However, though Moore uses irony to get his point across, he made no mention that these people may have been irresponsible with the money that they were earning from their jobs, and whether or not they actually worked for GM. He is placing all of the blame to a company, who's mission statement is probably along the lines of 'provide people with cars and make profit', not be responsible for peoples irresponsible spending and living conditions. It's a sad situation, but the blame should at least be distributed where it's due.<br /><br />Alex..https://www.blogger.com/profile/11604114736833983396noreply@blogger.com
