Stop caring about GM's and Ford's state of fuckedness or unfuckedness? This tactic of unions strategizing and siding with capital hasn't worked out real well for the former, has it?.... This is a very strange turn you are taking here. Sounds like you are advocating a revival of the postwar capital-labor truce. But you have written very well about how the working class broke this truce, because it, well, sucked. Now it seems like you want a return to the old days. But as Morrissey said, we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore. Are you still ill?
