I learned today that GM is not contributing a penny to Flint’s celebration of the corporation’s 100th birthday. GM did send an executive to give a couple speeches. The guy lives in Flushing, about five miles west of the city.
This information has soften my heart toward the event. Yesterday, when I thought GM was footing the bill, it all seemed cold and ironic. Today, it just seems sad and pathetic — or at best bittersweet. I guess you can view the party as being for Flint itself. I guess you have to view it that way since GM is not showing up.
However, GM is funding a celebration. It will be In October. In Detroit.
