Think about this:

You and I would rather support the corrupt narco-state of Mexico and it's workers by buying a vehicle made by near-slaves than buy a vehicle produced in our own country by the Marxist mobster garbage known as the UAW.

What happened to the USA?

"OSHA and the union would have to approve the cups to make sure they were "safe". No telling how long that would take."

If you collect a hazard you have to dispose of it properly as well.

Therefore, they will also need an “enviromental impact study” as well. LOL! That’s gonna take some time.

That's nothing.

There's a crackhead in DC with his fingers on the nuclear, Internet kill-switch, and Federal Reserve Note printing buttons.

Mix it in to some green weenie’s margaritas and recycle it.

I know. I’m certainly not proud of my attitude. But these unions need to be restrained. They are a bigger threat to America than any Mexican narco-oligarc.

I think FoxNews (not the local Detroit affiliate) called this “Cash for Crunkers.”

Kirsten Powers never did a hard days work getting her hands dirty. She has no idea what an ‘’industrial’’ job is and how important it is not to be stoned and drunk doing such work. As to ‘’two wrongs don’t make a right’’. yes, your right. But on the cheeky side of that, check out my tag line. :-)

The time is rapidly approaching when the people to whom this is exposed will wonder why it is a problem.

I worked at a car plant for a time and heard stories of employees being caught on camera, on the premises, drinking beer. Nope, this is nothing new, and it hasn’t been tolerated for a long time.

“Remember, the “tipsters” called the TV station.”

I wonder what sort of trouble the tipster was in prior to deciding to “flip” these guys. So much for the so-called UAW brotherhood.

My instincts tell me it was probably the girlfriend of one of those guys in the video trying to save her own UAW job, to avoid being sent to jail herself and just to cause one or more of those guys a world of hurt.

Legitimate concerns for the safety of co-workers, misuse of taxpayer dollars and overall product quality probably had nothing to do with it.

The UAW has teams of lawyers who specialize in UAW-related cases. Whether this would be one of those cases or not, I have no idea.

They could hurt themselves and/or make an inferior product

I think you're letting the bankers off too easily here....

When bankers make bad judgements, it’s typically been because of greed and/or government coercion, not drunkenness. When have you ever heard of a bank or an investment failing because someone had one too many at lunch?

You'd be surprised. I remember reading back in the 80s there were companies on Wall Street that didn't make any decisions after lunch because the power players were seriously coked up by then. And I doubt these particular workers are going to be the margin of failure for Chrysler.

There's some substance abuse in every line of work, and cocaine was the drug of choice for the affluent back then. If the power players weren't making any decisions, then they weren't running the company into the ground. Missing opportunities, maybe, but you and I weren't paying for it. It was none of our business. They alone bore the consequences of their behavior, and it was up to the company to take disciplinary action as it wished. But since those Chrysler employees are working for a government-owned company, they're working for you and me. And as long as they're working for us, they need to stay straight on the job. Otherwise, this wouldn't be a blip on my radar screen, though I might be even less inclined to buy a Chrysler than I've always been.

Let's just say we stop bailing out all these fools in the banking and auto industries and the next time some guys are caught drinking beer, smoking reefer, or snorting coke at lunch, it won't be a public outrage. It'll simply be an internal company matter, and possibly a local police matter. You and I will never have to hear about it again. That's what I'd prefer.
