The policies are insane by the Biden Administration.

On one had, they are kneecapping the oil and gas industry, making ICE cars more expensive to drive and doing all they can to promote EVs.

The Union Workers see the Big 3 automakers, concentrating on cars that don’t make money and cutting back on cars that do make money.

A prime example Ford, they make a ton of money on F-150s and SUVs, but keep pushing EVs which lose money to the tune of several billion this year.

My local gas station - the cheapest in town, just hit $5.49/gallon (in So Cal).

As Rush used to say: Keep you eye on the price of gas, when gas goes up, so does everything else!

Yet denizens of the state will continue to vote for the likes of Biden and Newsom.

Lowering the hours from 40 hours/week to 32 hours/week and paying them for 40 hours is equivalent to a 20% increase right off the bat.

Economics is real, though. The union rates and rules just about bankrupted the auto industry once and the big three is now really only the big two because Chrysler-Jeep etc is foreign owned and I believe I remember the Obama Solution turned over GM to the union with only Ford maintaining any integrity. That all turned the major portion of the market to Toyota and Japan.

If they are not making as much as they would like I guess the only answer is to shut down their industry so they can all be "retired" and start lawn services. Their argument about keeping up with inflation is an argument with the government, not with GM and Ford."
