It doesn’t matter if you believe they should be making $100k/year. What does matter is if you vocalize it to the point of dragging that other crab down in the bucket you’re in.

It’s a good thing you aren’t negotiating for the UAW, then.

Cost of living was much lower in 1912. Wage stagnation is real.

Based on the statement regarding insourcing, it sounds like Ford et al are aiming to merely outsource the 40% reduction. Which, in the end, comes out the same for the nation.

Lol, the crim got pinched. That Little bitch learned another lesson...

I know Toyota & Subaru do. Most luxury models have it. It still varies a lot on my rentals who has it and most of those are 2020 or newer. 

Since it’s a safety thing, many brands now put it as a suite across all trims. Honda Sensing. Subaru eyesight, Toyota Safety Sense, Acura Watch. Nissan Shield. It’s not considered a luxury thing, it’s like airbags and seatbelts now.

Yes you are a fellow old.  I remember when power ANYTHING was an option just like AC, cruise and anything more than am/fm radio

Old

Closing on my first house next month and I’m been looking at lawnmowers. I think I’ll get an electric robot mower. They’re a bit pricier, but the idea of sitting back and watching the lawnmower do it's thing from the comfort of my own home seems very appealing.

My mower seized the engine a couple years ago and I started using an electric mower my wife had leftover from her old house. It’s been great and I wouldn’t want to go back. Much quieter, plus it’s lighter and easier to maneuver.

I’m guessing HD sees the sales figures trending towards eventual electrification and figured it was a good time to get some PR by reframing consumer preference as a difficult eco conscious choice. Props to them for accelerating the trend, but I don’t think this is going to hurt them at all. Getting non-catalyzed small…

Excellent example of a system problem being blamed on individuals.

As a worker who has struck in this century, I have had a security guard reach for his gun at a facility we were picketing and have also been threatened by police with arrest while scabbing managers were hurling insults at us.

Being nice (or nicer than the fuckwads) has not been working.

Well my immediate team is kind of Marxist as we really help each other out: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” 🤣

Thank you for your work!

Excellent article and very well said!

Unions push UP wages for both union and non union with the same sector. Loads of data. https://www.epi.org/publication/briefingpapers_bp143/

I don’t disagree, but I’m a little surprised you’d be so blunt.
