This is a sad fact, buying good quality tools is hard these days, at least without going broke. Most “name brands” are decent enough that you’ll be fine for light use, but I try to only get really high quality stuff for what I use most often. In the case of emergencies I just go to the closest place which is either…

This is a big deal in the car community, because Harbor Freight is a go-to for pretty much every automotive wrencher I know

I’m on board with this idea.  Cadillac needs a halo car that screams over the top American luxury (not understated British or German luxury), and the majority of their lineup needs to go back to being plush, comfortable places to be instead of trying to compete with what everyone else is doing.  Make yourself into an…

I’m not sure I understand what you’re referring to. “50%” was the data point given in the article, how does that not refer to a percentage?

So don’t show up?

Well he definitely didn’t miss it.

You can still pay them benefits, same as you would if they took unpaid vacation.

GM loves safety and its workers. But does it love them more than it loves making fat profits off of GMC Yukons? We will see.

As nations around the world try to get their economies humming again, the number of coronavirus tests coming back positive has turned into the metric to watch.

You can’t be both? I mean, if you’re protesting and decide to loot, are you no longer a protester? If you loot a store for supplies to make a sign to protest, are you no longer a looter?

Right? It’s amazing how every article I see about “so and so is in trouble for saying something people don’t like” has the word “Facebook” shortly after. The fact that this guy doesn’t realize you risk everything by publicly disagreeing with whatever the current group-think trend is proves that he’s not very smart.…

Oh I completely disagree, this case has merit in my opinion. The facts are the FCA did bribe union officials, and FCA also has lower negotiated labor rates than GM. GM would need to prove via evidence that the two are related and not merely coincidence, and I would assume that they have at least some evidence in hand…

I actually think GM has a good reason to sue in this case, though.  FCA is known and proven to have bribed UAW officials, and their negotiated labor rates have been lower for years.  GM would need to prove that the two are directly related, and I’m not sure how you would do that without witness testimony, but the…

I’m the first to agree that our court system, especially when it comes to monetary claims, is royally screwed up and the only people who benefit 100% of the time is the lawyers (win or lose). That said, the federal government has already proven its case against multiple UAW officials regarding bribes they received from…

None of what you said makes any sense in the context of the legal system. GM getting bailed out has no bearing on the case, they paid back the money they received with interest. FCA was bailed out as well, does that mean they should be allowed to [allegedly] engage in bribery and racketeering? How does black lives…

If he thought the case had no merit he would have thrown it out, which he did not do. Instead he said “this will take a long time and cost a lot of money, I want you two (literally the two CEOs) to work it out in person”. He also used the whole “there are more important things going on” BS, which is something a lazy…

Accurate. Apparently this lawsuit triggered an epiphany in the judge that the entire legal system, at least on the non-criminal side, is basically designed to line lawyer’s pockets and screw both sides as much as possible.  Not sure why he chose this case to take a stand on, other than your gif.

There is no “but”, he said only “yes” or “no” were acceptable answers. Which is even stranger, because he’s not asking if they tried to work it out, he’s asking if it’s done, which... duh, of course not.

Right? “Aww, this is going to cost so much money and be so hard to figure out, why don’t you guys just shake on it instead?”

Except it’s true.  GM believes they have a legitimate grievance against Chrysler (and they likely do, as does Ford), so they took them to court and the judge said “this ain’t my job, figure it out yourselves”.  Only it is his job.  It’s literally his job.  Honestly it sounds like he’s just tired of being a judge (I…
