It is sadly not a satire article and comment section there has taken it quite seriously as well.

I would have posted an archive.org snapshot instead but the latter refuses to crawl the site due to pay wall restrictions.

Btw if anyone has ever driven around in an early 00s Yukon, there's a good chance that it was put together with bolts fabricated by a 13 year old.

Tbh it wouldn't surprise me, the part of ohio that some of my family lives in is filled with a bunch of mom and pop machine shops with contracts from surprisingly large companies.

I guess it's easy to grab the lowest bid when you're powered by the free labour of all the children in your extended family.
