Chrysler-Fiat Deal

We have all heard in the present news about the bankruptcy of Chrysler, LLC. In this analysis I will try and weed out the gibberish and corporate America’s strong choice of thesaurus words. We all want to know sometimes why things happen, but find ourselves with a headache trying to understand the concept of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. The Supreme Court has put an abrupt hold on the bankruptcy procedure of Chrysler, LLC. This has delayed Fiat’s (Italian automaker) acquisition of Chrysler. The judge overseeing this deal has already granted assets to a new company which Fiat would hold a good portion of the shares. However, this week, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg delayed this transaction. “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.” Apparently the Indiana State Pension Fund and other associated lenders have realized…hey what about our loan money. If this deal were to go through with Chrysler and Fiat, the $49 million loaned to Chrysler will get paid back $0.29 on the dollar. Apparently now days all you have to do is file bankruptcy. You don’t lose your assets, you keep your job, loans get paid back in chicken feed, and you never miss a day of production. Why don’t we all go bankrupt, it looks like a good deal. There is a lot more to this story and the opinions of other people who we will never remember their name, but I believe I have narrowed down the truth with a little bit of my own influence. In conclusion, if you don’t care about our economical development go borrow $49 million. Then build your company off the hard working people of America. When you have decided your CEO, CFO, and affiliates are retarded financial advisors, return the thanks for everyone who got you where you are, with a big loop hole in today’s justice system. Enjoy the Bahamas Chrysler while we are left to drive a Fiat.

Assignment 2-1 Weekly Analysis

In recent popular culture, there has been a long awaited release for the new movie New Moon. Developed based off the book by New York Time’s best selling author, Sarah Moyer, New Moon is expected to top the charts of this season’s movie releases. New Moon is the second book in the Twilight series. The movie Twilight, which was released November of 2008, sold $3 million in its first day of DVD sales.
New Moon follows an ongoing epic story of a young girl named Bella that’s in love with her “teenage” looking vampire boyfriend Edward. Bella realizes even more so than before, that being around vampires can be dangerous for your health. Bella turns 18 and is thrown a birthday party by Edwards’s family, the Cullen’s. As Bella is opening a gift she cuts herself on the wrapping. Inflamed by the pouring blood Jasper (Edwards vampire brother) lunges at Bella. Protecting Bella, Edward dashes in front of her and saves her life. Edward realizes that love means more than one thing. It means being with the person you love no matter what, but not if being with them could kill them. He picks up his family and leaves Bella for the better of the relationship. Bella breaks down but finds friendship in her friend Jacob (a Native American werewolf). As Edward is away he is uninformed that Bella has died, and sends himself off to do the same. The rest is a battle for time.
New Moon’s release date is November 2009. Popular culture has greatly made its impact here. Trying to search New Moon and Twilight on the internet has been replaced from its scientific meaning to thousands of search pages of the Twilight saga.
