You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|American journalist))
((More citations needed|date=October 2023))
'''Jerry Flint''' (June 20, 1931 – August 7, 2010) was a senior automotive editor for ''[[Forbes]]'' magazine, continuing as a columnist from his official retirement in 1996 until his death. Flint also wrote articles for a variety of media, including Ward's AutoWorld, with whom he continued until his death, from a stroke on August 7, 2010. 

==Early life and career==
Of Polish Jewish descent, Flint was born in a working-class neighborhood, in Detroit, on June 20, 1931, a time when the Great Depression had sunk so deep he and family would walk miles to the Fisher Theater, for a film, hoping to save a few nickels on streetcar fares.  He was educated at what was then Detroit's city college but is now Wayne State University.  He finally saw the world beyond as an Army intelligence officer, stationed in Herzogenaurach, Germany, starting in 1953.

Upon his return, Flint entered journalism.  By 1958 he was working first in Chicago and then Detroit for ''The Wall Street Journal''.  In 1967 he went to work for ''The New York Times'' in Detroit and became Detroit bureau chief.  He moved to New York with the ''Times'' and remained there until 1979, when he moved to Forbes as Washington bureau chief.   Flint returned to New York with Forbes and again covered the auto industry. Retiring from Forbes editorial staff in 1996, at the age of 65, he continued as a columnist (Backseat Driver) and contributor until his death on August 7, 2010.

Flint won the [[Gerald Loeb Award]] for Commentary in 2003.<ref>((Cite web |url=https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/media-relations/2003/2003-loeb-awards |title=2003 Loeb Awards |date=July 1, 2003 |website=[[UCLA Anderson School of Management]] |access-date=February 1, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190412193205/https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/media-relations/2003/2003-loeb-awards |archive-date=April 12, 2019 |url-status=dead ))</ref> The Journal of Financial Reporting named him one 100 most prominent business reporters of the 20th century.  Among the honors he was most proud of, however, was being chosen as one of the 40 finalists for NASA's Journalist in Space program.  The program was canceled following the explosion that destroyed the shuttle Challenger.

Flint also served as President of the International Motor Press Association.

==Legacy Costs Insights==
He was one of the earliest automotive writers to discuss the looming legacy cost crisis for [[General Motors Corporation|GM]] and [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]]. In this article, Flint proposed the controversial measure of taxing all U.S. auto sales in order to fund legacy healthcare and pension costs for GM, Ford and [[Chrysler]] workers. He premised this proposal on the idea that, in bankruptcy, the United States public would have to pay these costs anyway due to the American government's pension guaranty program.
