Psss....auto unions

The products are getting MUCH better. IMO, the 25B that Ford and GM are getting, I'm in favor of (socialist...maybe but what the hell we're doing it with everything else). That industry employs and brings in soooooo much coin, you can't turn your back on it.

Since they sell ~34,000 Vettes per year, how would Vette sales
"save 'em"?
