When I was in college (60's)I worked at the General Motors Detroit Forge (Hamtramck) chem. labs. At that time, line workers were making $30 / hr, they all drove new GM cars (mostly Cadillacs) and did drugs and alcohol on the job. Supervisors had their hands tied and the simplest filing of a charge against one of them caused walkouts and sit-down strikes.

I know, I also worked on the line for several months.

GM management made contractual benefit agreements that they KNEW THEN would eventually bankrupt the company, but they were all making a fortune and they didn't care. Now they whine.

yep, it is very sad what this country has turned into...

half the population is dependent on the government for its livelihood, illegal drugs, pornography, abortion & out of wedlock sex are prevalent everywhere, we have Leftists/Marxists from the POTUS & Congressional crooks on down to city halls running the country into the toilet and the majority of folks are only interested in themselves while turning away from God...and we wonder why we're in the mess we're in?
