I usually enjoy what you have to say, especially you seem to have a little broader perspective than some others. This comment of yours is bollocks, though. The idea that unions weren't humble enough and that's why manufacturing is gone is nonsense, as I suspect you know. Non-union manufacturing is gone, too, and the reason all of it is gone is twofold. One, automation worked its way through the system, and what used to take 50 people in a factory now takes five. Second, business waged a war that lasted decades and still continues to keep people from organizing, and once the trade barriers to overseas manufacturing went away, they figured that if they're paying two cents on the dollar in wages for what amounts to slave labor in a country that lets them dump paint thinner in the river, they can afford to pay a little trucking.
I'm a union member, and my union does things that make me shake my head occasionally, but my union dues are the best money I spend every month. History says that when more people were paying union dues, this country was one heck of a lot better off.
Again, I like your Olivers, you would be welcome in my home or at my table any time, and I wish you nothing but the best- but you're dead wrong about this.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
