Got another this AM. I sure like it when the fat ones jump into the deep sea nets set out weeks ago while taking profits! Would I jinx it to say it went lower by $2 but is up $4 now? It is too bad they don't update this in real time any more... dumb mistake as I think it added many clicks to their site. Probably was under 5 earlier today!

Hi Robert, my friends call me a flaming liberal and assume I'm a democrat, even though I was a registered Republican for 46 years. Nonetheless I do bear all the hallmarks of a liberal: Married 40 years (this april) to the same woman; church going family values guy; 6 children & 10 grandchildren (will be 11 tomorrow and just to be clear -- not a one has a tattoo or prison record), etc. When I worked I worked both Union and Non-Union and I can tell you hands down that the union employment pay and benefits was better for the worker by a factor of 10. Furthermore the union shops attracted the more skilled workers. Usually, when it came to govt work and serious commercial building the union employees were the ones that got the job done and got it done right. There's a 1.5 billion dollar hospital going up about a block from where I'm staying - I serious doubt the steel workers I see working on the foundation are scabs. Pity you focus on the auto industry as an example of liberal business practices. Look at the West Coast business - California to Washington - to see the influence of liberals in business. It's just plain hard for folks such as yourself who voted for Trump to see things as they really are. It's almost as though you live in different reality. From where I sit, you need to understand, Trump told me if I voted for Hillary I'd be stuck with a president perpetually embroiled in FBI investigations and scandals. I voted for Hillary and sure enuf he was right: I have a president perpetually involved in DOJ/FBI investigations and scandals. But I have to give him credit for draining the swamp... look at all those the "stable genius", who hires "only the best", has left: Pence, Kelly, Hicks, and KAC; suspect it wont be long before some of those are gone too - SAD! So I suggest if you want to understand how us libs think you meditate and take some yoga to get a bit more limber -- then try shoving your head up your ass a little further ;)
