this guy has some valid points, but he obviously has never worked and assembly line (neither have I but used to deliver to the factories), I personally would not have been able to keep up with the pace those guys usually have to keep, having been a truck driver (paid to sit on my butt and not kill anybody, not as easy as it sounds in the traffic we have these days) yes, maintenace people sit around alot (I am one now) but if everything is working we do not have much to do, where I work we do not play the game that some of the UAW types did, we do not "drag ass" so we can fix it on overtime, we fix it when it breaks, if management will let us buy the parts, which is a problem at times, Unless the problem affects the office tower, then its get the stuff now and fix it

I would have let the banks fail, since most of them would not have, just the big investment houses that do nothing but make money for rich people anyways
