The day I walk into a fucking dealership abd the piece of shut lying sakes guy knows as much as me about the car I want to test drive then I'll maybe sympathize w dealers. They lie and don't know shit about their product. Even BMW dealers

I am originally from Tennessee and I can tell you that my home state has a very long history with organized labor, going all the way back to the 1800's and the huge coal mine companies that operated throughout the region. This "Anti-Union" attitude is more or less a more recent manufactured piece of ideology coming…

2nd Gear: As a native Tennessean, the first mistake made in this article was trying to make sense of what comes out of the mouthes of Southern conservative politicians.

"The hourly labor rates demanded by unions is atrocious."

What, you're trying to explain how stuff actually works to right wingers? There's a losing proposition.

I'm not looking for any negative replies here. I'll dismiss anyone one-sided bullshit posted under this.

The anti-union sign is perhaps one of the most openly transparent ones I've seen that fully exposes the real reason the GOP has been against unions for a long time: It has nothing to do with the workers or what unions actually do. Its all pure politics because since Unions and union members historically vote for…

So why does that idiot Grover Norquist need to get involved in this situation? Anything he has his hand in is sure to stink to high heaven. I'd almost side with whatever side he is against, just out of principle.

When you have cable, you spend a lot of time watching TV indoors on rainy days.

Those aren't studded tires, they're bracelets for a goth elephant.

The Bloomberg article goes into depth a bit more, but the funky math is typical of these large scale buyouts. Fiat SpA pays $1.75B in straight cash to the UAW VEBA, then Chrysler kicks in another $1.9B as a "special dividend", which would usually go to FIAT (as the stock holder) as a return on investment based on…

look, you lost the argument and are responding with a non-sequitur. acknowledge you lost and bow out instead of being an ignorant ass.

I thought your point was to disparage the Detroit 3 for being at the bottom of the CAFE list.

Subprime refers to the creditworthiness of the borrower. The borrower has a low credit score, and thus their loan is a subprime loan. The interest rate is the result of the fact that the loan is subprime. Due to the higher risk the bank takes on in lending to this individual, they charge a higher interest rate to…

If I was a city worker whose pension got vaporized, and there was a single unsold city asset, I can assure you, hostages would be taken.

Mulally to Microsoft will be a replay of when John Sculley went to Apple.

I don't usually want the government's hands in free enterprise but this looks like it was a win for us all. The gov't lost 12 billion on the bailout but they took in 39.4 billion in taxes on the jobs the bailout saved. That is not to mention the resultant future taxes in the years to come. How many of those employees…

Uh, no. You couldn't. Not one that employs anywhere near as many people as GM does.

It's American football tradition to play in any and all weather (if it isn't life threatening), I would say most people would be opposed to the idea of undersoil heating. Heck, a good amount of people are against the idea of indoor stadiums, because it prevents these kinds of games.

I don't agree that adverse weather makes for a farce. No one thinks the Ice Bowl was a farce —people consider it to be epic. A greater challenge doesn't mean inferior, and it certainly wasn't without great play. The Buccs/Bills game was a farce; and there wasn't any snow.
