Boeing 787 Dreamliner Delayed Until 2010

Back to blog

Leave it to the unions to send what was once the largest Company in the world into the hands of Toyota. Someone took their eyes off the ball in the 70's with regard to quality...since then, the Japanese automakers won us over by keeping cars on the road driving instead of on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck because of "break-downs". AFter that, we NEVER recooped and b=never regained our stronghold. ALSO...we have had to deal with horrendous resale values on american cars for decades while the Japanese and European automakers keep high resales. Factor to it that the american car companies have to give away the farm just to get you to buy a car and if you walk in to a Mercedes, Toyota, BMW, Audi etc...they may move off the price a little...take it or leave it...the problem is, MOST STILL BUY IT.

unions are killing america

Unions and GREED are putting American companies in danger.

We had a need for unions back in the 30's, but in todays world economy we can no longer compete.

Boeing is now suffering and lets not forget the big 3.

I can only pray that unions can somehow go away.

Kimberly Castro, deputy business editor of U.S.News & World Report, takes a look at the luxe life, from fine wines and cars to high-end real estate and wealth management. Though no elitist, Kim does admit a fondness for a bold bottle of Scout's Honor from Venge Vineyards and satiating her wanderlust in Europe.
