GM Fires Invest in at New York Times Columnist
Earlier this week we highlighted a column near Thomas Friedman that ran in the New York Times above the weekend. In it, Mr. Friedman proposed giving federal bailout currency to start ups and inventors as an alternative of companies like Common Motors, which he called a affluence demolition mechanism.
Admirably, not surprisingly, GM doesn't concur. On its FastLane blog today, spokesperson Tom Wilkinson fired invest in in a postal service called Two Toms, Two Utopias. He likens Mr. Friedman to Thomas More, the 16th century creator of the volume Utopia.
With that in intelligence, Wilkinson wrote, For centuries, Utopians possess dreamed of letting the elderly earth blaze and edifice a new novel earth fair above the view. In the instance of the auto production, which holds a latchkey to solving the worldwide vitality baffle, such dreams are a risky digression from the rigid labour at hand.
So which Tom do you concur with?
