Speaking of competition, it looks like the UAW won last night. They get
to keep their high salaries. They won't have to accept the drivel given
to the employees at Toyota and Honda.

Of course, that's only for the next few weeks.

They must be Yale graduates also.

Well duh...

That's the dumbest F'n decision, I think I've seen in my life. McConnell
must like Russian Roulette. After already giving $350 billion to Wall
Street to keep the markets afloat, he's unwilling to spend $14 billion.
That's one month's spending in Iraq.

If I'm not mistaken, there will be a bloodbath on Wall Street today.
Republicans sure know how to instill confidence in the economy.

Well!

There won't be any competing with you today. That was one hell of a start.
I've decided that competition is a tool of our Corporate Masters to
keep the working class from rebelling en mass.

Thus, I will no longer compete showing solidarity with the
proletariat.

And Yale graduates.

Pretty wild misrepresentation of the facts. Salaries are not the major
difference between Toyota and UAW workers. They make similar hourly
wages. The differences are that Toyota benefits are not as extensive,
and Toyota has far fewer (by an order of magnitude) retirees. That's
right - the big difference in "labor costs" will mostly even out on
it's own, as more Toyota employees retire.

Universal healthcare would eliminate most of the difference
immediately, and put to bed, the big three's idiotic story about not
being able to compete. Toyota seems to be competing by selling heir
cars for HIGHER prices than the American "competition". Why are the
big three forced to sell their cars for LESS while claiming to be
saddled with higher costs? If their cars were really any good, they
would at least sell for similar prices.

The retired workers already have universal health care, it is called
Medicare.
