"You are not eligible if you are an active GM employee, a seasonal worker, are self-employed, retired or receiving a severance."
GM, WTF is that?! Basically this writes everybody off. Why bother to offer this plan then? I'm screwed because I'm self-employed? Absolutely retarded. I think GM needs to focus more on accomodating Americans that do more than their fair share of making this nation great, offering this plan and then giving them rewards for their loyalty and dedication to GM products. Does GM realize how many entreprenuers that are in this country? They need to stop being so damn selective. Otherwise, why bother to offer this plan in the first place?! I would think that at least three of the five qualifications listed for ineligibility would actually have steady income. Doesn't sound like GM has much "Total Confidence" in their customers and that is insulting. Retarded.
