Gone are the highly rewarded union jobs for high school grads, or those with GEDs.
I remember my first car in 1970s was a Ford Pinto picked out by my parents and it broke so often that repair costs over lifetime added up to more than the original new car price.
And Ford dealer repair sometimes broke stuff and gave the car back in worse condition.
They were like my local Comcast cable.
The brand is so toxic here they go by an alias now: "Xfinity"
