Gosh, I was reading some of these posts and I'm really disillusioned. Here I thought this was a bunch of high class traders. Now I find a pack of blue collar laborers. Boy am I surprised to find the people I've been reading are as low class as the people I work with!
It shows you just can't tell anything about the people on these threads. You can't know anything for sure (except that Pat is in the running for "Sexiest Man Alive"-that was corroborated by a poster who'd met him). Ya know, all we really have are our words. Do you think anyone would pay attention to those Bubba's who post, "This one's gettin' ready to move," or "The good news is coming out on this one this week" if we could see these jokers? Maybe, but I doubt it.
Dwight, you lost the vision in one of your eyes? That's awful! Was this a union job? Did they reimburse you in any way? An eye! God, but no one could properly compensate me for that! I feel for you man.
Tell me, is this why GM should "Fire `em all"? I'm sorry if I'm connecting two unrelated events, but as I said above, I only have your words to know you by. As a member of a union myself, I find your words insulting. Does that surprise you? Were you looking for a reaction or was this just an unthinking comment? Heck, I can understand that. But if you think about it for just a moment, you will realize your words were no less offensive than the racist comments made on this thread not long ago.
We all work hard. I've heard it and believe it. It would be foolish for a CEO to put in less hours than necessary. Union and non-union laborers all work very hard. Why do you want to judge GM workers? What, in your opinion, should they get paid? Should it be more or less than you? Do you think so little of GM management that you don't think they will be able to negotiate with the union? Whatever happens, the stock price will reflect it very soon.
You know, this isn't the Worker's Paradise. Your old enough to remember that place, right? Where the government set the wages? Everyone was happy, but for some reason it failed. Do you think they were paying the workers too much?
Think on it; but mostly, think on what you say. In this arena, all we have are words.
Good trading, I wish you the best,
Jay
