#1 'I am tired of it.'

Of working? Quit then. It's not like there are hundred of thousands of others out there with similar skill levels that will pass up the opportunity.

#2 Screw it. Just put them on the government payroll. That way they can't strike and won't have to produce.

#3 The last remaining PROFITABLE American car company. Of course the UAWBAMA will attempt to bring it to it's knees.

#5 With unemployment at 15% in Michigan, Ford should try to bust the union. There will never be a better chance and if they don't they will die a death of a thousand cuts from the UAW and Obama.

Another alternative is to split Ford US from Ford worldwide and let Ford US die.

Because this is really about the UAW, not the car companies.

#6 I was in an antique store yesterday and bought a couple of old end wrenches stamped U.S.A., a 19/32 x 11/16 and a 25/32 x 11/16. The Amigo behind the counter asked "do you collect old tools." I replied no, I seldom find tools made in the USA any longer and figured these might be some of the last. He said, "well, maybe this is a good thing. We should permit other countries to share in our industrial capabilities and wealth." I paid for the wrenches and walked out.

#8 The Amigo:

Should have just showed your iron and made him understand who WTF you were. It time to nip this shit in the bud.
