> well yeah, it’s not like the cars are going anywhere (other than scrap yards just like when GM was open for business :kekegay: ) but the reality is that we bailed out a Union and now the company is government controlled, so they can make garbage “green” cars and source and build them in the US and A… it was even a UAW quote that they weren’t going to let GM build over seas in low-cost factories… so not only will the new cars be beat, they will be worth nothing because they are already overpriced before manufacturing them! awesome!

This is why I differ with Ron Paul on free trade. There’s no way American companies can compete with overseas slave labor. The UAW was certainly one of the contributing factors to GM’s fall from grace. But this UAW ownership interest cound work out positively… now they will actually have to give a shit whether the company makes a profit or not instead of just making sure that they get theirs and let all of the other chips fall where they may.

Maybe this will lead to them shitcanning the lazy, unproductive worthless employees in their own ranks, make the workers a little more productive, accept more reasonable benefits, etc.

EDIT: THAT IS A BIG MAYBE.
