When photons hit photovoltaic cells they eject electrons, that go through some wires and some electronics and then move the charge around the cathode and anode of the battery in your BES or EV.

Please expound...

You have a nuclear reactor at home?

Come on now, you know he's got sun and a roof full of solar panels to charge his EV at night when he gets home from work.

I'm just wondering who these people are with a gasoline refinery in their back yard, I guess everyone here lives in Port Arthur.

At the rate of $66 per hour, I'd support a pay cut, not a raise.

When will they realize they can design and sell the unassembled new cars as modular kits? The customer can assemble the vehicles and skip the union labor cost. I'm positive there would be a market if the kit is half the cost of fully assembled.

Or they can have a for hire home assembly team that does it for you after the kit is delivered, non-unionized independent contractors of course.

It works until it doesn't. See the move of many of manufacturers to non-union states


Yes, but the NLRB has now changed the way unions can be formed, almost guaranteeing that the plants in those states will be unionized.

The manufacturers will have to offshore, which means loss of jobs.


Go tour the Toyota plant in San Antonio (Oh wait , they quit allowing tours during COVID and have yet to resume). Jobs that decades ago were done by 6 guys are now done by two guys and a machine because it goes faster and the QC is better.

Just recently bought a new car for $45K. I'm glad I did now since I think that will seem like a steal very soon.

The big 3 aren't going to budge. They have been preparing for this for months.
I heard one theory about this being part of the reason behind the increasing stock (and stubbornly high prices) on dealer lots in recent months - auto makers running at higher rates of production to build up inventory that will carry them past a protracted strike.

The UAW is determined to test the colloquialism FAFO. We'll see what happens.

How exactly are you generating your own energy at home?

1) let them strike

2) when they strike, hire temporary replacements...paying them the current rate/benefits or less.

3) let them get the plant going and when there's little to no difference in production volume or quality, announce they're permanent replacements. While laughing at the union.

4) unions have outlived their usefulness and need.

Yes, but the federal government isn't going to let any of these companies go under. Too big to fail in their eyes.

I assume the GM commercials playing during NFL games depicting their happy workers are related to the impending strike

Labor unions are short sighted. The dumbasses always choose short-term greed over long term viability. Get a pay increase today, then lose your job to automation or plant relocation tomorrow. Idiots ran off almost all of the good paying skilled blue collar jobs in the town where I was born. Not much to do there now but make a long commute into St. Louis or cook meth.

This is like my neighbors voting for everything under the sun in Austin that costs money and then lamenting on neighborhood message boards about high taxes.

This deal is supported by the Biden administration, who at the same time says they want to get inflation under control.
The Biden administration wants everyone to use public transportation and make vehicles unaffordable.
They know exactly what they are doing.

So we'll see $150k F150 King Ranch Editions soon? Available financing for 240 months
The King Ranch F-150's are now over $110K. If the UAW demands are met, no one will be able to afford even the cheapest of vehicles.

This. Destroy the demand for oil and you will destroy the industry.
