Life in every aspect would be better if government stays out of it. Look at the student loan fiasco.

Right!! —Government and fiasco are synonymous.
There’s nothing they can do better or more economically than private enterprise.
They’re even failing at their responsibilities to uphold the constitution and protect our borders. I saw on the news about twenty railroad cattle cars filled with people headed for our border.
Talk about union busting labor! The dem governor of New Mexico said last week “the Constitution isn’t an absolute.” God help us!

Well Mau, She doesn't need to believe that, cuz a Federal District judge has just shown her otherwise. There are a few on the bench that insist on that, and the SCOTUS has been pretty consistent about backing them up, when they decide to address the cases.

Great to hear!
I’m optimistic.
I’d just be happy with common sense.
I like Gov Lamont because he shows common sense.

Government programs. Student loan

Excessive wages, costs and pension liabilities can k**l the best run company. There will come a point when they will leave Detroit completely like most have done.
Businesses are created to make profit, I know that’s hard for some to understand but when the climate is no longer friendly for a business, they will move somewhere it is.
California is a perfect example.

I'm saying are workers in general intitled to part of the profits and if so do they share in the losses. Ford announced the EV car production suffered a 40,000,000 loss this year so should those workers be on the hook for part of that loss if the workers on the profitable production lines are untitled to share the profits. it's a general philosophical question not limited to the auto industry.

Just my opinion, you can share in the profits when you buy stock in that company.
Some companies offer stock options along with a salary.
If people believe that they deserve more money when the value of the stock is up then why not get less money when the stock is down.
Sorry I guess I just repeated what you said.

Larry, you hit the nail right on the head. I can tell you that from my work experience, workers that were shareholders were highly motivated to create success in their work units, to maintain their jobs & share in the profits produced ! Sure, the wealthy class that are big investors profit, but if you are at a publicly held company you can too. I'm not worried about Ford's decision, why invest huge money into a sector that is unproven, even with huge subsidies that are, after all, paid by the taxpayers. Gotta stop 🛑 now, or we'll be upstairs to continue this topic.
