Why is that insane? Is it just because you’ve been led to believe that. What’s insane is having taxpayers bail these auto companies out when the mismanage funds and then not requiring to pay it back. What’s insane is paying them and then they move their companies overseas and put Americans out of work, the same Americans that’s tax Maloney bailed them
Out.

You’re a ducking idiot!!

Did you know that in 2007 GM was paying pensions and healthcare to something like 5 times as many retired/former employees as they had actually working?

Did you know GM's healthcare was the #1 buyer of Viagra?

Did you know GM factory workers made something like 90% of their pay even though the plant the worked in was shut down? (All google is bringing up is the current strike so I can't find the old agreements for the exact number)

Did you know that in the industry GM was called a healthcare company that makes cars on the side?

All of the above, and far far more, was due to UAW contracts signed in the early 70s that the union refused to give anything back from when business conditions changed.

And now they want to go back to the same cushy contracts with all the bells and whistles while also working 8 hours less per week. Ford claims it would have lost $14 billion over the last 4 years with the contract the UAW wants.

There is no skill required to assemble a car. The design them to be basically idiot proof due to the people bolting them together.
