Not Bankers: Good ol' fashioned class guilt.

If you had doubts on the quality of union-led manufacturing, doubt no more. They're even inept at shameless agitprop!



This isn't quite what the UAW envisioned: they were hoping to have some American flags waving, a weeping Indian, and a mournful John Williams score. That and a picture of Uncle Sam commanding us to support unions and buy victory bonds. And, if they could find one, a grubby faced boy staring at an empty bowl.

But you get the gist of the message: "Feel sorry for us and feel guilty that you make money working at a job with computers, and if that doesn't work we'll threaten economic armageddon if demands aren't met."

This is the kind of tactic that a delusional or corrupt leadership would think would work. And thaaat's why the Detroit 3 are going to declare bankruptcy.
