define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true); define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true); Comments on: Random economic thoughts https://norunnyeggs.com/2008/11/random-economic-thoughts/ The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The last thing we need is to funnel more money to union goons.

They couldn’t care less about the white-collar half of that screw-up job. After all, it takes two to tango.

In fact, I expect conditions of the “rescue”, both in terms of the Big Three and in the broader terms, to change radically against business and toward the favored Rat constituencies of unions and gubmint teat-suckers (i.e. those that shouldn’t have ever got the loans they’re defaulting on) in 9 weeks. That’s why business should never have agitated for that bailout.

Careful out there….

The ratio of white-collar/blue-collar in the Bigs is horrendous, compared to “normal” US manufacturers.

The UAW has done its part to screw those guys, but horrible overhead management is a big part of it.
