AAAAAAAAA! gosh darned keyboard. : ) Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:32:42 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/30894514.html#IDComment8411183 http://dev.www.komonews.com/news/30865754.html#IDComment8378983 I just read the article, it's to bad Ford is not going to sell it in the us. those people at Ford must be ridiculously retarded. 65 MPG and it's not ugly I would buy one in a heart beat. instead will end up with the 32 MPG gas version while Honda and Nissan come up with a 60 MPG diesel and run over Ford and the not so big 3 again. "Americans see hybrids as the darling," says Global Insight auto analyst Philip Gott, "and diesel as old-tech." the blundering 3 need to open their eyes and stop listening to these dumb annalist. Hybrids aren't the darling, fuel mileage is. the old-tech is inefficient the gas guzzling pigs. I'm frustrated with the stupefied 3. HA!A!A!A!A!A!A!A!A! ok I'm breathing now .

I'm going to go buy some rum, wooden arrows and go hunt squirrels at the racetrack. thats about all the Paulson plan was good for.

Obama did." In my opinion the problem with most of our country’s leader ship is the unwillingness or fear to tell it like it is, Obama told it like it was on this issue. I understand where McCain is coming from but based on our track record, I bet both Pakistan and Iran wouldn’t be surprised to hear Obama’s response which to me it’s not a treat it’s a fact. When it came to the Russia question I thought WOW that’s got to be tough. I liked Obama’s response, while it wasn’t the yes or no answer it was supposed to be; to me it was better than that gutless maybe answer given by McCain. When it came to the economy neither stepped up to the plate, I thought that was chicken s**t of both of them. They really didn’t have to say anything after their support for that $700 billion dollar robbery; they both showed me who they will ultimately be working for, regardless of what they say. Actions speak louder than words.

She admits it wasn't easy to vote yes” I bet the Rum, and wooden arrows, made it a bit easier, or maybe it was a greasy palm. “The senator says Wall Street greed may have got us where we are” Yea Wall Street greed got us where we are and government stupidity is going to lead us where we are going. "I'm not happy with any of this," she said. "I am as angry as anybody that we are in this situation but sometimes you've got to eat your vegetables and boy, this is one of those times." Hey lady those weren’t vegetables you fed us, they were a load of manure. "If this was just an issue about slapping them, I think the vote in Congress would be overwhelming to slap them. But the truth is that the fallout from the economic crisis is hitting everyone," she said. GOOD JOB! Senator now the crisis is just hitting the taxpayers. But the truth is it’s ok for large corporations to be greedy and engage in reckless business practices because a little grease goes a long way in congress. You will not have my vote when you’re up for reelection and that will be an easy vote.

I think somebody took Your Idea of starting a business like you described goto Planetechs.com. your idea is far better than losing our jobs to another state or worse another country.

I bet you've stood around talking once or twice maybe not for an hour but even 5 min could be considered misappropriation of company time. so your just as pathetic as we are.

I didn't know Boeing was special. name a few regular company's. do you work at a regulars company? if you work at Boeing what was the regular company you worked at before? name some, other wise stop whining..... whiner.

I'll stand up. besides in the long run ill make more than what was lost.

I think your right Boeing can train some one else to assemble an aircraft any where. i don't think it would be as easy for Boeing to move as some people think, other wise they would have left along time ago. especially the 47 as you know those drawings are a pain. tribal knowledge rules the 47. you cant deny that. I would like to see Boeing pull off moving the 47 else where. while not impossible, in the future, I doubt any time soon. i work on the 47 line my self, its impressive in peaces when it comes together its something else.

Some of us are going to lose more than just our pay. For Boeing The longer the strike last the more some of the newest members are going to forget which means they are going to have to be retrained which takes time. I’m shore you know how the catch up game goes; it usually takes twice as long. I don’t think Boeing can bet too much on us going broke and accepting whatever contract they put on our face. The reason I think that is because nobody can predict the future. What would happen if the airline industry hits another major bump in the road and starts cancelling orders? If that bump falls within the amount of time we were on strike and the time it took us to get back to speed they stand to lose millions.

I'm honestly curious.

The fact is, the us auto mobile industries main problem is their failure to produce a product that could compete in terms of quality, and now in terms of both quality and fuel economy. While they may have some models that are competitive they have generally lost the trust of the consumer. As far as greed, GM is a perfect example of that. Bob lutz one of the top dogs at GM got a 48 percent rise a few months back even though GM is sinking fast. Lutz is asking the government for a bailout he feels GM deserves. How is that not greed? Where is the sacrifice from the top? I understand that if GM sinks it will be felt, I’ll bet around the world. And those GM factory workers could be coming for my job at a lower pay with perhaps no incentives and they will more than likely be far more skilled than me. I’m just putting that out there for the trolling I see coming.
