Ark, It really is not the UAW that prevents the companies from designing, marketing and producing a competitive product. See the thing is when you really look at the offerings of the GM or Ford, there is not a lot there for the price. The quality, even with GM has fallen more and they failed...

Yes, you are correct, there is a correction to the press release and the conference that GM had by the UAW. It seems that GM is trying to reduce cost and the UAW knows what is going on. In the past, even if the new workers have UAW representation, it will be a reduced numbers and the UAW is...

OVM, Don't have any more nightmares because here is the deal.... 1 - the party will not in any way have billy involved with another presidency. He brought up the race card and it p*ssed off a lot of people, even to the point that it drove more people to Obama. The party is really on the edge...

GM announced that they will be offering buy outs for every hourly employee that they have to reduce costs. In turn they will replace the workers with non-union workers paid at half the wage. This is a result from the 'biggest loss' that GM posted ($39B)and follows Ford's offer to buy out their...

Crazy, I think you missed a point here. The point I am trying to make is that it starts with a little allowances and then it grows. The UK has taken the insane position of being politically correct and has for the most part forced people to accept the minority's in such a fashion that the...

I know I am missing a few, but hey I haven't updated the list to include the things my wife's friends daughter sent me last year - the new language of kids.

Phil, I'm surprised at you, selective reading? I figured you would read each and every post before formulating a response for a thread. ;)

Robsdad, Don't take this personal but the thing is we really need to get government out of everything possible and return it back to what it was there for in the first place. The sad thing is health care is a mess because of government, and the same goes for the economy with the congress and...

National Support Britney Spears Day - March 1st followed up by Truckers Who Support Britney Spears convoy on April 1st

I read this article about Canada paying Muslims who have more than one wife welfare payments for the entire 'family' and thought "wow are we losing Canada too?". I know that there are strong ties with Britain but my God Britain is already lost with their change of attitude form pro-British to...

Well not to change the subject but it seems to me that we have gone from no such thing as snow day (my parents school days in the 30's) to snow days that were on days when we got 8 or more inches (my school days) to if it looks like snow we better call a snow day and stay nice and cozy by the...

OK layout here is the really serious issue - Michigan is dying and not one of the senators or congressmen have brought home any money to get jobs in this state. Sure we got money for the roads but who cares about the roads when you live in a cardboard box under a bridge? Stabenow takes her...

Why are people afraid? Don't they understand what is at stake? Look around we have the 'ME' generation running things now and they can't comprehend the idea of a community or camaraderie at all. I listened to the sickening comments about 'It takes a village to raise a kid' and thought to...

ThibodeauxBayou What are you laughing about, it is paid for and it runs. So what if it looks like everyone else's FL70, I am not in a d*mn beuty contest with all everyone else and only worry about the money it makes me. And for everyone else, I really think GM was onto something with their...

Wasn't there a Janet and a Dee Dee somewhere in the last administration? I recall one was replaced and the other was made a hero.

You know actually that would be a nice gesture on their part.

That depends Moot, you know there are a lot of 'people' out there who would welcome it on a regular basis...... ................and no I am not one of them.

The stickers are a federal thing, because of the stupid EPA and environmental laws in this country, every engine manufactured is required to have emissions compliance information on the actual engine. It used to be that we really didn't need it but with trucks, especially trucks, an engine...

Yea that is all true, but when you look at a few other factors involved, than it really is a better system here. One thing that I really think that matters is the inclusion of the patient on treatment options and how things are handled. I worked with a person overseas that had the same...
