same here in Canada, we should stop exporting bitimun jobs to the US, bring them back to alberta, that's a million more jobs for us, dont like it, well, you can always buy oil from somewhere else.
I'm puzzled. You Canadians are exporting bitumen jobs? I thought the jobs were about the bitumen, which is IN Canada... how can you export a job that's tied to a spot in the ground in Canada? :-)
Just curious. I'd love to export a few jobs from the states, like the mayor's job in every big american city.. some legislature jobs.... a bunch of media jobs.. we could get rid of a lod of boneheads and useless mouths to feed.. they could learn the bitumen business :-)
we get it out of the ground, steam it, put it in pipelines and it goes for further processing in the states, US labor is cheaper than Albertan labor. Pay $15 in US, or $30+ in alberta.
Me, I grew up in west Texas, Midland to be precise, an oil boom town if there ever was one.. which is why I felt comfy enough to inquire about the specifics of your assertions, mon frere.. :-)
As to the reason labor is cheaper here? we are not YET socialists. No fear though, soon we'll be pricing ourselves out of such jobs because we have to pay so much tax... then we'll have 20% unemployment like a good Euro socialist country.. :-)
I am an independent but LORD JESUS LOVEIT will the employed (who are left) relize they are working for a living to pay for those that VOTE for a living?

I am not necessarilly pro-union but why blame the auto workers here? Its not like they decided to make craptastic cars in the 70s and 80s and essentially hand over the US market to overseas competition.
Reread your words. You'll see where you've transposed union with auto workers. Remember, when one is talking about the UAW, it's not the same as talking about the people who work for the auto industry, whom the UAW REPRESENT, so they claim...
Heck, a lot of the auto workers actually vote Republican, but don't mention it.. because it would cause friction between themselves and their Union masters.. nobody is 'blaming" auto workers, only pointing out how easy they have it compared to normal non union ppl who can't get Democrats to GIVE THEM EVERYTHING.
Remember the ONLY one that did not take money was (FORD) , well, Obama is going to MAKE ford take money now!! why you ask?? this way ford don't tell Obama we made it through ok!! the short of the story is Obama don't want ford to make it and "OBAMA MOTORS" not make it!! and gas price's will go up to $4.00 a gallon and STAY THERE!! this way Obama will MAKE YOU want to buy a SMALLER CAR!! If only Americans did not have brain farts, when RON PAUL was running for president!!
But $4 a gallon is only the beginning. We haven't factored in the coming inflation, the dive of the American dollar, and the supply problems that lower sales will inevitably create. It's going to be $15 a gallon. Sooner than we think.
A wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread, like the Weimar Republic in the Depression era, like Zimbabwe now... we are headed there soon.. word is, some of the govt numbers on inflation are fudged, that the dollar is already losing 10% or more per year of its value. Brutal. Buy gold, run away.
I'd fault the management at GM for overpaying themselves while failing miserably at the thing they were supposed to be GOOD at-- dealing with the UAW.
The more benefits and the higher salaries the UAW got in each contract, the more the management should have been penalized for not doing its job of controlling costs. By now, the CEO would be PAYING GM to work there.
There is NO line job in a car factory worth $150k. PERIOD. Some doctors don't even make that.

