Also, I work for a company with fewer than 250 employees, worldwide. I came in, 3.5 years ago, as an IC, and have since been promoted three times. I’m not some 50-something fat cat, cashing in on past experience, I’m a 34 year old project manager/cybersecurity director/cybersecurity engineer/everything else I’m

The head of the IAM is not managing, nor taking on risk for the members of the IAM. If you think that, you have no idea how companies or other organizations, such as unions, actually work. The risk, especially for unions, is at the local level, and that’s where union leaders, many of them hard working, honest folks,

Jesus, I live in Charleston, SC, and there are DOZENS of Hellcats around here. My neighbor has one, though he prefers to talk about the Ferrari that he NEVER drives. Our local Dodge dealer has like nine sitting out front, and there are at least four in the parking lot at work.

What does it matter? It’s still income. You pay taxes immediately when you vest, so if you get $1k worth of stock, you likely walk away with about $600 worth of value, after taxes. Thus, that money can be withdrawn whenever you want, with no additional tax liability. This isn’t a 401(k) or traditional IRA, where

Form your union. If you can. It’s purely anecdotal, but when given the choice, a lot of people that I personally know (including my father, who was a pressman for 35 years) have voted unions down. Boeing is a stunning example of that, in recent news.

They’ll have three AEGIS Destroyers by 2020, and that will make them immeasurably more badass.

If you’ve got a cheesesteak in there, you might be able to dangle it on a line and catch an unsuspecting Eagles fan.

I’m already in upper management, so...

I don’t have a response for you, other than that I don’t see an issue with a CEO making a reasonable salary, based on the job that they do and the risk they manage within the company. As the overall head of a MASSIVE organization with responsibility for ~157k employees, I don’t see that as excessive, or an undue

They’re completely different.

Yeah, but no sway bar on a heavy ass car like that means that the car is going to corner like garbage. It would be way better (though heavier) if they had integrated a ‘disconnectable’ sway bar, in the same way that a Wrangler can electronically disconnect its sway bars to provide for greater articulation.

I’ll do what I want. Go back to hating everything.

What’s so dangerous about the last generation Mustang chassis? The S197 was a fantastic platform that idiots drove? (mine was drive only like a gentleman racer, I’ll have you know)

Yeah, but there are idiots on the street, and that’s my concern.

I’m a Mustang owner, and I’m terrified of the thought of these things!

So they’re going to put a BIGLY heavy road car out there, without a sway bar, and with high compression rear suspension and a light front suspension, PLUS put DOT-approved drag radials??? I’ve read that they’re supposed to ship with Nitto NT555R tires, which are DOT-approved, but even so, they’re not going to handle

So, is this supposed to be a track car only, a la the Mustang Cobra Jet, or is it supposed to be a road car that drags really really well?

Boeing in SC recently rejected a union bid. During the lead up to the vote, Boeing was running commercials that showed the salaries of the union boss for the IAM, plus his son and daughter, and it totaled something like $700k/year for three people. They then showed that it would take 7XX workers’ annual dues just to

But you can sell stock to eat.

Or, it empowers you to work harder and more efficiently, so that your stake in the company appreciates. It also lessens dead weight, as those that AREN’T contributing to the bottom line typically end up being flushed from the workforce.
