So, what is it you do for a living Dakota, you seem to be avoiding the question. Are you one of those desk jockeys, perhaps working for a foreign automaker? It's quite clear from your statements that you have no experience in "real" labor, but hey, I may be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.
Rick, you certainly have a colorful life history. What do I do for a living? Not hard to guess. I spend all day behind a desk or at the computer. I doubt very many Macresource Forum readers work as blacksmiths or lumberjacks. My picture of auto manufacturing is what I see on nightly news. Spanking new factory floors, brightly lit and definitely air conditioned. You are describing a 40 year old setting. My point that everybody ignored was how much do coal miners make? Now,that is a job that is worth $1000 an hour. BTW, 8 out of our past 10 cars have been American cars, Detroit American, and have been very happy with them.
