    The GM strike will be over shortly, my friend, and you can go on to worrying about other matters.

    Since my profession can never be replaced by automation, I am not worried. There is even a robot that will pat you on the back for winning this one.

    There were corrupt officials at the top. GM acted corruptly by using them by paying them off to screw union members. Corrupt and corrupt dies not equal good in any way.

    My point was the union adds a few grand to the price of a new car. 15% of a $10,000 car is $1,500. Not many new cars are $10K. Need my address to send my trophy?

    Your only point Rush is that you are continually wrong.

    You make a lot of allegations but yet provide no proof. I think you are the one playing dumb. And you wonder why you are not taken seriously.

    "Far right" strawman is a fail JS. Let's stick to comparing your obviously false and ridiculous posts to the truthful ones. You still haven't sourced the whopping lie told by this news "anchor" ... why is that? Young Turks / Sputnik maybe too embarrassing to reveal?

    You ascribe to me what you do, PrincipleInvestment, and will continue your projection.

    I told you where I heard it. You know it's true, but you pretend it is not.

    Automation is a GREAT profession to go into and manufacturing is begging for qualified people.

    You need to rephrase that sentence so it makes sense. Slow down with your typing and try it again.

    It's clear from your behavior that you're not interested in the discussion with someone who doesn't agree with you. So I'll save myself the trouble.

    Like these....

    The Sackler family was caught this week hiding billions of dollars as the pharmaceutical giant declares bankruptcy.

    Over 50,000 autoworkers at General Motors plants across the countries have gone on strike.

    An attack on Saudi oil rigs has left the world fearful of potential war retaliations.

    PI, you mistake your role here. You are a poster the same as me. I told you. It was half billion. That you don't like it is meaningless. :)

    The only thing that adds price to a car is the customers willingness to pay it
