    Seems very ungrateful to the job creators and innovators that just because the economy doesnt work for you, you want to wreck it for us too. Why not try starting up your own car company instead of cutting into the profits of the hard working Ford and GM families.

          First I didn’t get that it was a joke. Then I got that it was a joke and it was an okay joke. Then I saw the joke over and over. Now I’m sick of the joke and I downvote it (not that it helps).

            To the unobservant, yes.

            Not their fault that end stage capitalism and the resurgence of fascism have made the most braindead takes mainstream enough that it’s more difficult to spot the difference between sincere idiocy and satire 🤷

              Satire isn’t just ‘say a ridiculous thing and hope people don’t take it seriously’. There’s supposed to be an element of commentary. This guy is basically just a pro billionaire bot spitting out what they actually believe.

                Yeah, you clearly haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. If you’d had just a cursory glance at their comment history you’d have found such gems as “ABUB: Always Be Union Busting” and this one:

                Under capitalism I allow my workers no such thing, they must toil physically for a full work day and if I catch a whiff of complaint or dissent, I threaten them with unemployment. Not only will the trenches not dig themselves but my profits don’t come out of thin air. I need them to work extra hard so I can pay off my second sailing yacht (one stays in the carribean, the other in the med) this year and put a down payment on a third (south pacific).

                  Are we supposed to check comment history every time we see some moron that’s bad at satire make a comment that’s identical to actual bootlicker rhetoric?

                    Nah, only the times when you make definitive statements about comment patterns and the overall quality and nature of the entire account.

                    You know, the rare occasions where it’s actually what determines whether you have a point or are full of shit and doubling down to avoid having to just admit that the subtle difference between satire and stupidity eluded you 🤷

                So making fun of bootlickersin a room full of people who don’t like bootlickers is a bad thing now?

                Or are you just expecting people to be too stupid to spot the differences between playing a loathsome persona for laughs and being a loathsome person?

      Uhhhh what?! Lol the car manufacturers made $32 billion in profit last year. A record amount. Are you honestly going to say there’s not enough money to pay their works a livable wage? The union isn’t even being out of line for what they are asking for. 400,000 workers even devided across everyone equally (which isn’t what the are asking.) would be $80,000 a year. That’s a life changing amount of money for those workers cbd would do better in their hands, apposed to a few executives and owners. However, that’s not even close to what they are asking for! So you are lying or dumb.

        The car manufacturers need that profit to distribute to their shareholders, or do stock buyback or whatever best benefits the share price etc. By doing so they are helping the whole economy and that money will eventually trickle down to the little guys in some form or another.

        For example: instead of giving all that money to the greedy UAW, GM can use it to buy back their stock. The price of the stock and the net worth of the people who own most of it therefore goes up. They borrow against that stock for a new yacht in the Mediterranean and use it to visit a charming seaside village in Greece or Italy. They eat at the nicest restaurant in the nicest resort in that village.

        Now, you see how that money helped the villagers who otherwise never would have seen a dime of it? The auto workers aren’t going to spend any of that money in Greece or Italy. Not to mention support the families of boat-makers, boat-loan-processors etc along the way.

          “oh well someone please think of the poor shareholders and executives making millions off other peoples labor!”

          The is no trickle down. It’s been 70 years of that crap and it gets more moronic every time. There is no evidence that high executive pay or shareholder payouts benefits the economy. Just out right lies. What the Villiers should do is murder the people hording resources and spend their vacations in Greece and Italy.
