The Wages of Imprudence

Reprints can be obtained here

Allow me to explain: I sympathize with the plight of workers in such dear times, but I also understand the pressures dire circumstances impose on employers. I also comprehend the patent absurdity of combating inflation via wage increases, wherefore I find it difficult to accept the latest round of protests. Being underpaid is less-than-desirable, but it's still preferable to unemployment in a recession.

On the Cutting Edge of Automotive Technology

Reprints can be obtained here

Behold! Our Captains of the Automotive Industry continue to penetrate new technological frontiers. Soon, every American motor-carriage will run on taxpayer dollars and/or taxpayers, and the Republic will be populated by naught but car manufacturers and their union dead-weights.

Update: Sen. Dodd and company have voiced doubts that the planned $25 billion bailout will pass Congress "this year," so expect a long and difficult fight to secure the future of yet another unproductive, "too big to fail" sector of our crumbling economy.
