Turns out a bunch of people in Indianapolis, IN voted themselves out of a job recently. Yeah, good going UAW. This is why democracy sucks: People cannot be trusted once they figure out they can vote themselves a pay raise. In this case, they refused to take a 50% pay cut to keep their jobs (they were getting paid close to $30 an hour). Four hundred and fifty-six people said that they would much rather continue at their pay for the next year or so than take less pay and continue to have jobs for a lot longer, and keep a plant open that would continue to employ other people.
What the hell is wrong here? Who in their right mind would think "They wouldn't shut the plant down, they have to keep it open!" Oh, right, everyone who thought the bailout bill was a great idea. Too big to fail, right? I mean, it's not like we're in a recession or anything.
