This is a nice story. Ed seems like a nice and deserving fellow. I like this. But, ...
... there are thousands of others, just like Ed, who were victims of GM's 2009 "Fakeruptcy", which allowed GM to dispose of "unproductive debt" like pensioners and shareholders. GM continued on, with new stock, happy executives, and the old shareholders and retirees were left in the lurch.
Ed was one victim who was rescued. Good for him, but there are many others still struggling.
