Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

GM and Ford in horrible shape

GM and Ford are both in bad shape. GM has lost critical resources due to buy-out, has horrible culture and Ford has too much fat in their system.

If GM and Ford were people, then GM would be one with cancer and Ford would be morbidly obese with BP and diabetes.

Unless Michigan has employment opportunities outside automotive, it's better to move out of the state altogether!

Quotes, parenthesis, exclamation points, and a hyphen. That's at least six points. The competition's getting fierce.*

the lights in the office are blue;
all heads are at their screens
morbid and obese with a somber hue


Poetry, (3) prepositional phrases, (3) capitalized first words, a "call back" and a semi-colon!
I can do it all Nancy!

Now we have a psychologist, ah ha ha ha. Wow, you must really think you're special. I almost responded to the "dangling modifier" comment about how this person probably says they're bruising people's egos when people get tired of being stuck in meetings listening to their witty comments about psychology and quantum physics. I'm glad I didn't because this made my day. Projecting, ahhhh ha ha ha. I know you are but what am I. Can you tell me why the color temperature of the lights in he office is wrong. I'm surprised you passed up the chance for a semicolon in that last sentence.

"morbidly obese with BP and diabetes"

The OP is projecting their ailments on inanimate organizations.

"Unless Michigan has employment opportunities outside automotive"

Can't see the forest through the trees? Every imaginable career is available in Michigan. Name one that isn't! Short on facts, low on information.

Oooo, I'm so triggered by your pointless regurgitation of grammar related phrases. Nope, no argument for you. You win again!

No valid argument? Let your inner grammar na-i loose. If semicolons trigger you, I’m wondering how a dangling modifier or an overused prepositional phrase might set you off.

Does high output mean you don't have time to capitalize? I do agree, there aren't any good jobs outside of Michigan XD I'm not defending the lifers. I think they dragged the company down with their selfishness. That culture hasn't changed. Nice semicolon, though. Are these posts getting scored by the amount of superfluous punctuation we use?

Fallacy.

  1. many other careers in Michigan outside automotive
  2. name the great opportunities outside of Michigan
  3. “GM has lost critical resources due to buy-out” - low output seniors who earn too much are not critical; that’s why they were encouraged to leave
