GM hasn’t laid off anybody since the big cut at the beginning of 2019 where they let go approximately 14,000 workers between blue and white collar positions. During the pandemic, they’ve “deferred” salaries 20% and haven’t even laid off contract employees, just reduced they’re work week from 5 to 4 days (20%) to…

that being said, a lot of people put out of work that were making minimum wage before, got the extra $600/week for unemployment, and some of them have been making close to $1000/week to not work. Combine that with not being able to go anywhere or spend it, they likely were able to save quite a bit of money for a down …

by a lower permanent cost structure, what they’re really saying is that the “deferred salary” of 20% isn’t actually being deferred. There’s no way in hell they pay all of their salaried employees back that 20% in a lump sum, especially with an extra 6% as stated, and there’s no way in hell they return the worker’s…

You’re a bad journalist. Why is it seemingly impossible for you to write a single article without an overwhelming undertone of smug? 99.9% of the pieces you’ve written for Jalopnik are trash.

Does something being good make up for it being ugly?

If you are a person that stocked up on and hoarded foods that you don’t normally eat, you’re trash. The reason shortages happened is because people thought, “oh my god! I need to buy things that have a long shelf life like beans and rice!” but they’ve never made or eaten these things before, and then the people that…

here’s a tip: mayo on the bread, butter in the pan

all the automotive journalists need and want those clicks. They live for clickbait, and a highly anticipated vehicle release is a goldmine for a journalist as they can cover it for years.

6th gen camaro? The 5th gen was in production less time than they’ve been announcing/hinting at the Bronco. For the 6th gen release to be considered in the same class as the NSX/Supra/LFA in terms of “cocktease”, like the OP so elegantly put it, GM would have had to start teasing it from the moment the 5th gen was…

Chevy Suburban or Yukon XL. They can be found with roughly 100k miles, decently clean condition, and great running/driving shape for <$8,000. That’s going to be the most comfortable family hauler you can get, and one like you see below is going to be worth exactly the same amount 6 months/5,000 miles later (assuming…
