How is this relavent to GM recalling 40 000 cars?

It isn't. Prof is like a cross between Chicken Little and Whack-A-Mole.
One day I heard Mr. Limbaugh tell people NOT to buy American cars because of the damn unions.
The fuel leaks sound like the result of a design or engineering flaw. Once again the professional class can't hold up its end and tries to blame the people who carry out their instructions.
the stimulus was too small
I doubt it.
Actually, I doubt it was the designers themselves, lots of times professional bean counters will review designs and make changes to cut costs, it happens a great deal, I remember in a solenoid valve in a product I used to repair it had seals rated to 90psi with a 100psi pressure vent, the company bought these and thier "efficiency engineers" decided instead of buying a vale rated for 200psi they would just replace the spring in the pressure relief system. Turns out, this causes a high failure rate of seals, but the original designers were not at fault, but still blamed for it.
Orc efficiency experts are still the professional class and probably make lots more than say mechanical engineers and cause more problems most likely.
To the PRESSES!

Care to try again? I played softball in the company league for four years and my team(as well as pretty much everyone else) beat the crap out of the office team each time we played them. It's just amazing how those who make the most money in a corporation, supposedly because of their heavy responsibilities, have an excuse why it is the hourly workers' fault anytime there's a screw up. It's a primary reason they aren't respected in the workplace.
LOL, I was referencing your finger pointing in the same way you accuse your coworkers. You have a lot of envy, or disdain, for people who are paid for their jobs and not for their time. Professionally, to what do you aspire in your life?
Actually, I have contempt for incompetence. The fact that in corporate America the most incompetent are often the highest paid and least responsible for their actions just magnifies my contempt. That's why I want to vomit whenever the right starts acting like this country, and especially the business sector, is a meritocracy.

You got a source to back this up, or you just blabbing off?

GM said its U.S. sales fell more than 6 percent last month as a money-back guarantee offer failed to attract many buyers.
The company blamed much of the drop from a year ago on reduced sales to rental car companies. But retail sales to individual buyers fell 3 percent.
GM's sales continued to lag growth in the overall market.
The original article says they are replacing a plastic part that can crack causing fuel leaks. The part is more likely to crack in warm or hot weather climates. Since the part isn't already cracked when the car comes off the assembly line, that would tend to eliminate the likelihood of an error in assembly. Someone either designed a part that is defective or approved the use of an already existing part that was inadequate to the task. Would you like me to explain how a toilet works next?
Show me in the article where this occurs.Once again the professional class can't hold up its end and tries to blame the people who carry out their instructions.
