    1. All jobs are important -- so long as there is an economic need for a worker to be employed. The auto industry is in a multi-year slump that doesn't appear to be ending soon.

  4. ^^^ you don't understand economics. If auto workers made $5 an hour the price of cars wouldn't go down a penny. Cars cost what they cost because that's what people are willing to pay for them. The auto workers have been taking pay cuts for years and the price of cars has not gone down. Those jobs in the plants don't pay nearly what they used to. And no, I'm not in a union.

  8. 2:38 sorry, not true. Quick, which would you prefer, America's 1950s economy or today's economy? I bet most people would pick the 50's when a guy working at a plant could afford a house, car, send kids to college, all while mom stayed home and raised kids. All on one guy's factory salary. You have bought the lie the uber-rich have sold you. The average GM plant worker is making $21 an hour according to Glassdoor.com two weeks ago. That is far from an exorbitant salary. The boomers are fucking us to death. From our captains of industry to our politicians, they are gang-raping us. The greatest generation managed to raise the worst generation. Guy working the line isn't your enemy it's their CEO that made $28 million last year.

  13. I was surprised to read about 1,000 jobs going away at Fairfax. Wasn't Trump supposed to make sure this didn't happen with his Make America Great Again campaign? If the economy is booming along on steroids, why aren't more people buying cars made at Fairfax? Trump should look into this.

  14. They just don't want shitty GM cars, moron.

  15. I doubt Trump is going to get too excited over a sanctuary, gay loving, shit stained city ran by crimminals and occupied by boons when there are American cities to worry about.

  16. 1:04, yep, it's just more red state, real America, flyover country to that billionaire populist. Swamp rat elitist-in-chief will just say fuck 'em.

    If he cared, maybe we could get some coal powered cars built here. I hear it's the wave of the future and good paying jobs.
