IMO, the UAW is the problem, not that I am against all unions, but it
has increased the price of the car to where they are not competitive
with other manufacturers. Here in the southern US, there are many, many
foreign manufacturers that are non-unionized and the workers still
make good money($20/hr or better) The plants have revitalized local
economies and they have treated the workers well, for the most part.
A cop here who makes $12 or $15/hr, or a teacher who starts at $25k, or
even that autoworker who makes $20, cannot afford to pay the jacked up
price of a Big 3 vehicle. That price is necessitated by paying those
workers $40-50 hour for the same job others are doing for $20.

The true significance of Sacajawea's involvement in the Lewis & Clark
expedition is that it was the first documented trip in history where men
asked a woman for directions and followed them, allowing them to arrive
at their destination.
