Zeledyne Glass Plant

... formerly Ford Motor Company Glass, taken from my balcony, this afternoon.

They apparently still make glass for Ford vehicles, and the workers there are unsurprisingly unhappy with Bob Corker.

My neighborhood was built in the 1950s and 1960s as a suburb of Nashville; a neighborhood of modest brick ranch houses where middle-class union workers could make a life and a home for themselves and their families.  The streets are named after Ford vehicles of the era: Starliner, Thunderbird, Edsel, Galaxie, Capri. Marauder, Continental, Ranchero, Cougar.

Now, I know these guys making as much as $14/hour + benefits don't work nearly as hard as CEOs who make twice that per second. Making things with your hands, and being exposed to chemicals slightly more toxic then Liquid Paper is just not hard work, right?

It truly galls me to hear idiot wingers preach about how everyone not in the top 1% of income distribution is making too much money. Do you idiots not understand the concept of eating your seed corn?

UPDATE: Go look at CNN's graphic regarding the auto industry employment numbers. Greedy auto workers, indeed.