Id fault the bush administration for using the economy for his benefit by blowing the economy up like a balloon not caring if the balloon would burst and it did.
Dont blame Gm,even the foreign manufacturers are suffering,we americans are not buying cars to to those high gas prices in 08.
I blame the Union more than anything. And the reason that GM wasn't allowed to go into bankruptcy way back in Jan, but is now? The gov't needed to take care of the Union first!!
dave, what people were making 150K working on the line? i knew they were over paid but wow i had no idea it was that high. I really think they should abloish the UAW and just hire people that want a job and will do good work as well, a lot more people looking now
I have no paper docs or links for that number, but I've heard it many times, especially when I lived in cleveland and interacted with many line guys in the Ohio and Toronto factories. And that was a long time ago. If our US car companies AVERAGE labor cost is $75 per hour, there are certainly ppl making over $100k tightening bolts. It's seniority and union rules. $80 per hr is easily $150k.. and the other companies avg per hr was just over $40. UAW owns all blame.
wow i had no idea they got paid anywhere near that much, no wonder they don't have a job anymore, i don't think they should've been making $20 per hr personally
I think the market should set their salaries. Companies make offer, people either take the jobs or don't, and it adjusts itself. Instead, the UAW negotiates and threatens strikes if the company doesn't kowtow.. and the rest is history.
American companies avg labr per hr $70+
foreign companies in AMERICAN factories using AMERICAN workers, avg labr per hr $40+.
i'm not saying we should set their pay but i do know there are plenty of people that would've been willing to do that job for a lot less money, the union got greedy and now they'll suffer at home with no job because of it
And yet when those at the top run the company in the ground, it must be the workers/unions fault?!? You are such a hypocrite. If those people really deserved the salaries they were making, then the companies would be just fine. How typical of people like you to blame those who don't make the decisions. It is no wonder that people like you are such a small minority in America these days.
carl, you're a moron. I personally know UAW workers that made $115,000 as garbagemen at a factory. He would brag how others punched him in and out while he was at home. The only way to get fired from the UAW is if you sexually assault somebody. These plants are notorious for bookies, selling drugs, and drinking in the parking lot. If a supervisor tries to intervene they tell him to F*** off and go to the Union rep which in turn will threaten a strike. Not all UAW workers but alot.
The government THINKS they know EVERYTHING about the PRIVATE SECTOR!! they don't know the difference between there a--hole and a hole in the ground!! looks like we are going to have a 31yr. old running GM, he knows nothing about the auto business or the private sector!! i do understand that Obama came into a mess on his hands, BUT my question to Obama is WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE RESPONSILBILITY FOR (YOUR SPENDING)????? NO ONE IN THE MEDIA HAS GUTS NO MORE!!!!
Bush inherited a mess from Clinton, cleaned it up, and then the lying Dems weaseled their way back into office, destroyed the economy and lied their way into total ABSOLUTE POWER. Obama created the mess he inherited. And his methods of "repairing" the problems look very clearly like further sabotage. Democrats are rabid dogs.
This abyssmal and abominal Obama administration is just the same old Clinton administration wrecking crew back to finish the job of destroying America. They just lie to get in power so they can implement socialism and fascism. They do not allow dissent. They want a one party system. I think it's excruciatingly obvious.
They are anti-freedom, earth day hippies and followers of Al Gore's earth worshipping cult of death, and they want to exterminate humanity in the name of saving the earth.
Janet Napolitano looks and sounds an awful lot like Janet Reno. If you disagree with their fascist brand of far left socialism, then you're a terrorist in their eyes. And for no other reason than you value freedom over fascism.
I like how you guys are able to blame everything on the workers. You represent capitalism at its best in America. If a company succeeds, then those in charge must be doing something right and should be rewarded for it. If it fails, it must be the workers fault, you know, the people who don't make the decisions and just do the work. To even question those at the top making 300 times what the average worker makes must mean your a communist. You guys take lack of responsibilty to a new level!
I worked this out for my teenage niece once, when she wanted a new car. Until your repair bills go higher than about $4k per year, you're saving money driving the old car. And if you average the bills per year, they almost NEVER average anywhere near that high.
With this economy, and especially since the president is working so hard to limit our choices on behalf of the labor unions, I'm going to keep the car I have until it belches it's final cloud of smoke. :-)
Yeah, buy a Japanese car and watch 85% of their profits go back to Japan. Don't be mislead believing their better. American cars do have problems but so does Toyota, Honda etc. The difference is Japanese car companies refer to their recalls as service upgrades while The Big 3 have to refer to them as recalls.
I don't recall saying the UAW is the greatest organization on earth. I know to well how they've helped destroy The Big 3 but it's their leaders more than the workers. Alot of the workers don't agree with Gettlefinger and don't vote for Democrats. My neighbor has a 2007 Toyota, I have a 2006 GMC, both SUV'. Her crappy Toyota has been in the shop 3 times, for brakes, her sunroof leaking, and a bad oxygen sensor. I have more miles on my car and still runs like new. Keep selling your country out.
MishMoshUSA I've been deployed twice overseas and sent to help rebuild after Katrina for my country, I am not a sellout. The fact is that Japanese made cars are more reliable, despite your anecdotal evidence.
