I thought the flat rate was for repair, not diagnosis. Once the diagnosis comes back "change fuse" then the "flat rate" of about 50 cents to replace a fuse would kick in.

I totally agree. Anyone who even knows a little about the stock market (I fall in that category) knows that no intrinsic value is added or 'stolen' from the market/US GDP. That's unfortunate because the idea and tech behind HFT is really cool in and of itself regardless of your stance on the legitimacy of its…

Huh? or you know... they actually love cars but realize that public transportation can handle most of the workload better? That having 1,000 people take the subway instead of all in a car on the highway is better for everyone.

Agree. I'm very surprised at the responses here, and can only put them down to people not being used to the wide lens distortion. That collision was inevitable once the idiot in the pickup decided to pull out. The cam driver scrubbing off speed may well have saved his and his wife's lives.

Not to mention you can nearly hit Detroit with a rock, so you have the entire Detroit/UAW auto industry intertwined with the Windsor/CAW auto industry. Even Toledo is very close by. I'm sure that entire area of the country is covered with auto industry related suppliers and businesses.

" ...As much as this will create a huge amount of collateral damage, we need to, as consumers, boycott cars and trucks made in UAW-run shops. ... "

" ...On average, employee contributions for full coverage (80% dental, limited vision, non-private hospital rooms, ambulances, yes, that's right, ambulances aren't free in Canada) are somewhere in the area of $135-175/mth, employers pay the same. ... "

Privately, senior executives at these companies say the UAW remains essentially the same union as the one that helped run Detroit's automakers into the ground with its demands for overly generous wages and gold-plated benefits.

Publically, I say the senior executives at these companies remain essentially the same executives as the ones that ran Detroit's automakers into the ground with gold plated benefits, giant bonuses, approving and implementing terrible products and even worse strategies.

That is one of the most simplistic and, I'm sorry, simple-minded explanations of a complex decision-making process. The GOP clearly should not have interfered or threatened a business enterprise on ideological grounds as they did and, for better or worse, the rejection of a union VW wanted has made the decision (and…

they lost by a slim margin and they had a majority of cards signed prior. It's fair to say that no matter what argument the UAW had, That the flat out Lies of Corker DURING the election could have had an impact. I believe that Grover Norquist had every right to interfere. NOT Bob Corker a Politician supposed to be…

So one side lied, the other side didn't, and you think that's perfectly fair. And if anything, you're blaming the guys who didn't lie for what, not inventing their own lies? That's some Fox News levels of "fair and balanced reporting".

None of your PS complaints are half so bad as your moronic 'politicians' and bible thumpers.

yes, it was the UNIONS fault working class people in tennessee actually buy in to completely prehistoric tea party economics and hand wavy threats from corrupt politicians

This is why you dont' try to cross a major road when you can't see around the cars on said road.

How would you feel if your senator, or hell even another union's chapter president, insinuated that decertifying a union would cause work slowdowns and layoffs at a plant? How would you feel if your state legislature made incentives contingent on having union representation, and implied that losing the incentives…

Those are surprisingly low salaries for people at the top of a huge organization. That's like bank branch manager level pay.

That's peanuts compared to a CEO of even a regional corporation.
