The Fall of GM - a visual guide

Published by Jess 1 day, 16 hours ago in charts and graphs, economics, government. 9 responses.

Many aspects of this graphic can apply to the rest of the Big Three but I focused on GM since they are in the most dire position.  GM has many woes, the least of which is a shortfall of money, so why do people think that an infusion of cash will do anything but prolong the agony?

So here it is, a visual guide to why GM won’t be around much longer.  Unless ofcourse they can actually form a game plan to get some of these metaphorical shipping containers off their backs.  Another thing I wanted to stress is that the conversation about the decline of General Motors involves singular finger pointing. “It’s the unions”, “It’s management”.  Bottom line is you will need a lot of fingers because the root causes are plenty and the cumulative effect is what’s taking this ship down.

I created this little pictogram to sum up the economy lately.  I think it works on many levels.  If it doesn’t make sense to you, that is OK.

All content from WallStats.com and blog have been banned from Digg.com.  According to Digg’s TOS, they do not allow websites that promote a product.  It doesn’t matter if the product is the most effective tool in deciphering the Federal budget or that the product has been praised by government leaders, university professors, and thousands of enlightened citizens all over the world.  Nor does it matter that hundreds of advertising and product supported websites fill the ranks of Digg’s links.  For some reason, WallStats.com and the Death and Taxes poster is contraband.  Being a small-time one-person business with a double digit advertising budget, I rely on the social networks and bookmarking sites to spread the good word of government transparency.  If you think it is quite ridiculous to ban WallStats.com from Digg, then please email support@digg.com and tell them so.


Thanks,
