Overall, though, I agree with your sentiment, especially regarding public transportation and gas prices. I have no idea why it's so hard for people to use their brains, like most of the rest of the world, and realize that it's good to have a strong mass transit infrastructure.

That article asserts "The average GM assembly-line worker makes about $28 per hour."
I'm not disputing that, I do contend that's still more then the average wage for the average worker.
From the sources I've found the average wage is significantly less then $28 an hour. If the above is correct the average US worker earns close to half that of the average GM assembly-line worker earns. It doesn't seem right to me that people making less bail out workers making more.
