More Reasons for not Bailing out the Auto Industry
Well besides the lovely car pictured on the right (that’s an AMC Gremlin), here is a huge reason not to provide bailouts to the auto industry:
Thousands of laid-off auto workers get paid $31 an hour to sit around and do nothing all year under a controversial program that could continue even if American taxpayers bail out the American auto industry.
The program, called “Jobs Banks,” has been around for 24 years. Some of the employees at jobs banks choose to do community service, but others do crossword puzzles and watch TV all day — or just stare at a wall. If you’re a laid-off auto worker, it’s what comes with your pink slip, thanks to a deal struck in 1984 between the United Auto Workers and the Big Three carmakers.
Again, while there was a need for unions many years ago, I think we’ve moved beyond the need for the current implementation of such. We have the UAW pulling this crap, the Teacher’s Union with the filthy rich leader earning a ridiculous salary from public funds while not improving our education system (it would be another story if the US Education system was second to none…or at least improving). When will the outcry begin? Maybe we all need to drink some of this and take them on! (They have one of the funniest radio ads I’ve heard in a long time)
GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
