BZZZT! WRONG. Just simply freakin' wrong. You'd boycott thousands of your fellow Americans making an honest living? Wish them unemployment? Foreclosure? Coal in their stockings? For what? Some sort of theological, lemming-like belief in "principle?" I have issues with both the former GM corporate management and the UAW, you can be sure of that. But I support the tens of thousands of men and women who show up on the line every day, the engineers who design some of the BEST cars on the road today (see: Corvette, ANY flavor of Cadillac, and Chevy/GMC trucks), and even obnoxious salesmen in the thousands of dealerships across the country. It's not like they're pimps, drug dealers or frickin' democrats (although some might be the latter).
Principle in a way. But having been in another overly union dominated environment I don't have much sympathy. I got it in Wichita as a direct result of the three stooges who are basically owned by unions. Corporate Aircraft suddenly became evil. Bail out? Not hardly. GM and Chrysler should have gone through the agony of bankruptcy and reorganization. It may have been better in the long run. And I am satisfied with the second hand Nissan Titan that I purchased almost three months ago.
