Career socialist activists 'are pulling the strings' on UAW strike that's cost the economy $7.7bn and claimed 6,000 jobs: 'Eat the rich' union leader - on $350k salary - is being advised by hardcore left-wingers who 'want class warfare'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The president of the United Auto Workers union, Shawn Fain, has ordered a walkout of more than 30,000 workers across America's 'Big 3' automakers

  • He is being advised by career socialist activists whose stated goal is to launch unprecedented strike action and 'keep [car companies] wounded for months'

  • One source questioned whether Fain is 'just a mouthpiece' for aides who have a 'greater socialist agenda for the country'

#3 But with all that said... Maybe this is actually a good and semi-wanted strike by the auto makers to reduce existing Dealer lot inventories?

#6 The move towards electric vehicles is the ultimate totalitarian move--it restricts freedom of movement. Any action that throws a wrench in how quickly that comes about works for me.

#8 Employees of companies that have a dying business model go on strike for a bigger cut. I would say let them kill it off, but then they'll say the public will have to bail them out.

#9 Chevron's big Hess Oil buy tells me the long term outlook for oil and gasoline fuels vehicles is far from over. The whole green/EV/climate change reset is fraying rapidly. But any basement buying opportunity for Ford preferred A, assuming the basement isn't radioactive or rubble, is still some time away.
