When do all the sob stories start on the local news with the UAW guy just trying to make a living and raise a family?

New cars are damn near out of reach for most folks and these guys want to raise the price even more. Maybe that’s part of the plan. Folks can’t afford a new car. Forced to use public transportation and we fall right into the laps of the globalists and their 15-minute cities.

Or, Wall St just packs up and makes the cars in Mexico and all the UAW guys are out of work and learning how to make solar panels. Because we all know that Congress will do nothing to stop outsourcing and off-shoring of any of those jobs.

Labor costs have little to do with the recent enormous increases in car prices. Chip shortages and other production problems reduced supply by both domestic and import brands while ultra-low interest rates and COVID payments boosted demand. The domestic manufacturers reacted by price-gouging and price fixing to increase profits.

The managers at the Big Three who were so adept at fleecing consumers can hardly complain when the UAW now wants their cut.
