Your feels are wrong.

An E60 M5? He said he has $70,000, not $700,000.

“while the economy is in the shitter. Delusions must be some sort of drug.”

Either the $500M number came straight from the UAW, or this analyst used to work for the RIAA doing calculations on how much money illegal downloads were costing music labels.  One download=one lost sale.  One unbuilt car=one lost sale.  Both wrong.

Neutral:  I have 3 kids and a mortgage, there’s no extravagance in my life.  Check your privilege, climate destroyer.

along with saddling workers with three percent of their health care costs.

The shitty thing about this situation is absolutely Temp and Tier 2 workers. That is a legitimate grievance.

I don’t really have an issue with Jalopnik editorializing a bit—I’ll read it, disagree, and move on—but this reads like the UAW newsletter.

They wonder why so much car production went to Mexico?

“We have full confidence in our union leadership....”

“Stick to DRIVING cars” is my favorite extremely specific stay-in-your-lane comment to date

I always tell my 4yo to work on his finger dexterity bc of all the job growth coming in human-driven manufacturing.
