GM Closing Plants, Workers Celebrate

The Peoples’ Cube is a site I visit often for a few laughs at the expense of liberal/socialist die-hards, i.e., the Democrat Party, the owners and staff at Google, the State Department and the entire MSM.

“Red Square” is an author and moderator and has a delightfully Bolshevist way of mocking the old Soviet Empire and offending most leftists who still believe that Marxism has yet to be tried by the right people and when it is finally done (by them) the Glorious Revolution of the Proletariat will usher in a workers’ paradise.

In a post this week “Red Square” takes a satirical shot at General Motors and their announcement that they will close assembly lines of some gas-guzzling vehicles for the sake of the environment and Al Gore while eliminating thousands of jobs.

American automakers responded with great enthusiasm to yesterday's decision by General Motors to compost its gas-guzzling business model and close four pickup truck and SUV plants - a unilateral gesture of good will towards the environment that will result in 10,000 lost jobs.
The automaker communities are widely celebrating the event with eco-friendly block parties, Earth fairs, outdoor concerts of New Age music, drum circles in the wilderness, meditations, body painting, and unrhymed poetry readings that venerate the earth as a living, spiritual being that feels pain when it is bring drilled for oil.

GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner said before the automakers' annual meeting in Delaware that his conscience is finally clear of concerns about Global Warming and saving the polar bears. "Jobs should no longer be viewed as the source of income, economic stability, and overall satisfaction, because the government is supposed to take care of all that," he said. "Do we dream of bringing back industry? Or do we recognize that technology is an abomination against nature; that free enterprise is exploitation; that private property ownership is impossible; and Western Culture is the root of all evil?"

A former GM mechanic and now unemployed Matt Novak, 45, said he was thankful that saving the earth from oil extraction has finally outranked concerns about jobs and economy. "I may have no paycheck but I'm really excited that the caribou herds in ANWR are going to be safe and Big Oil executives are going to eat s***," he wrote in a touching poem dedicated to his wife and six children, that won a prestigious Earth Poet award at a storytelling festival in Ohio yesterday.
