johnnydoom Price a new John Deere combine!!! Or even just a tractor. Those guys make less than $30. And the company has billions in profit. Every quarter!!
Every avg Joe needs a combine, almost like a $60,000 pickup truck.

propman Noticed yesterday the fella across the street got a new pickup. Has a motorcycle, a newish Mustang(never drives), wife has a car, they live in FL in the winter now. (retired)
He was a school teacher. iirc, a lower paid band instructor.
UAW gotta have $50/hr. just to make ends meet!!
Fella about 3 blocks from has a few JD tractors in his garage.

Fixed it......
Strike lasts too long companies will just open up some shuttered facility in Mexico and ramp up…CEO will still have his mansion and the UAW can fight over who mows his lawn…Has anyone looked to see how many cars/trucks are sitting around waiting to be shipped??? Some models have 100+ days of inventory sitting on lots not shipped. Auto companies are not stupid…they built up a large inventory for this. They won’t have to shut down and pay workers to do nothing, they will just them strike and let the union deplete their funds on strike “pay”…
Bravopilot Apparently, yes.
Other than a slow starting Georgia team, the SEC kind of looks like garbage so far this year.
Ask most UAW people walking the picket line details of what they are striking for and most don't have a clue just that the union told them to.
azgreg Maybe, hard to agree on "modest income". Going through this now in trying to convince myself to retire.
Rickochet Works best this way for unions.

Depends on lifestyle choices. You're smart enough to know what you can afford.

I'm not retiring until some employee approaches my boss and asks who the senile old man in the corner cube is that keeps mumbling that Reagan would bomb them into a new time zone.
johnnydoom hahahaha oh shit!!! That's too funny!!! Maybe start mumbling about Carter as well...
