ParticipantChrysler and GM are now very likely gonna enter bankruptcy
My prediction: Ford will join the crowd in about a year. Their comparative cost structure will be so uneconomical when competing with the ones in BK, they will be forced into chapter 11. This is what has happened to airlines. They just keep entering and coming out of Chapter 11 without ever making much profit. Same fate for the “Big 3” as far as the eye can see or they go away.

ParticipantThe Case for Working With Your Hands
“…High-school shop-class programs were widely dismantled in the 1990s as educators prepared students to become “knowledge workers.” The imperative of the last 20 years to round up every warm body and send it to college, then to the cubicle, was tied to a vision of the future in which we somehow take leave of material reality and glide about in a pure information economy. This has not come to pass. To begin with, such work often feels more enervating than gliding. More fundamentally, now as ever, somebody has to actually do things: fix our cars, unclog our toilets, build our houses….”

ParticipantJob Fight: Immigrants vs. Locals
Tennessee Residents Compete for Work They Once Scorned; An All-Night Wait for Slaughterhouse Shifts
Hard times recently drew scores of locals and immigrants to a cold sidewalk in this town, where they spent an anxious night waiting to compete for jobs in a slaughterhouse.
Burmese refugee Cho Aye traveled 60 miles from Nashville on a Thursday morning in late March to take a place at the head of the line outside Shelbyville’s state employment office. The next day, the office was to take applications for $9.35-an-hour jobs processing chicken at the local Tyson Foods plant. Directly behind Ms. Aye, sitting on blankets atop the concrete, were 16 more Burmese refugees who had come from as far away as Idaho and Florida.
“I don’t mind doing any kind of work,” Ms. Aye, a petite 22-year-old, said that evening as she settled into a reclining beach chair she bought at Goodwill….
