Yes, and now after having helped the American worker to gain reasonable work hours and wages, they are now killing the American worker's jobs by driving companies out of business. Good thing we have unions to steal, I mean tax, our hard earned money. |

Good thing we > have unions to steal, I mean tax, our hard earned money. It really depends how you define reasonable wages. In the cost of building a new car, approx 30% is for raw materials and 70% is labor costs and health insurnace alone adds about 1500 dollars to the price of each new car from GM. The bubble is bursting and time to pay the piper and get runaway costs under control. |

"I guess all other costs of doing business is free....right? "
*lol* There would appear to be many costs of production not accounted for in that oversimplified formula! |

Welll... Raw materials and fuel is hardly all labor Most of the costs are sales, marketing, profiteering The prices can theoretically come down quite a lot The price of oil is one of the cost most obvious to the ordinary customers The use of alternative energy is obviously favored by the high costs of oil For last thirty 30 years we have been getting warnings that the prices of oil would be going up steeply but most people have ignored it Finally now the price of oil is noticable for most people There have been alternatives available for a long time but they are still a long way off at replacing oil altogether but it seems that the higher costs now will speed things up The old companies rely on inertia and slow changes The old companies management have missed out on doing these neccessary changes and there is also a question of the authorities to help create the infrastructure for the new energies The authorities should put a lot of taxes on oil and stimulate use of fuel cells If they did that the changes will go even quicker and the need to invade more countries to get more oil would be less |