I am not saying American cars have not improved, but they certainly break down and have more faults off the line than their Japanese counterparts. I also agree that GM going down was more a fault of their leadership than the UAW, but both play a part in this.
A cult of personality arises when a country's leader uses mass media to create a heroic public image through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships.
The political parties created in the wake of Germany's defeat in World War I consisted of a vast network of occult groups.The occult parties used the news media and the movies to project an image of a superior German people. They spoke of the coming of a new Messiah who would save Germany. Young Adolf Hitler.
Adolf Hitler had a keen interest in cars even though he did not like to drive. In 1933, shortly after taking over as leader of Germany, he teamed up with Ferdinand Porsche to make changes to his original 1931 design to make it more suited for the working man, thus founding Volkswagen.
Hans Ledwinka discussed his ideas with Ferdinand Porsche, who used many Tatra design features in the 1938 "KdF-Wagen", later known as the VW Käfer—or Volkswagen Beetle. On 22 June 1934, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche agreed to create the "People's Car" for Hitler.
of course their have been important discoveries without government funding but what im saying is that huge amounts of investment over long periods of time was needed to put the US at the top in technology. This kind of investment isnt possible in the free market because companies will not invest millions in an idea for 20 years.
I mean imagine your the ceo and you go to the board saying hey we are gonna need millions on a project we arent even sure will make any money or have any impact.
it takes ten years or so, and many millions of dollars, just to bring a new drug to market. Government is the bottleneck.. as it should be, perhaps, because it is responsible for 'the general welfare', but the result is that only GIANT companies can AFFORD to create new drugs. Smaller guys with great ideas simply can't afford the process of bringing them to market. less regulation = more life-saving drugs in this case, probably a few more bad ones too.. a trade off.
but if you don't think some venture cap guys are out there raising millions for some idea that might not work or might take decades to work, think again. They're doing it. It's higher risk but the funds can be found. Not that govt doesn't have a place here, but statism/central planning are the wrong way to do it, and we're already there for any practical purpose.
first i would like to point out that all the examples i have given were about government funded research. i have not said anything government run enterprises yet. GM and the american car companies are just awful. they have run the companies into the ground. i dont see how running a car company is more difficult than say putting a man into space or running the country's mail. not to worry though they will just give it away when they get it working again.
to me, the primary reason GM is awful is the UAW. What has Oprompta done? Given the companies to them. Marx. Workers shall own the means of production.
Other car companies made money while GM lost it. Other companies were all time profitable while GM was losing BILLIONS, ten years ago, even longer ago. GM has been essentially subordinated to union for years. Now the union flat-out OWNS it, thanks to central planning. Thank you Karl Marx.
I think there is a fundamental difference between govt FUNDED and govt OWNED.. funding is necessary at times, i.e. NASA... but the govt owning and running the car companies is a quantum leap from the programs you're describing, and you're also ignoring the gazillions of times when equally important discoveries and creations came about in the free market WITHOUT 'govt' (read-- TAXPAYER) funding. Govt is good for visionary leadership sometimes, but not for RUNNING EVERYTHING...
yes im proud to see you can wiki search but if you continued to read on you would understand that bell labs was a government funded lab.TI lives off the DoD. yes people create these inventions but what allowed for the research were several people working towards that goal because of GOVERNMENT investment. Intel is a private company that came out of the state sector. This is normal procedure. taxpayer pay for the research assume the risks and the private sector gets all the benefit. thats a fact.
you know when i hear people whine about how the government is evil in the market they never move beyond sophomoric jab at nancy pelosi or how they are socialist etc etc. it show a complete ignorance of American history. how did we get microchips, the internet, scientific management? it was through the state funding through the pentagon. People that are afraid of the government will get what they want from it, nothing. Governments that are afraid of the people give them what they want.
there is a balance for govt's role in the markets, and that balance is massively tilted now in favor of govt. It was too far on that side BEFORE Obama, and now business leaders are living in genuine fear. Geithner quote to banker about him not wanting to take tarp funds "do you know who the f**k you're dealing with? I'll have the IRS audit you, every officer in your company, and every INVESTOR in your fund, if you don't do what we say".
This is STALINISM, laughing dude. Can't laugh it off
I've bought American all my life,but if the big three go over seas to be produced,I swear I'm turning into a Toyota man.I will not by counterfeit "American" cars!
Either that, or I'm buying a horse and the government can clean up the patties I leave behind!
And its made in China! Hot shit American dollars used to make jobs in China. Of course most of the idiots in America wont know that because it has a Government Motors sticker on the window! Wooo Who cant wait to get me one of those. Now if youre smart youll wait for the 2011 model which has a wind turbine on the roof which self powers the vehicle at speed over 30mph, NO FUEL REQUIRED!

