Not only:    Many 4 bar pilots on the other site think they are the greatest pilots in history, they think they are investing experts,  (betting it all on bombardier) legal experts ( see the st Catherine's plane crash nonsense)

Makes me laugh as so many today would be lost without the pink line.
Yeah, you know more than anyone...on any subject. 

Oh, I forgot.  No matter how many kids die, FTU's are perfect and not responsible.

They want to sue me on the other site.  For dare criticizing.

Anyone that's taken Economics 101 knows that you can't push on a rope,
and water runs downhill.  The brain trust on the other website lacks education
so they are unaware of this.

Billion dollar bailouts of uncompetitive companies doesn't work, and the brain
trust on the other website seems determined not to learn from the lessons of
history - in fact, the GM Oshawa plant is closing, and is front page news today.

There is a description for people that are unable to learn.  They certainly
aren't bright enough to comprehend irony, either:

[quote]$3.5 CAD billion bailout for Canadian subsidiaries of the Big Three, saying that it was an unfair financial burden on the average Canadian, as well as another excuse for the Detroit automakers to postpone much needed change ... federal and provincial governments spent $782-million in the past five years on the Big Three, saying "These have been a bottomless pit of requests for cash".

... union president Ken Lewenza disagreed, saying that the bailout should be seen by Canadians as [u]a loan that will be paid back when the country's economy is prosperous again[/u][/quote]

That didn't work out.  What a surprise.

[quote]On May 14, 2018, the Canadian federal government announced it would fall short of breaking even from the bailouts of Chrysler Group LLC and General Motors Co. by $3.5 billion.

On June 26, 2018, the remaining undisclosed loan amount was written off.

The Fraser Institute estimates the [u]total cost to taxpayers at $3.7 billion that was never repaid[/u][/quote]

Yeah, that didn't work last time, so do it again, to buy some votes.

Fer chrissake, you of all folks should know better.  That is NOT from economics 110, it's from a first day, first semester engineering class.  Depending on the track one starts in, could be in the first class on strength of materials, or it could be in the first class on structures.  For some tracks, you get both, so hear it twice.

As for your Oshawa plant, yes, Canadian news is reporting that one, seems to be ignoring the other ones in the same announcement from parent company that lists 4 plants in the USA getting the same fate.

You seem to be implying that the $3.5B bailout
that the taxpayer got hosed for, is no big deal in
your universe.

Ok, how about you personally write a check to
the Receiver General for $3.5B to make up the
shortfall?
