Christ! Chrysler, WTF?!

Chrysler LLC is closing its plants for the rest of the year starting tonight, 18 Dec 2008 CE, and does not plan to reopen them until a month has passed (19 Jan 2009 CE). This is being done to cut costs, they say.This comes at no worse time, as job seekers expect to find no work until the recession is over.If Chrysler cannot reopen its plants, it will have to shut down its operations for good. This will mean Detroit will lose 100K jobs, but it will lose more than that. It will also lose basically its whole economy, which is based on cars.
