Every single linemen I know is a white male and voted for Trump.
The money isn’t a big deal for Biden. I’m sure there’s plenty from the Ukraine
In his war chest.

Maybe someone in the crowd can fix the short circuited wiring in his brain.

Those are the clowns that have an “I’m The NRA and I Vote” bumper sticker on one side of the bumper of their pickup truck and a Clinton, Obama or Biden for president bumper sticker on the other side. IOW. Morons.

Biden already got the envelope and is now delivering his influence

The Biden attention to Labor is pathetic. Labor has visions of restoration that will never come. As GM and Ford and Chrysler continue to lose market share, union jobs are forever gone

GM will be cone before Biden

LOL, I wonder if it’s being held at the Mccormick Center, and if so they charged themselves the going rate to have someone come over and plug a lamp in like they do other conventions there...

I think Amazon is forming a union. Starbucks workers are trying as well.

GM is no longer too big to fail.

Most of its revenue comes from China. In China, Xi is culling businesses that might include GM. GM is junior pardner to all it’s businesses in China. China companies own all the GM products and the Americans are just no longer required.

I hope the UAW dies a very painful death. They stole my retirement savings invested in GM bonds

Biden will claim that he put himself through college and law school by working as an electrician.

I know a guy whose business is designing and setting up convention booths all across the country

They refuse to work in NYC and Chicago because of insane union rules and costs

Yep, my FIL lost most of his retirement when they pulled that $%@#, and coming from the Detroit area I grew up watching that festering cancer devouring the city first hand.

The local union business managers and business assistants don’t have fear economic downturns or layoffs. That’s a problem for the rank and file who still have to pay their dues for these loafers to sit on their fat asses and push money up to the IBEW leadership.

I read somewhere that the UAW is in a demographic death spiral. There is something like 5 retired auto workers for every working union member. I may not remember the exact number of retired to working right, but it is a very lopsided ratio of retired to working.

Yep, IMTS, International Machine tool Show, is held there every other year.

The costs are astronomical. Why they don’t move it is anyone’s guess, but kickbacks plays the heavy odds on that among the dealers I know.

That photo is a perfect example of that a hole in action. I am waiting for someone to knock him on his ass. The phrase “for you” should have been excised and my brain added at the beginning, as in My Brain don’t work!
