[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 290188, member: 3306"] Neighbors on either side of us are retired from GM. Both of them took the early retirement buyout. It is hard to feel sorry for people who have done so well. I can remember living in Arlington and knowing people who worked at the GM plant who were barely scraping by. How??? They made great money. They just always managed to spend more than they made. Thinking that the road goes on forever and the party never ends, I guess. I also remember one strike where the workers said that they were being put out of business by foreign auto makers. One news crew went around filming the parking lot. There weren't many GM cars in the employee lot. Lots of Toyotas, Nissans, and the like. I remember thinking that if those workers didn't have enough faith in their own product to buy one, why should I? [/QUOTE]