They just lie to get in power so they can implement socialism and fascism. They do not allow dissent. They want a one party system. I think it's excruciatingly obvious.

They are anti-freedom, earth day hippies and followers of Al Gore's earth worshipping cult of death, and they want to exterminate humanity in the name of saving the earth.

Janet Napolitano looks and sounds an awful lot like Janet Reno. If you disagree with their fascist brand of far left socialism, then you're a terrorist in their eyes. And for no other reason than you value freedom over fascism.

I like how you guys are able to blame everything on the workers. You represent capitalism at its best in America. If a company succeeds, then those in charge must be doing something right and should be rewarded for it. If it fails, it must be the workers fault, you know, the people who don't make the decisions and just do the work. To even question those at the top making 300 times what the average worker makes must mean your a communist. You guys take lack of responsibilty to a new level!

I worked this out for my teenage niece once, when she wanted a new car. Until your repair bills go higher than about $4k per year, you're saving money driving the old car. And if you average the bills per year, they almost NEVER average anywhere near that high.
With this economy, and especially since the president is working so hard to limit our choices on behalf of the labor unions, I'm going to keep the car I have until it belches it's final cloud of smoke. :-)

I wouldn't stick with the old jalopy myself, just buy a reliable Japanese automobile.
mykothopea 2 years ago
Yeah, buy a Japanese car and watch 85% of their profits go back to Japan. Don't be mislead believing their better. American cars do have problems but so does Toyota, Honda etc. The difference is Japanese car companies refer to their recalls as service upgrades while The Big 3 have to refer to them as recalls.
MishMoshUSA 2 years ago
Misled? I do not think you have compared an American to Japanese car, at least not seriously.
The UAW is a big problem with the American auto industry, just one more reason why it should have been allowed to fail instead of being bailed out.
mykothopea 2 years ago
I don't recall saying the UAW is the greatest organization on earth. I know to well how they've helped destroy The Big 3 but it's their leaders more than the workers. Alot of the workers don't agree with Gettlefinger and don't vote for Democrats. My neighbor has a 2007 Toyota, I have a 2006 GMC, both SUV'. Her crappy Toyota has been in the shop 3 times, for brakes, her sunroof leaking, and a bad oxygen sensor. I have more miles on my car and still runs like new. Keep selling your country out.

MishMoshUSA I've been deployed twice overseas and sent to help rebuild after Katrina for my country, I am not a sellout. The fact is that Japanese made cars are more reliable, despite your anecdotal evidence.
mykothopea 2 years ago
I am not saying American cars have not improved, but they certainly break down and have more faults off the line than their Japanese counterparts. I also agree that GM going down was more a fault of their leadership than the UAW, but both play a part in this.

cult of personality
A cult of personality arises when a country's leader uses mass media to create a heroic public image through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships.

The political parties created in the wake of Germany's defeat in World War I consisted of a vast network of occult groups.The occult parties used the news media and the movies to project an image of a superior German people. They spoke of the coming of a new Messiah who would save Germany. Young Adolf Hitler.

