Cynthia something.

So there's no bridge loan. Her question implies it's the fault of the UAW.

This was at the very end of tonight's broadcast in a segment she called Closing Arguments.

1. The UAW has been sold as just another group of liberal elites.
So bizarre.

2. They have already cut their pay
The Republicans want to destroy what's left of the unions so they are acting like unions members bring in $100,000 a year. She was just repeating Republican BS.

3. They already have!
Of course something as silly as truth should never sully modern "reporting".

10. Yep
They want things to get better but they turn against the ones in the same boat as them instead of the ones who are really running away with the loot. They figure nobody deserves to be better off than they are. Same thing happened in the 70s. Somebody has got to stand up for unions and a middle class standard of living, and in a damn hurry.

5. The meme is starting
They are going to place all the blame on the UAW. Fucking Republicans just want to destroy the unions.

6. This is the line of reasoning handed to the media by the
wife of senator Mitch McConnell-the Secretary or Labor...Elaine Chao. EVERYONE needs to say over and over-Mitch McConnell is anti labor (not anti union-anti labor-anti blue collar) because his wife has visciously and repeatedly depleted and cut workers protections.

Did anyone bother to ask THAT question??

11. Should the shareholders
agree to reduced dividends and stock value for the next twenty years, no matter what happens to the profitability of the company. They didn't ask that question either.
