What a nice present. It seems some multinationals, have a splendid feel for the "right" timing.

Job losses in US vehicle manufacturing are expected to top 100,000 as the big three attempt restructuring for survival. Daimler-Chrysler is forecasting 400,000 less vehicles for 2008 production, with remaining facilities operating at 100% capacity. Chrysler is definitely for sale.

It's really sad to see this important jobs get cut. We're losing jobs in the auto industry like crazy, but at least we're cutting up the slack with fast food jobs
