Total of 36 techs represents $4.5 million a year at $60/hr. Between inflation and cooling car markets, I’m sure the dealership was looking for an easy way to lighten the costs anyway. 

Thanks for that super detailed response.

I’m pretty sure the rates customers pay for the service portion are regulated by the state, parts on the other hand....

The best way to squash union headaches is to pay a premium on new hires. A skill set is a skill set and the majority of that dealerships profit probably comes from low level services that entry level me handicap can perform. They will pay these lower qualified mechanics more than industry for a few years, let them…

I will as well to a point. I don’t know what the substantive issues are, but this minimum guaranteed hours thing bothers me and I'd like more details. I already doubt that guaranteeing minimum hours at this specific dealership would cause a financial problem that would put them out of business or unreasonably cut into…

considering the fact that her husband Kenneth Petty was recently sentenced for failing to register as a sex offender in the state of California some days ago.

It’s only generous in the eyes of us poors. To the rest it’s an honest day’s work.

Nothing really lasts forever. Every consumer unicorn lives long enough to become something that sucks. Uber, Lyft, Tesla, Radio Shack.

You are not wrong. Full Stop.

Anything that can be attributed to wealth distribution almost always has to do with race. You should really go read a book or som’. I suggest the classic, Freakanomics. 

nice.

I just wanna know if the actor came from around the building as if nothing happened.

“Gone up to $25k” is not the same thing as “increased by $25k Per car".

Pretty much agree. Full Stop.
But could you imagine watching a movie where the main character is the 7th most important/interesting character on the screen? Like a single 15 minute scene of heroes heroing and then Saitama comes in, one punches, leaves and you don’t see him for another 20 minutes. Critics would lose…

Just trying to figure out why a joke of bigotry is somehow warrants being attacked over, but a joke over someones health issue doesn’t. Asking the question doesn’t constitute a defense, so calm down. It does however seem to appear that you do condone violence against someone that doesn’t share your worldview. That’s…

I don’t think people really blame her so much as they recognize the environment she has contributed to. I think people saw Will’s initial response, and Jada’s reaction. I think a lot of folks in long term relationships recognized that look and empathized with the .3 seconds of every previous argument culminating into…

And Chappelle wasn’t attacked for a series of “bad jokes”?

Is the message being sent to black women: “Don’t lie about your contributions to a physically and emotionally toxic and abusive relationship?”

How is this legal? I mean I guess I have the same question about $100k+ supercars too. I guess I assumed there was some carbon tax associated with them.

LOL @ First World Lust.
