Or, “fuck the UAW” to be extreme in the other direction- GM paying well over the 75th percentile for semi-skilled labor, paying well more for benefits premiums than even what “good benefits”-offering companies offer, among other things.

“but the workers say the dangerous nature of their job makes their current plan a necessity.”

Oh Id further add, that World Class ultra low co-pay health care, and in terms of GM’s case, the highest per hourly rate for workers in the manufacturing sector (sans-temps) in the world, combined with guarenteed bonuses at the rate of $1k per billion GM makes in profit for benefits sharing, and Id say your argument…

The economy is not a charity organization. See Russia if you think thats a cool plan. Stay educated.

NFL: here is a bajillion dollars. All you have to do is not be a despicable moron for few years, we good?

Nah.  Cobras are roadsters and Daytonas are coupes.  Neither of which should have a Buick under the hood.

The engine on this is a standard Ford 302 that you could find in any number of cars. The transmission is a ZF 5 speed that’s shared with the Ford GT40, the De Tomaso Pantera, the Maserati Bora, the Lancia 037, and, of all things, the BMW M1. The engine will be super-easy to work on; the transmission isn’t exactly…

We’re two years out. Just like flying cars!

They should be a reality within the month.

Can’t wait until self-driving cars (proven) are common, that’s going to fix everything.

Makes no sense.  States can set higher minimum wages, have different taxes, etc.  Why should this be any different than that?  I just don’t hope we wind up with a stupid vehicle roster like we do for handguns.

This subthread means nothing to 99% of the people reading it but for the folks who know this stretch of the 91, it’s delightful.

Just a hop skip to Redlands, Riverside, Pechanga, and the best crappy wine country west of Texas.

I mean there are some nicer places, but having to rely on the 91?  Ugh :(

That’s what I’m saying. People live there because they have to, not because they want to.

If you aren’t a die-hard represented labor supporter you’re evil here apparently.

What kind of corrupt kingpin chooses Corona to retire in of all places?

When Federal law enforcement does raids, the guns are always out until all subjects are contained. Regardless of the charges. Come on, don’t be so clickbaity. 

You cannot out-utility a utility vehicle. There is no way to make a sedan more practical or even as practical as a crossover. A sedan should be designed with looks, performance and handling in mind. It needs to be a car that people WANT to buy, not a car that people need to buy.

What is the union going to do when all those jobs are being done by robots and they are no longer needed? Their conditions are already incredible - they pay basically nothing for healthcare, have fantastic benefits, make 2-3x as much as the average American (these line workers are making $60-120k, median income in my…
