Free PCs Not AfFordable

A lot of people pointed out that the United Auto Workers union was the driving force (ha-ha) behind this program initially.

    I think Ford can re-tool all of their plants right now if it wasn't for the auto unions. Re-tooling plants for full automation will greatly decrease the number of workers needed, and cut the unions' power. So of course they would be against it and threaten to strike.

    So we are left overpaying for our cars to keep an out of date organization alive.
