause…check blood pressure…continue.
What the fuck?
I repeat, WHAT THE FUCK!!!?
Who the hell takes a private jet to a bailout hearing where they then beg for money? That was one huge FUCK YOU to strategery, assholes.
And where do we go from here?
***cue crickets***
Shit!
As much as a bitch shares the disgust over the ways and means of auto industry CEOs, I’m beyond worried about the impact the failure of that industry will have on communities across the nation.
Hell, it’s not just the auto industry…we’re bracing for layoffs in almost every business category.
In my community we have plants preparing to close…businesses going out of business…take-overs that will most likely result in layoffs…and all manner of shops and services that serve all those businesses that are now positioned perfectly to achieve fubar before the end of the year.
It’s like waiting for an attack you know will fucking devastate you.
And after every news segment covering economic drama this bitch mentally explores the options…umm, err the lack of options.
What business will come into town and replace the jobs already lost and those soon to be lost?
What industry will surge and replace the industries that are dying?
Pause…listen…continue.
Well, at least crickets are working overtime.
Blink.

Here’s the Willis plan for the the big 3 auto companies:
Top executive pay: $100K per year
Top hourly wage: $40 per hour
Stock options for all
Corporate jets to be sold
Take it or leave it.
Robb,
One dollar a month for the exec’s.
Top wage for workers-25 bucks an hour
Retired folks get 50% of what they are getting now.
Stock options disappear for everyone.
Corporate Jets sold and first class flying is a big no no too.
I put the stock options in there as an incentive, just in case they beat the high odds against tham and can turn things around. Currently, I’m sure any options out there now are worthless. A dollar a month is over-paying Wagoner, but I don’t think you’ll get some of the needed underlings to work essentially for free.
We can negotiate this, though, into a famously successful Dusty/Willis reorganization plan. Looks like only a little fine tuning is required before the whole country would be satisfied.
My neice, formerly Dusty Willis, is definitely on board.
