Dear American Government, Division of Automobile Manufacturing and Employment, [1]
I would not normally presume to question your business doings - but since I am now your creditor, you owe me some answers.
1. Finance
You're borrowing money at 8%. Lending at 0%.
How in Wide World of Sports do you expect to make a profit? Make it up on volume?
I'm pretty sure that 'bleeding money like a hemophiliac with his throat cut' was not in the plan you presented last month. Maybe it was in a footnote?
2. Public relations
The Chrysler Bureau put up a blog post. It attracted some attention - a whole lot of negative attention. The right way ... well there are a whole bunch of ways to handle this with aplomb.
The absolute worst way is to send it into the memory hole and look the other way, whistling a little tune and hoping the whole thing blows away.
Because it won't.
