Built like a Mercedes (?)

When I read a post by a top-poster, I automatically PLONK them. In
general, they are arrogant jerks who have nothing to say that's worth
reading; the vitriolic blurb quoted above is a perfect example.

 

If you want efficiency, ride a bicycle. For the caloric input, they
return 90+% efficiency in transportation.

I used to get 16 miles to the 12 oz soda on my Schwinn . . . .

Re-read the original post - people who fail to trim their quoted text
properly are every bit as bad a top-posters. In fact, posters often
commit both offenses in the same post: they hit reply, type in their
response at the top of the edit buffer, and then hit send - their
quoted text comes along as unneeded, excess, bandwidth-wasting
baggage.

 

Not too tricky - just too much work.

 

It's all about the burn rate. You can lose your job today, or you can
accept a pay cut and lose your job tomorrow. The latter allows you to
keep a roof over your head and food on your table while you look for
another job. And who knows, your company might even pull it out of the
nosedive and you might actually get to keep your job.

Apparently you prefer to continue to collect an inflated paycheck and
all your other bennies and fired sooner instead of later. Hope all the
UAW workers out there are socking those big fat paychecks away for the
rainy days that are coming...

 

Yes, IMHO.

Interesting that you make this comment when, years ago, a friend, that
was a member of the UAW working for Chrysler in their Indianapolis,
Indiana plant, told me how, as a union employee, he could bring in a
non-union laborer from a reserve labor pool to do his job while he went
to the break room and sat on his butt every day.

Tell the truth, Roy, you've become a slave to a cushy lifestyle.

Me, I never had one, so the Medicare I'm on now is as good as it gets.


And with your belief system, why are you taking money away from hard working
people. since you are contributing nothing, you should get nothing, after
all, your Medicare is nothing more than a redistribution of wealth, isn't
it?

 

Yes, there is.

And this is the way.

No, it's because we let them set the proportions to import / export
ratios and tariffs and then accepted them.

LOL! Budd, your bitterness and ignorance is reaching all time highs. How
does this in any way show socialism or communism????????? If the company
does poorly, then ALL should share in the responsibility, not just the
workers and if pay cuts are needed to return profitability, then the high
level execs should also be getting those cuts, not bonuses for screwing up.

 

What does this crap have to do with what I said? Oh, that's right, not a
damn thing.

How does bringing high level execs salaries into reality translate into
this??? Oh, that's right, it doesn't!

At best, your a bitter idiot Budd. If the company needs to reduce costs,
why should the upper management be immune to that cost cutting, especially
when they are the biggest expense. If the average worker is making $40,000,
why should the CEO be making $10,000,000 plus perks?

 

Really, how?

That is not competition Budd, that is restrictions and I agree with that to
a point.

Like I said, our short sightedness and greed.

 

You mean to invade them surely.

Well, considering that the overwhelming majority of vehicles in the US are
gasoline powered, the use of bio-diesel does nothing for the majority.

 

And yet, we managed to prevent all of Europe from speaking German, LOL!

 

I agree. I only wish that more American controlled companies would follow
this example.

 

Probably :-(

 

You're trying to dodge the issue by changing it ?

Doesn't fool me.

What ridiculous nonsense.

Funny, I didn't realize that cars were the only thing produced outside of
the US, silly me.