Volkswagen means "people's car" in German
Adolf Hitler had a keen interest in cars even though he did not like to drive. In 1933, shortly after taking over as leader of Germany, he teamed up with Ferdinand Porsche to make changes to his original 1931 design to make it more suited for the working man, thus founding Volkswagen.
HippiesAreNazis 2 years ago
Hans Ledwinka discussed his ideas with Ferdinand Porsche, who used many Tatra design features in the 1938 "KdF-Wagen", later known as the VW Käfer—or Volkswagen Beetle. On 22 June 1934, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche agreed to create the "People's Car" for Hitler.

of course their have been important discoveries without government funding but what im saying is that huge amounts of investment over long periods of time was needed to put the US at the top in technology. This kind of investment isnt possible in the free market because companies will not invest millions in an idea for 20 years.
I mean imagine your the ceo and you go to the board saying hey we are gonna need millions on a project we arent even sure will make any money or have any impact.
thelaughingman 2 years ago
it takes ten years or so, and many millions of dollars, just to bring a new drug to market. Government is the bottleneck.. as it should be, perhaps, because it is responsible for 'the general welfare', but the result is that only GIANT companies can AFFORD to create new drugs. Smaller guys with great ideas simply can't afford the process of bringing them to market. less regulation = more life-saving drugs in this case, probably a few more bad ones too.. a trade off.
daveperk 2 years ago
but if you don't think some venture cap guys are out there raising millions for some idea that might not work or might take decades to work, think again. They're doing it. It's higher risk but the funds can be found. Not that govt doesn't have a place here, but statism/central planning are the wrong way to do it, and we're already there for any practical purpose.
daveperk 2 years ago
first i would like to point out that all the examples i have given were about government funded research. i have not said anything government run enterprises yet. GM and the american car companies are just awful. they have run the companies into the ground. i dont see how running a car company is more difficult than say putting a man into space or running the country's mail. not to worry though they will just give it away when they get it working again.
thelaughingman 2 years ago
to me, the primary reason GM is awful is the UAW. What has Oprompta done? Given the companies to them. Marx. Workers shall own the means of production.
Other car companies made money while GM lost it. Other companies were all time profitable while GM was losing BILLIONS, ten years ago, even longer ago. GM has been essentially subordinated to union for years. Now the union flat-out OWNS it, thanks to central planning. Thank you Karl Marx.

laughing dude,
I think there is a fundamental difference between govt FUNDED and govt OWNED.. funding is necessary at times, i.e. NASA... but the govt owning and running the car companies is a quantum leap from the programs you're describing, and you're also ignoring the gazillions of times when equally important discoveries and creations came about in the free market WITHOUT 'govt' (read-- TAXPAYER) funding. Govt is good for visionary leadership sometimes, but not for RUNNING EVERYTHING...
daveperk 2 years ago
yes im proud to see you can wiki search but if you continued to read on you would understand that bell labs was a government funded lab.TI lives off the DoD. yes people create these inventions but what allowed for the research were several people working towards that goal because of GOVERNMENT investment. Intel is a private company that came out of the state sector. This is normal procedure. taxpayer pay for the research assume the risks and the private sector gets all the benefit. thats a fact.
thelaughingman 2 years ago
you know when i hear people whine about how the government is evil in the market they never move beyond sophomoric jab at nancy pelosi or how they are socialist etc etc. it show a complete ignorance of American history. how did we get microchips, the internet, scientific management? it was through the state funding through the pentagon. People that are afraid of the government will get what they want from it, nothing. Governments that are afraid of the people give them what they want.
thelaughingman 2 years ago
there is a balance for govt's role in the markets, and that balance is massively tilted now in favor of govt. It was too far on that side BEFORE Obama, and now business leaders are living in genuine fear. Geithner quote to banker about him not wanting to take tarp funds "do you know who the f**k you're dealing with? I'll have the IRS audit you, every officer in your company, and every INVESTOR in your fund, if you don't do what we say".
This is STALINISM, laughing dude. Can't laugh it off
