    But the UAW base is the type of people that buy your products. So whats with the constant war on your own customer base. I would imagine your customers having more to spend allows them to buy more of your products…

      Although Henry Ford was a fucking Nazi, he had a lot of good common sense business and economic points. He made sure all of his employees could easily afford the cars they were building and it made an empire.

      How did we get to this point where a large portion of the country somehow believes workers shouldn’t be able to afford to buy anything?
