Small details like Toyota having 1500 dealerships in the US and GM having 7000+ with both roughly at 20% of auto market. The GM dealerships that have contacts w/GM that can't be broken from what I've heard unless they going into BK (NPR yesterday). Just one example of why BK probably needs to happen for GM to be competitive again. It's not just the union contracts. I agree on the jobs, but again if there's waste the money is better spent elsewhere. Are car sales going to improve in the next few years? Probably not. They just be asking for more money a few years from now. Obviously not all the jobs will be lost in a BK situation.
