You can’t be serious.  You are comparing the Chinese crackdown on protesters to what is happening now?  What an utter and complete lack of understanding.  You REALLY have to check your history before making idiotic comparisons like this.  As long as people THINK these are comparable events, we will NEVER make the…

I’m genuinely curious to know what the actual correct protocol is if your car gets swarmed by violent protestors???

I wish my I6 was a V8.  Just saying.  

There’s a difference between running over a bunch of people on a walking path minding their own business vs accelerating out of an angry mob that’s blocking the street and attacking you. Comparing these to ISIS is a bit of a false equivalency.

My friend, all global white collar FCA workers took a 20% pay deferral effective March 30th.

By the shareholders, do you mean everybody who has something other than just Social Security and coffee can of cash in the backyard for retirement? If you have a 401K, a 403B, a pension, or some types of IRAs, you better damn well hope companies are looking out for their shareholders.

I don't see they really had a choice.  I'm generally pro-union and owning up to your mistakes, but if they let this slide it will absolutely come back to bite them in the ass.

IANAL:

I understand your argument that it’s a small amount of money for the company. I think the problem might be that, if they pay them more than is obligated in the contract, it could invalidate the contract. If the contract isn’t enforced at this time, then when something really egregious happens, the UAW can say…

Yeah but then the cars are always whining about it. 

A professional race driver cheated in a competition. Just because it was in a simulated environment as opposed to in real life doesn’t make it any less relevant.

And there is the issue: companies with too much cash flow can get hammered on the stock market since that cash is not being used to make more money for stock holders, it’s just sitting there, not being reinvested into something more profitable.

“C’mon, MBA holders are all awesome and wonderful. Everyone knows that, right?”

“payment relief on my mortgage, starting in May, for three months”

I’m sure if Hertz could get three months payment relief, they’d be fine too.

Planning for almost two months of almost no business is not a normal economic event, even deep recessions don’t do that. And yeah, not every business is wholly successful, some are struggling, and some are impacted by this more than others.

Since when has a rational evaluation of quality and value been the primary driver of car choice? Price, style, brand biases, advertising, and sometimes even serendipity play a part in what you choose. Otherwise, we’d all be driving Honda Civics.

I live and grew up in the Northeast, but I still found it really obnoxious how you took an unwarranted dump all over Alabama right at the beginning of the article. In fact, I skipped the entire rest of the article and came down here to tell you that lazy plays on tired stereotypes about dumb hicks from the South is a…

And still no disappearing center row seats like the Pacifica.

Gonna call BS on the 450HP.  They don’t make anywhere near that much without boost.

One of the limits has to be the ability to cool each individual cell.

OK, but back in the real world, how many cars don’t have redundant hard buttons for the things he mentioned? Tesla? Maybe a few others? The argument is a strawman. Windows and door locks on a screen only? Come on.
