Automobile

I was listening to Randi Roades with my wife, Shusli, as we were driving down the road the other day. She was talking about how the big three automakers had done all they could to destroy ideas of cars getting great gas mileage. The government was in collusion giving tax breaks to folks who bought huge SUV's. The oil biz was in it because more oil gets used and thus more billionaires make more money. Now, with world views changing rapidly, folks no longer see it as sensible to buy a huge gas guzzling big three machine when they can't afford the gas to put in it, despite the tax breaks. Gas guzzlers were making oil billionaires and auto manufacturers billions in short term gains.

I remembered reading years ago how automakers always worked to crush fuel effecient cars and transportation systems for their own personal gain. There used to be a trolley system here in Portland. It was fuel effecient and helped a lot of folks. A corporation bought it up, ran it into the ground, etc., so tire manufacturers, bus and car manufacturers, and oil companies could make gazillions in short term gains. Sure the folks suffer lightly to greatly because of the decisions of these greed heads, but who cares! The millionaires and billionaires are just fine and dandy and have lots of wealth, health care, food to eat, many roofs over their heads, etc., and we all know that is what really counts. Your health care doesn't count. Whether or not you can provide food for your family is YOUR PROBLEM AND FAULT, not the problem and fault of the wealthy who have stolen everything from you and blame your sorry ass.

I don't know about you folks, but I've been playing the moves over and over in my head, and I don't see any gains to be made by the wealthy anymore. I don't see that if the big three pull their heads out and make fuel effecient cars that their would be anyone to buy them. I don't see what giving billions to billionaires to do with as they will is gonna keep the folks from starving to death in the streets and stay warm and clothed in the winter. Does anybody have any idea how they might be able to pull this off, because I just am not seeing it? Folks keep saying that things are gonna turn back around in a year or so but no one tells me how this is gonna happen. I don't see how it can. Does anyone?
