LK, your concept of what is "proper" is certainly different than mine. However, if your real desire is to return home, take your pick of these fine Detroit homes awaiting your TLC :content:

First, thanks HH and LK for the entertaining conversation. I was half waiting for HH to start a post with "LK, you ignorant slut!"

 

Since you brought up Detroit HH, I was wondering if you were aware that Windsor, Ontario, just across the river from Detroit, is home to growing auto assembly factories. In fact, my new Lexus (oh, and thanks again for supporting that tax break for me) was made in Windsor. Now why do you suppose that is?? Union? Yep. Weak currency? Nope, Canuck-a-buck has been on the rise.

 

Gee, HH, ya think that maybe, just maybe, healthcare costs factor into it? That maybe auto manufacturers are happy to have Canada's "commie fucktard socialist" healthcare plan so much that they would move assembly jobs just across the river to Windsor? Ya think??

 

Tighten the latches on your bunker, and chew on that big boy!

Not taking sides against you, chap, but you would not know it from the BMW and Merk and Honda plants in the Southern US..... All less than 20 years old. And the BMW place in SC just announced plans to double in size. Which shoots your assumption all to hell.

I only saw RFuckstick's comment cuz it was included in your response.

 

The primary reason for U.S. vehicle companies producing cars and trucks in Canada has nothing to do with fringe benefits. It was due to a trade treaty entered into between Canda and the U.S. back in the 60's. It was a win-win for both Canadian workers and the U.S. auto industry. (My cousin made a small fortune due to this agreement. Not bad for a guy who dropped out of community college (or flunked out :content: ) and got involved in brokering Canadian-made truck parts.

 

The "win" for Canada was more and better-paying blue-collar jobs, access to U.S. made cars/models without paying high tariffs, and balancing it's trade imbalance with the U.S. The "win" for U.S. auto companies was dramatically increasing sales of it's products in Canada. It's capitalism at it's best. :content:

 

So don't be fooled (and I know you aren't) by someone's idea that this exchange has anything to do with health care. :banghead:

In the South, foreign auto plants are all non-union. So they don't have to provide UAW benefits, including their health insurance plans.

 

WRT the Canadian trade agreement, that is old news. What is not old news is how quickly medical costs have risen at US based UAW plants, and how it is still at zero in Canadian UAW plants. Worth close to $20k per worker in cost savings. So while Detroit dies on the vine, factories in Windsor continue to not only do well, but expand

 

I'd say "back to you HH", but I have obviously offended his California pension-sucking chicken shit ass, and he has put me on ignore. Gee, i am soooo offended.

Your logic behoves you Master HH.

 

Before our manufacturing base disappeared, the mining base disappeared. Have you ever run your logic on former miners and machinist?
