Summary
The United Auto Workers strike. On Friday, nearly one in 10 unionized auto workers in the United States went on strike, deploying a new strategy to push Detroit's three major automakers into raising wages. The unions are striking simultaneously at General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis (owner of Chrysler) for the first time in history, hoping to negotiate higher wages at a profitable time in the industry. The strikes are happening at GM's assembly plant in Wentzville, MO, Ford's assembly and paint plant in Wayne, MI, and Stellantis' assembly plant in Toledo, OH.

| 0:44.8 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, the place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. |
| 1:00.4 | I'm your host, Isaac Saul. |
| 1:02.6 | And before you jump in today, I want to quickly respond to some of the feedback on Friday's edition. |
| 1:10.0 | In case you missed it, we published a newsletter on Friday |
| 1:14.4 | in which I discussed the character letters that Ashton Coocher and Milakunis wrote on behalf of Danny |
| 1:21.4 | Masterson and I think in some ways took a position of defense for what Ashton and Mila did. I spoke a lot at length about how |

| 1:46.3 | And it was tremendous. I mean, not just because some of it or a lot of it was positive. A lot of |
| 1:51.8 | it was positive. Most of it was overwhelmingly positive. But also because even the people who |
| 1:57.0 | disagreed with me strongly did so in such a respectful way, I was frankly blown away, |
| 2:03.7 | really, really appreciative of the community that we're building that can deliver that kind |
| 2:09.0 | of critical feedback without being too over the top or personal and really using their |
| 2:15.8 | rational size of their brains to make an argument. So it was |
