My personal observation/comments regarding GM's endeavor to compete with foreign car competion. Embedded healthcare factors:
Time for thoughtful people to learn that 360/million US residents, insured or not, are transferring wealth (unrecordable to carriers of the nations' healthcare each time they buy something, or pay a tax (federal, state, county, city, townships, fireman, police, city workers, etc, etc. to health insurance carriers, a tangled maze of random healthcare-factors, resulting in inflated prices on all American goods and services, both here and in all exports.
Over 17/million new cars sold in 2007. Each accumulating additional layers of healthcare factors: registration, insurance, loans, permits, etc,etc...all these, also with overlaying embedded healthcare factors, thus pyramiding unrecorded healthcare factors to perhaps $trillions transferring randomly to carriers when included with purchases of all consumer goods.
GM's former pricing dilemma for instance: acknowledged factor for workers' healthcare ($1600). Add to this, unrecordable $billions of embedded healthcare factors for all GM vendors' items (which also are laden with factors embedded sub-components) and you get some idea why GM has failed to outsell foreign cars, all due to our non-system (pyramid) of random healthcare factors, a sink-hole in our already sinking economy.
Former U.S. Attorney General, John Ashcroft announced, "the most important function of government is to protect its citizens from harm."

I think someone should mention that Henry Macklowe had a lot to do with the glass cube. Based on my understanding he came up with the idea and sold it to Apple. http://money.cnn.com/2008/02/14/real_estate/real_estate_mogul.fortune/index.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.191.175.130 ( talk) 15:11, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
