The ruthlessness of corporate America is very clear to me, but when publicly elected political official shows that much disinterest in the matter of layoffs at GM that is just a new level of hubris. The newly elected Michigan governor promised to do what she can about this and make sure that Michigan residents don't have to look for jobs elsewhere, but when she met With the company CEO recently, the issue, as they say, “didn’t come up”. That clearly shows the level of commitment the governor is going to have to resolve this matter.
