It started as a whisper(NAFTA). Then it was a wooshing sound(GM plants built in countries without civil rights). Now it a full fledged hurricane howling/screaming. It's the sound of the jobs leaving Michigan. It's been a wonderful life getting a "cost of living" raise each and every year to keep up with inflation. Who would have ever thought that Americans would have to stand by and watch as our standard of health care and living would be lowered as big business people line their pockets and float away in their golden parachutes. All I can say is they better float away to some island somewhere because they will not be safe in America. Not to diminish the heartbreaking loss that the hurricanes bring, Michigan will become as broken as the southern states effected by the recent hurricanes. Insult is added to injury as the people who have silently hated the auto workers now throw stones at us. I'm safe because I have seen it coming for decades. I saw that GM could save billions by ripping off the people who have retired and the thousands that are just reaching retirement eligibility. My co-workers laughed when I told them what GM would do to us. They could not believe that the company would "rock their world" in such a way. I knew they would for the simple reason they could. Like the proverbial dog licking it's butt. I hope the execs have a bad taste in their mouth.
