I couldn't make it past the first sentence without wanting to correct you. The number of enemies you make will number well beyond 300,000. Some estimates put it at 2-3 million.
I personally can't provide any concrete data to support any number. However, I am a direct GM employee, and I can reassure you that the salary I receive spends an all-too-brief period of time in my hands, before it is reinvested into the local, state, and federal economy. Much of it goes into paying a mortgage. A large portion goes into local department stores, schools, restaurants, theaters, charities and banks.
I have no idea how many jobs that money actually supports, but I have a feeling that when multiplied by the number of people who are currently employed by GM, it adds up to a number that is difficult for most to comprehend.
So, yes you have made enemies of 300,000 people. But you have also made enemies of a much, much larger number. It is sad though, that many of them do not realize it yet, and many of them might indeed be naive enough to buy your "Let GM fail" philosophy.
