Hummer belong to the Chinese
When I was ten, I used to listen to my late father's stories about the fall of the Berlin wall, how they lived the War of 1973, how they saw history being written, and he simply told me that I shouldn't be jaleous of his generation because we will also witness amazing historic events... like the following one:
General Motors is officially bankrupt.
Once the dragon of the american economy and the symbol of a booming industry GM was the global sales leader for 77 consecutive calendar years from 1931 to 2007, the company
broke another record by being America's biggest ever industrial failure with debts of 172 billion $.
I spare you the details of the new structure of the bust company, but I emphasize on one very ironic fact concerning the brand Hummer.
Hummer is originally the vehicle of the american army, then with the H1 it started being available to the public, and with the H2 it incarnated the American dream. It also symbolises new bourgeoisie and is an ambassador for gas-guzzlers.
However this symbol of a successful america is today being sold to the chinese commies: The republic of the people will be the producer of THE american vehicle.
My father was right...
