Yes, the only way the auto companies will survive is if the union contracts are torn up or completely renegotiated. How long will it take for the union management to get it through their thick skulls that a wage reduction and benefit concessions for ALL is better than many being out of work?????
The “unborn” issue is the most ludicrous of all.
cobble, heat’s been on for a month, but only came “on” rarely. Did this morning, definitely.
You can turn all 4 burners on the stove for 10-15 mins (don’t believe all the crap about how dangerous it is, isn’t it like cooking?) if you’re nearby. Gas is typically paid for by LL and 4 burners=40kbtu, enough to nicely warm a 2-bed awhile.
WHO’S YOUR DADDY?
CMU;
If you think I am advocating for the bail-out of GM or Chrysler, you are dead wrong. I think that the federal government should not have given these companies ONE cent. They should have gone into chapter 11, tore up their contract with the UAW, and started again.
BTW: I appreciate your dismissive tone.
Can I just say on behalf of Benson:
“Yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I know some of you really like Minard, but in case you missed it here was a really nice one from him/her posted last night. He/she has tried to have me banned?? I send in tips to Mr. B all the time, try to get the conversations going when threads are slow and generally contribute to the discussion best I can. And he doesn’t believe I’m a homeowner, apparently…
“I am late to this discussion but I just want to say that 11217 is my least favorite poster. He has quite often attacked me for my opinions and attempted to insult me with phrases like “missing a chromosome” or “moron”. He is a nasty piece of work and makes this blog less enjoyable. I doubt very much he owns anything more substantial than a bicycle. I have implored Mr. B to ban him as I think he brings a disturbing, almost psychotic tone to brownstoner.com.”
And these are a couple of very nice quotes from him/her last week…but IM the only one who says nasty things…

Ha! 11217, really, how old are you? Are you on meds?

cmu, the union legacy drove the autos, the steels, the airlines to bankruptcy or near bankruptcy time and time again.
Why aren’t the japanese in similar shape??? Union legacy issues. benson is right.
I turned heat on this morning reluctantly of course. It is just so ungreen I tell complaining tenants.
What is temp inside Cobble? maybe right day to bake a cake or loaf of bread. Also find that colder night temps improve my sex life.
