Exxon-- $11 billion 2d quarter profit; GM-- $15 billion 2d quarter loss
Crikeys. I'm trying to lay off General Motors while it dies of self-inflicted wounds, but I couldn't help but notice the $15 billion 2d-quarter loss. Wow. They lost about $2 billion (which is about a third of their market capitalization) just on SUV leases. Exxon's profit got all the headlines, but I think GM's results are more historically significant.

GM does seem to get that one day there might not be enough oil. It builds SUVs that get 12 mpg and cost $50k. Who the heck is buying these things???
I don't get it.
