Yea yea yea. Keep making arguments that are bullshit. Fuck the poor dude. Do you think Ford's business model is to make cars affordable for the poor? My fucking F150 lease is $500 a month. Ford's business model doesn't care about the poor. They can buy used cars or ride the bus.
My dad, a fucking former Ford union worker does the same shit. Cries about the cost of cars. I said dad, did you worry about that when you worked there? That you were making 3 times what a cook would make anywhere else? Did you worry about how that raised the cost of a car?
I should find the op ed I read in the 2000's. God damn right I'd rather pay $30K for a car made in America than I would $25K for a car made in Mexico. Better for all of us.
So sorry dude but only paying Ford employees $15 hr is not going to help the poor. It's going to make Ford workers poor. Nice try. And paying Ford employees more, insisting those plants stay in America will mean more Tier 1, 2 and 3 supplier jobs and better paying too because they have to pay comparably to what the Big 3 pay or no one will go to work.
OMG it's like we're living the 2000s all over again. The last time Republicans waged war on labor/unions/the middle class.
