You start yelling at automated phone services when they can’t recognize the words you are saying.

You gotta love it...
So GM finally declared bankruptcy. Big shocker since they’ve only been saying it for months…I’m so glad our efficient government give them ridiculous sums of money knowing that they would still go under…I guess they figured that since taxpayers were going to pick up the bill, who cares?
