UAW members are feeling pretty damn good, right now. They have every reason to feel that way. Under the leadership of their president, Shawn Fain, they stood up to the Big Three and won big time. And then, as the cherry on top, Toyota suddenly hands out some big raises even though their workers aren't unionized. Not yet, anyway. And you can see that the membership loves Fain and his take no bullshit approach. In fact, a couple of members were feeling so happy that they made a song parody of Carly Simon's hit You're So Vain.

Congrats to the members of the UAW. Keep up the good work.
