Doctors Assembling Cars
(Or At Least People Who Are Getting Paid Like Doctors)
Well, since the Obama administration effectively nationalized a huge chunk of the automobile manufacturing sector and paid off their union buddies with stock, things have changed. B.O. has effectively put the unions and the government in charge of running two huge failing businesses and there's a whole new spirit of hope and optimism for a successful future. After all, how can this new venture fail when you have the full faith and resources of the federal government behind you (in other words, the US taxpayer's money)? You can offer all kinds of great stuff like "drive it for two months and if you don't love it, bring it back and you'll get a refund" (really, this is GM's new pitch.) After all, what's a few refunds when you have billions in taxes to draw from?
The attached video from reader Bob in New York shows the interaction between two union workers who are pulling down about $80 bucks an hour in salary and benefits. With this sort of work ethic, it's amazing that these two companies ever struggled a all!
Now everybody go out and buy a government car, drive it for two months, get a refund and then buy a Toyota that was built in the US. As long as it's your money anyway, you might as well get some of it back by driving a free car for a couple of months.
