The morons running UPS apparently are the gift that keeps on giving.

The UAW's top wage is $32.32 per hour after two 3% wage increases since 2019. The union's proposal would bring that to $47.14, nearing the $49 per hour average top rate recently achieved in a tentative agreement by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters with United Parcel Service Inc.

It’s eventually going to become self correcting once they’ve run enough manufacturing out of the country.

Apparently trucks/suvs are still selling like hotcakes even though they are way over priced. IDK where the breakpoint is, I thought $75/80k for a pickup would be it and I was way off.

It’s already beyond my breaking point and I could actually afford a $75k pickup if I wanted to pay it. Morons with no basic time value of money or accounting knowledge are ruining their lives. It’s like all the idiots paying $150k for an idiotic wake boat.

My 2012 F250 might be my last new vehicle.

Spent $60k+ each for 3 new work trucks and that killed me to do that. NFW will I pay 60 grand for a vehicle that doesn't make me money, my 2015 3500 just might be my last personal truck I buy.

quality sucks as well
think of all those idiots making all those parts everywhere
A coworker of mine got an order from Kimberly Clark a few years ago for 750K for 3 large blowers
They came in with different parts like sheaves and belts, etc, 2 of them failed in year 1.
Bye bye KC..millions of lost potential revenue nationwide

And in the meantime AI gets closer and closer

Most wage workers in America are grossly underpaid--and of course, that was the reason unions were first started, terrible pay along with long hours, little vacation, no benefits, dangerous jobs, etc. American companies have a rich history of not wanting to pay people. The Wal-Mart Waltons are became billionaires on the backs of employees making little money and lousy benefits. All retail employees are underpaid; management would rather deal with high turnover than pay more to keep employees, and they can dumb the endless hiring and paperwork that goes with it on lower- and middle-managers.

And we all know why a lot of multinationals have opened plants in the South.

By all means please tell us. And I cannot express via basic words in this forum just how much I’m looking forward to your answer.

It's already here. The next 5 years are going to be very transformative in the corporate world. AI will be taking gray and white collar jobs at an increasing clip.

More than that: If Ras knew his aunt, Ras could have met his mother, in which case.....
