Its not seething hatred so much as fear.
I have worked in the plants and when the competition becomes what we thought 'unfair'
-I can't live on rice
-I can't live the wages they make etc etc,
We got angry ,it was a helpless feeling because it was a threat to our families and our ability to provide.
So you get these lashing out at 'them' , does not matter who. Now it might be Ford it used to be the asian companies now korean who knows.
We would grasp at any argument and complain bitterly,I dare say I have made posts 10 years ago just like Don's.
Now that I am retired and not directly threatened I can see his point and reasons from the outside.
So post on Don- I understand- but will correct the odd mistake I think you might make.
