Imagine what GM would have done had the fight resulted in two deaths of 1 worker!

In a statement released Thursday, GM said it was cooperating with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office over what it described as “an altercation between two employees of a third-party service provider at Orion Assembly early Thursday morning.” GM also offered its thoughts and prayers to the victim’s family.

Other than the crime scene why close down the entire factory?

Mortal1 08-11-2022 01:26 PM

Nope. I prefer to ignore all these news items that there is absolutely nothing I can about. A lot of us have enough baggage from the previous 50/60 years to worry/think/about to consider that which you refer.

Then it would have been the National Enquirer reporting it, not USA Today

I look at USA Today online. Lately so much stuff is Subscription Only. What used to be my go-to paper many years ago while traveling etc has become a very biased “news” source. So easy to see their slant. But I still review, what I can see for grins.

Hey I still have a subscription to the paper but get it for what is going on in the bubble. Did a double take when I saw the headline when they complained about people getting money as campaign contributions running for commissioners of Sumter.

Turns out it was the people running against the developers favorites. Wonder what the developers favorites collected?

Just so you don't think I'm slipping:

Yesterday's fun fact (A2) was:

"261.5M - The amount of troy ounces of gold the U.S. holds. The U.S. is the highest holder of gold per tonne."

What does "highest holder of gold per tonne" mean?

It's really easy to find out. Each candidate must disclose their financials monthly. All it takes is a few strokes of your keyboard.

So you are willing to pay them for their political bias spin in every story? Why give them your support?

This sums that up!

Storage is located high on mountain.

Current GM president Mary Barra is a fully WOKE S&P 500 executive, which means she recognizes profit as evil and will milk the federal government teat until it runs dry.

OhioBuckeye 08-12-2022 07:21 AM

You’re exactly right!

Nice to see you can find humor in the death of a human being.

I enjoyed your post and understood it. Interesting how many people did not. I've read so many things by subpar writers. Your post shows how some people overlook things while others have an attention to detail. I am with you in the latter group. 😉

Would that person be less dead if that poster did not make a humorous comment???? We are all mortal and most of us are closer to the end than the beginning. Humor is a compensating release mechanism. If you want to read the bible on black humor, may I suggest "The House of God" about medical residency in Boston.

I DO NOT subscribe. Only quickly look thru some free stories. Not the ones in the Left column.

Motels used to give them away to people spending the night, do not even see it there anymore so have not read it in years

loufromnewjersey 08-12-2022 09:51 AM

And if it was three deaths it would be a movement

H-m-m-m. A new claim to fame, maybe, since that would be a first. :clap2::coolsmiley:

blueash 08-12-2022 03:26 PM

I know some people don't process what they read, or understand why a detail is given, or frankly care about details or truth.

One death.
One death of one worker.
One death of one visitor.
One death of one supervisor.
One death of one EMT responder.
One death of one executive.

These were all possibilities, but this newspaper decided to tell you more than simply writing one death. They could have written one death of a worker, but I have no quibble with the chosen very clear sentence.

The story was obviously written by bean counters. They are taught to list everything out individually so as to take as much time as possible adding everything up.
