Hmmm.. maybe you should check the topic of thread and the poster before you simply "respond"?Say what? do you have a credible source for such numbers or did you just yank them outta your rear end?
I love the old "you people" phrase, it's a big red signal flare announcing "everything that follows is utter nonsense".
and yep, that flare was accurate again ...... please go back and point to where I blamed the workers, the unions or even management. I said inefficient producers, if you can read with comprehension at all you'll note that statement does not assign blame.
We should not engage in rewarding inefficient producers no matter what caused them to be inefficient in the first place as doing so damages the long term health of the economy. Rewarding inefficient producers ties up scarce resources (like for example labor) that would be better off being freed to be utilized by efficient producers, It's like handing over gasoline to an arsonist.
I thought whomever I posted that for was talking about the auto industry. Maybe I was wrong. However, GM simply dies by Chapter 11, 80,000 direct factory workers would immediately be laid off, and another 20,000+ in supporting businesses also would be laid off. Those are certainly NOT unreal projections I pulled out of my ass, but ones that are discussed every single day if you're paying attention.
*hint: this thread has nothing to do with GM or Chrysler nor was I referring to either company in the post you responded to.
So I guess that makes it okay to just keep robotically repeating it?The "you people" phrase originated with none other than Rush Limbaugh, years ago. Imagine that...
A lot of threads that have hundreds of comments don't rigidly stick to the typed topic. Are you nuts or just a creep constantly trolling for a fight?
