yeah, that guy who uses a 1 million dollar robot to put wheels and lugs nuts on GM cars gets paid 30-40 Per hour, plus benefits, external equity, pension etc. Go figure?

We can't really talk on this board about free markets and capitalism as our cars are German, where people-benefits supplied by the state are much greater than our own.
Let's keep it in perspective.
I only wish we had universal healthcare so, say, GM and Ford and Google and the local bookstore could focus on their core business instead of paying for health insurance.
