...American consumer has already lost faith in his own ability to buy things. He knows he might lose his job, he might not qualify for a loan, that his house is worthless, and that the local Sears (SHLD) was closed.

People who have trouble buying things that they need probably do not want to have their problems compounded by worrying about what they should do if something they buy suddenly breaks...

And all of these are more private than gone-public Facebook. It’s not as if we have much of a choice anyway—parents and privacy may begin with the same letter, but that’s about where the similarities...

Over the course of the past three months, he has come to believe that the bondholders, who have thus far balked at taking GM stock for much of their debt, made a bad investment and should lose all their money, says one person familiar with the President's auto task force. Rattner also took the point in ousting GM chief Rick Wagoner over the weekend. Bloom, for his part, has taken day-to-day leadership in talks between Chrysler and Italian automaker Fiat. His union bona fides...
