End of an Error

The Hummer.

Dead Hummer 2In the grimness of the economic news, here's one gleaning that brought joy to my heart:

Hummer is expected to close by the end of this month if a buyer does not emerge.

I know it's bad to gloat, but the Hummer has always struck me as a perfect encapsulation of just about everything that's been wrong with North American transportation.

Does this mean that they just need to sell one Hummer, to stay in business?

As stupid and wasteful as Hummer was (hopefully soon) remember that there are a lot of people who will lose their jobs because of this. Hopefully a greener industry can move into the area where these jobs were or at least the displaced workers can get assistance moving to the areas where those jobs are/will be.
