And if it weren’t for the Obama GM bailout of 2009.
Bailout money still owed to the American tax payer is about $9 Billion.
Somebody check on SS please.

F/F Even Henry Ford knew the only way to keep Ford going was to pay his employees a good salary so they could afford to buy what he was manufacturing. If you can't afford to buy a new vehicle don't. If you can't fly don't. In a capitalist society the working people must be able to afford to buy the products being manufactured.
In 2022 GM revenue was $156.7 billion.
Ford’s first-quarter 2023 revenue reached $41.5 billion, up 20% from the same period a year ago.

Well good. Keep arguing with yourself. That's too funny!!!Originally posted by kidrock View PostBefore I argue with myself I need to ask myself am I mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective because if not there's absolutely no point. And well that's the end of this argument. lmfao..

And that dat soon of a beach has been running ever since…….I’d love to find an old b210 or one of the older Datsun trucks and restore it. Had several iterations of the z car in the 70s and 80s and would like to find one of those to refurb but most are junk these days and the ones that have decent bones or in decent shape aren’t worth what folks are asking.Originally posted by ss12 View PostBBQ do you know how Datsuns got their name? There was a Japanese car manufacturer. They had some American investors coming to check out the new vehicle. The plant manager told the workers that the investors were coming at the end of the week, and they needed the car done by then. The worker replied, "dat soon"? A joke told by my uncle Ernie.

You have a source for your 5% claim or you just making that up…….again?
I’ve been driving cars for a while now, Toyotas and Datsuns been going hundreds of thousands of miles for years.
I wouldn’t jump in most fords or chevys and head across country unless they still had a warranty and tow coverage on them…….that used to be different. Wonder what changed?
Oh yeah….the pony emblem and the bow tie emblem had the uaw emblem duct taped over them……and they quit running properly.

BBQ posted: Post 25…..I missed the part in all that cut and paste that addressed quality of product issues,laziness,corruption, embezzlement and all those other goodies on the dinner plate of union activity in 2023……can you please cut and paste some discussion there please.
You are talking about 5% of the work force rather it is a union shop or a non-union shop. How about the other 95% of the work force that are not as you describe? Quality of product, earlier cars only last 100K miles now they are lasting 200-300k. Why are they going 200k-300k? Quality! Recall on cars and trucks are both union and non-unions vehicles manufactures. Since you like Toyota here is a list of their recalls.

Just to let you guys know I'm not interested in going back and forth about unions. We know where each other stands and I'm going to leave it right there. Carry on as you may.
This is for Clayton or whatever name he is using these days. Before I argue with you I need to ask myself are you mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective because if not there's absolutely no point. And well that's the end of this argument. lmfao..
Maybe some day Clayton will grow up but, I won't hold my breath lol
