I appologize for not writing lately. I started work with a new unit and i have been working my behind off. Anyway, i popped on USliberals.com today to see what crap they are spewing today, and the first article is about the big 3. I’d like to take some time to again point out the flaws in some of their arguements.
First of all i would like to preface this by saying: Yes, the big 3 were mismanaged. I agree that those CEOs need to be held accountable for their actions, but we’ll get to that later.
The article also drops that name bomb of Mitt Romney being the type of guy who would love the Big 3 to fail, because it would also mean the downfall of UAW (http://www.uaw.org/). This is obviously favorable since all republicans salivate at the dissolution of unions…OR NOT. Republicans love people working, keeping their money, having successful businesses and buying things which contribute to the economy. Oh i might mention yet again there is no evidence to support their claim.
Two paragraphs later: The failure of the companies is drawn to be similar to the iraq war? What? What the hell do those things have in common? Removing a dictator who murdered millions of people….failing auto companies…..mass genocide….bad management….i think they are pretty much ENTIRELY different. But the iraq war is linked to the republicans, so this is a rather desperate and lame attempt at linking the downfall of the american auto companies to republicans. I am offended as a soldier myself that i am being compared to an autoworker. Not that autoworkers are bad, but our jobs are entirely different and dependent on different things. Its like saying that forest rangers are similar to army rangers.
Another awesome claim: That the reason why we have giant cars and trucks with big suspensions is because automakers do it to make money! No no…they respond to market pressures and demand. So america started buying bigger cars…so they started making them! OH NO! “Supply…demand? UGH i was a poetry major at berkley i didnt have time for that economic mumba jibbery joo!” – unknown liberal hoser
If i took the time to dissect every thing that this crazy loon Debora White said, id bore the hell out of you. She claims that the government must punish the CEOs. Obviously yet again she knows jack about how corporations work. Ok look, these “corporations” have things called “investors”. Now these “investors” have an annual board in which they or their representative “votes” on things such as if the CEO should continue to be the CEO. But you wouldnt know that…cuz you were busy writing about how America is the great satan and should appologize to the world for its existence while being pounded in the ass by the likes of Iran and colombia. Choke yourself Debora…not with you hand! Mine!
I completely agree Kyle. The two comparisons between economic failure of auto companies and the war are complete BS. As an accounting student I understand what took the auto companies down and it was cost. People who don’t understand costs, in both the literal and figurative meanings. Big 3 CEO’s made the big cars and trucks because America asked for them. Good job listening to the needs of the market. But thats not the problem. When they had to cut costs they did it in the wrong areas like research and development for example, which is essential to any industry that relies on technology for a better product and growth. It cut the least expensive employees and kept the well paid, older, likely less productive guys/gals (now, thats a union issue and I don’t want to get into that now).
I would like to say however to them one big thank you for staying domestic (for the most part). They didn’t ship all of their operations over seas like other companies facing cost pressure.
But now we have to bail your asses out! You gave us the assembly line and one of the last industries where unions are still a powerful presence. However you are retrospecting all of that when we have to pipe tens of billions of dollars back into you because you couldn’t be innovative enough to see this coming.
I don’t want the industry to go down, I mean, its part of our culture almost, big trucks and SUV’s are pretty much staples in our culture, and in every other country song for that matter.
When (if, yeah right, this is now a majority Liberal nation, of course we will) bail your butts out, you better do it right this time. Take your $1 salary and make it last. Try buying an everlasting gobstobber from Willy Wonka, that will keep you full when you are back to the drawing board.
