New York Times

Responding to a consumer shift to more fuel-efficient vehicles, General Motors said Tuesday that it would stop making pickup trucks and big S.U.V.s at four North American assembly plants and would consider selling its Hummer brand.
Yeeeee Hawwww! Another corner turned! So long 19,000 jobs.

Tuesday's announcement comes a few days after G.M. said said that 19,000 hourly workers -- a quarter of a unionized work force that already has been drastically pared down -- have accepted buyouts.
