I'd challenge any one of those mofos to come to work with me, I guarantee that they will be whining to get back to their cushy desk job by 8:00 am....

 

Oh and instead of bitching that they work such long hours, and don't have a retirement at 50, maybe they should have joined an union instead of asking organized labor to give back what many have literally fought and died to get them in this country. Read your history books, its all there.

Yes it is their job to make money, they make it of the backs of the labor force. No labor force, no trading on wall street.. Yes they know how to make money, by taking advantage of the middle class and lying cheating and stealing from them all in the name of greed.

 

 

and the middle class lets them, falls for their marketing and promise of a better tomorrow every time.. the middle class stays bent over with lube at the ready.. Nothing has changed in 100 plus years since the Federal Reserve was created and we moved to an investment based economy.

 

 

Everyone is culpable, from the poorest of the poor to the richest of the rich, as long as Greed is the fuel, as long as everyone continues to look for that miracle quick buck, and long as monetary and materialistic wealth is the driving force behind success, this pattern will never change..

 

 

to me it's not having what you want, it's wanting what you have that achieves happiness and success.

I think I just lost a few IQ points. Now I need to go read something meaningful to override it...

Now that I think about it there probably aren't many wall streeters that drive GM and Chevy pick ups so there may not be many who agree with that BS.

 

Also, if they are so freakin busy when did they get the time to type up that nice letter?

"unions" and "work" don't go together. LOL!

 

Amen to the OP.

 

Once corporate America dries up, so does the country and all the cushy union jobs. Think about it.

I'll agree with that. Everyone wants a dollar they never earned.

 

What's the difference in living off investments and living off a pension that is supported by investments or um um um tax dollars?

 

 

I say, make your own money! All I need is some freedom to make my money. I don't need an investment or a union to cover for me.

Probably had a few minutes after knocking one of those zombies out of the way of the door in front of their work place. Most of those squatters don't have a clue what the movement even is.

I have no issue with living off investments, a lot of people work hard to make those investments grow, and it's a good thing..

 

 

the problem is that right now the door is so wide open for people to scheme and cheat and use the money of those that do break their backs working hard for what little they have to survive.

 

The repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act in 1999 is what has brought us to this point. That Act was designed to control speculation on wall street and keep investment and commercial banking separate, as well as keep investment bankers from serving as officers of commercial banks.

 

The result of Bill Clinton's Administration repealing this vital piece of law is what has strangled our economy and caused all of these major banking issues, that repeal basically allowed Wall Street and Banks to run a muck, lie, cheat, and steal from those that work their asses off to barely scrape by.

      The Peckish Synapse

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
