Can you please provide an example of unions making education better in your neck of the woods?

And fire those union workers? Not very "pro-middle class" of you...

No they aren't...

Of course not...

P.S. I'm the one who actually looked up the #

The big three should collude together and fire them all. Start over with foreign auto makers business model in this country. I don’t hear none of them complaining?…. Once electric vehicles pickup won’t need half of them anyway.

CORPORATE GREEEEED!

Oh, wait, they lose money on every EV they sell...

Ford loses $32K per EV...

From NPR: "Ford's numbers work out to a loss of about $32,000 per EV that it sold in the second quarter, compared to a profit of $3,200 per vehicle sold by the Ford Blue division. "

They have a completely different culture...

Complete nonsense...

I wasted my time to go look this up.
Sales of electric cars in the EU broke records in 2022. Which country in Europe is leading the way? | Euronews

"Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) - pure electric vehicles - also broke records in 2022, taking 12.1 per cent of the total market share, compared to 9.1 per cent in 2021, or 1.9 per cent in 2019."

If you round up to the nearest 20% then about 20% is an accurate statement. But then again that would be true if there were .1%.
So, basically it is a lie.

Do you have a better source? Or since about 100% of your statements are wrong (rounding up to the nearest 100%), should we just ignore your posts?

I believe that around 1980 Harley Davidson went bankrupt and the workers purchased the company (and did profit sharing, I think) and made it profitable and produced better motorcycles. Something like that happened with the Green Bay Packers also. The city owns them.

Why stop with the big 3, let fire everybody. Everybody can sit home you can watch the economy tank. Then not only can you complain about the unions, you can complain about the government, why you can't put food on the table, maybe you can watch Wheel of Fortune, that of course there are any union workers to air the show. What a great world

The City owns the Green Bay Packers and that is similar to profit sharing with employees???? I have got to go back to school and learn these new-fangled concepts. Wouldn't the players owning the team be the correct comparison??? Or are we asserting that the government should own the means of production for things? I'm not sure, but I think there is a word for that. starts with social....but I can't get the whole word to come to mind.

E-vehicles have great potential for profit because they use fewer parts. Also, they have some other advantages over piston internal Combustion engine vehicles. The US big 3 are trying to switch to EVs as fast as they can.

In a school system, the 5th day could be done by personal computer at home.

Ever notice that some posters have an ax to grind and come here to do nothing but push their agenda?

We are not a self sufficient isolated island nation. The market place is global. There may be some technologies that we can protect but for the most part, manufacturing things like bricks, TV's, washing machines, automobiles can be globally produced and marketed. So, if you are in one of those markets, you have to have a competitive price. Price is a function of being competitive in quality and price. Price is a function of labor, overhead, material and profit. If you let anyone of those things to expand, you have to decrease others to remain viable. Labor goes up, automate or outsource. If you don't, you will go out of business.

Are you asserting that all students have a personal computer to access or that the government/schoo system should provide them for them all?
Are you asserting that virtual learning for school aged children is a effective as in person?

In ANY manufacturing process, the MORE units that are made, the lower the cost per unit. When E-vehicles are made in numbers equal to Internal Combustion numbers, THEN because of fewer parts for the EV, the EV costs will be LOWER.

The post to which you replied stated "pure nonsense."
The post to which the pure nonsense was made was "Fair may be THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in life. That's why we have laws."

This is a legitimate question as I may have missed something in translation. Which post was yours in reference to? if it was the pure nonsense post, what was their axe to grind and what was the agenda?
sorry, not trying to be antagonistic (at least on this post) just trying to follow the conversation.

I know that is a general principal but is that ALWAYS true? Do we know that the components of batteries have a lower cost per unit as they increase, or might they be a scarce resource that increasing demand without the ability to easily increase supply would in fact increase the price per unit? Like TVs, cars and trucks as computer chips became scarce in the recent past? Or maybe the cost per unit actually increases until such time as a completely seperate supply chain has to be developed and some time down the road, who knows how far, the cost per unit MAY come down?

Justice equals fairness. Today people would say something is a FAIR price. Years ago someone might have said that something is a JUST price.
.......Another example, Judges TRY to give the same sentence to different criminals for the same crime. They call it sentencing guidelines.

I am perfectly happy. The world is basically FAIR. luck is also a big factor!

Yea I get all that but the fact is NO one is buying them. Last quarter GM sold a total of 3,300 ev cars.

Unions in Minneapolis have made incredible advancements in education. 5 years ago 60% of children of color could not read at grade level, now 81% cannot read at grade level. With more funding they could easily reach 90% of kids unable to read at grade level.

Some posters seem very picky and argumentative about every subject. Apparently, they have a NEED to feel superior. I would be honored if they would ignore me.

I disagree. Fairness is an eye for an eye. That is not what our justice system is about.

In 1900 more people bought horses than automobiles. E-vehicles today are like Infernal Combustion Engine vehicles were in 1900. EVs have a long road of development ahead of them. IC vehicles are rapidly becoming classic and antiques.

Really? Really ? Lucky is by definition unfair. Fairness would mean everyone is lucky. Then it wouldn't be luck, it would just be.

Is it fair that (I assume) that you were born in the U.S. and so many people are born into extreme poverty in other countries?
Is it fair that you have clean drinking water and millions do not?
Is it fair that you get to live in the villages and an 18 year old cannot be an owner?
Is it fair that you have Freedom of Speech and Religion and so many do not?
The list is infinite and the answer to all is no. Life is not fair and is not even close to fair. You just have to make the best out of whatever you are dealt. Then some other points, but they are religious so I will leave them out so as not to side track things completely.

Define rapidly? Since over 90% of cars sold in the U.S. are ICEs, how are they antiquated? They are brand new and have MANY positives over the EVs (just as the EV has positives over the ICEs). You are just many years ahead of your time, if your time actually comes.

Biden said the workers should have a share of the profits….lol. Oh sure, mindless, tire mounters should share in profits…ignorant union fool doesnt understand economics….just understands a bud after work.

And I would be honored if I had any effect at all in stopping the posting of lies. Do you think 12% is about 20%? really?
How would it even make me superior to correct mistatements????
I didn't do anything to determine the numbers.
I didn't do anything to affect the numbers
I do not have access to any better information than anyone else (assuming they have the internet which a very high percentage of posters on TOTV do).
I do not have any better education than anyone else (that I know of).
I do not know my IQ or anyone else's on here.

How about trying what I do when someone points out that I am wrong.
1. Admit you are wrong and move on.
2. Don't continue to restate the exact same sentences even after you have been shown that it is wrong.

Isn't Climate Change THE MOST IMPORTANT? At least I could swear you said that in other threads...

No, the government is forcing them to switch to EVs by banning ICEs.

There must be no unions in Chicago then. Reports out last week have less that 10% of children of color reading or doing math at grade level.

Are the Packers now playing better football?

And they are losing 10's of thousands of $$$ on every one sold...

No, really? ;)

Should this apply to all employees or just auto workers?

Thought experiment: Smart kid goes to college, then medical or dental school. Defers 8+ years of income while training. Comes out of school half a million dollars in debt. Then takes on another half million in debt to start a practice. Now needs to hire a high school graduate as assistant or receptionist. Should that assistant get a cut of the profits? If so, why? Did they invest 8 years of their life and a million dollars of capital?

He wasn't using my post as an example. He was using the post I responded to as an example... You know, "Jimmy One Note"...

Better than the Bears....
