On the one hand, Mitt Romney, whom I don't like, says let the auto makers figure it out themselves. On the other, Jeff Sachs, whom I admire, says bail them out. What to do? Both think this is the opportunity we need for restructuring and pushing towards sustainability and greening. Romney is trying to get rid of unions. Sachs thinks throwing money at the problem is the best solution. And I'm particularly interested as this is my hometown - when they collapse, they take an already embattled midwest with them. Detroit employs more than autoworkers - some of the best and brightest of the midwestern universities (and beyond) work for them. <br><br>On the other hand - I told you so.

On the other hand – I told you so. Those of us who got torn down for being treehuggers simply because environmentalism makes us think in the long-term are feeling our bitter satisfaction.

As for why GM and not Circuit City – I assume industry falling makes a bigger impact than a big box retailer….

And on being scared – that's not fear. That's fearlessness. :)

My biggest concern is that there will be some sort of social unrest. I think the recent developments - spending tons of bail-out money - may be the last drop. Until very recently corporate profits have represented the largest percentage of GDP and the income disparity between the rich and poor has grown steadily. To top it off, corporations and the wealthy are mostly the beneficiaries of the bail-out. When are the masses going to be mad enough to scream "enough is enough"? (Mind you, I have been lucky enough to be on the "right" side of the equation.) I read the link to the nytimes blog, too. My biggest concern is that there will be some sort of social unrest.
