‘It is time for you to end your greed’.

Coming from Bernie Sanders. Oh the irony.

I also loved the statement from Joe Biden to the plant worker during his campaign when he said, I don't work for you.

I mean, one could look at our 30 something execs making millions and at the trajectory of the company and ask what value they’re adding… perhaps spread some more to the working level those designing and building the vehicles…

When the presidents salary is 400k a year and a CEO, staff, BODs of an auto company is millions we have a problem. Instead of them making the millions for the profits perhaps they should be using those profits to reinvest into the company and future products...

will be interesting if trump makes it to the picket line

remember when m.fields got slammed for being on a trump industrial committee? he didnt even do anything wrong but the association was enough to cause bad press

what a nightmare

those execs are earning at least some of their pay this week dealing with this stress; who are they going to offend if they get interviewed? it's like rolling the dice.

CEOs get these gigasalaries because governments limit competition in exchange for kickbacks.

Crony capitalism. Stakeholder capitalism. Fascism.

OOPS, Bernie Sanders: Direct ban on fossil fuels, EV equity, and new clean transit.

Wonder what that policy will do for the industry?

It is high time to cut CEO and all senior management salaries by 50%. They are very greedy and looting the company. 50% of them should be fired ASAP.

If Bernie were to say "EV's and ICE production should be driven by the customer." That might mean something... or Everyone should be able to afford a car in the future... there's some substance to that. Else click bait on the fire brand congressman's message that really didn't do anything.

sigh, is he offering anything else but sound bites?

‘It is time for you to end your greed’ - he is not wrong.

That’s silly. Everyone is greedy.
