Shaver, you’re a fag. IF this is the new world economy, then good. We don’t need to be getting anally raped over prices spiralling up and out of control and then having union monkeys jumping on the dogpile.

At this point, it’s dog eat dog in this society. If you have no job security and you’re getting paid poorly, it’s because THAT’S your station in life. No excuses, no free lunches. You want to move up in the world, get off your ass and make it happen. It’s the American Dream ladies. You want hyperunionization and a security blankie to suck on? Hop in your time machine and head back to mother Russia circa 1982.

We were singing,
“bye-bye, miss american pie.”
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, “this’ll be the day that I die.
“this’ll be the day that I die.”

I heard on the news that GM offered up to 140K per worker to leave. Those 19,000 are the smartest ones around. Now then can move to Indiana or Ohio and work for Honda.

Good for GM. Get rid of the lazy freeloaders and let them go ruin the quality of Toyotas and Hondas

Not to mention that you will not get a job in union shop if you drive non-union wheels. They will destroy the car. You think they are animals on this site? In real life it is much worse. And if you think it is translates into patriotism and apple pie – it’s actually not. It is pure wolf pack mentality which has no logic behind it.

Are you kidding? Ford does not allow non-Ford vehicles in its parking lots. If you are visitor and don’t drive Ford you walk about 3/4 mile to the building.

While all this was somewhat inevitable and I’m not here to pick sides, you have to admit there’s some irony in the guy who’s tightening bolts on your $50,000 Enclave showing up to work everyday in a Subaru Justy.

Big Three continue to cut American jobs, the big three from Japan continue to create jobs for American workers – LLN this is plagiarism. I feel robbed of ideas.
