Not that you necessarily need convincing that GM is doomed no matter how much cash is thrown at it, but here’s a cool graphic that shows all of the auto company’s problems as piles of shipping containers.

The designer also created the Death & Taxes poster (for sale on his site) that you probably saw last year.
