Interesting article about the United Auto Workers vote authorizing a strike against the Big Three
NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT of UAW members voted to authorize a strike against Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis (the former Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth)! Now THAT is a pretty overwhelming voice.
This article is a deep-dive into who makes up the boards of these companies and what are their allegiances. They have deep ties into huge capital funds, the oil and defense industries, and all sorts of unsavory companies who love cutting down the middle-class as long as they can make more money.
Why yes, I am kind of pro-Union. Funny you should ask. ;-)

Wow! No, our gas is fairly stable around $3.20-$3.40. And we usually get $0.50-1.00 a gallon off from Albertson's grocery points. And I know what they'll blame it on: it is a temporary price increase because they're switching over to the winter fuel blend. Which is bullshit, because that implies that it'll go back down, which it won't.

Personally I think gas stations/oil companies should be required to public explain EVERY price hike. :o :o :o
