I don't get this.
Why is it that we are grounding all of our future shuttle missions and putting the major goal and reason for NASA on hold to have them review what the hell's the matter with a FOREIGN AUTOMAKER? Shouldn't we be trying to stabilize our economy here in this country by being innovative and providing incentives for our companies to get ahead? Maybe subsidizing technology advancements for our companies as opposed to theirs? Maybe providing tax incentives strictly to American made products? Maybe actually holding these P.O.S. products coming in to the same standards as products manufactured here? Ohhh but who am I actually kidding? Like we manufacture anything here anymore...
Yeah maybe it's time for a little protectionism...
This country can no longer afford to play games as it has in the past choosing to be "free & fair" as opposed to competitive when it comes to our imports & exports policies. Countries seem to have no problem upping their tariffs on our exported products being imported into their countries but here in the United States we collect more in tariff revenue on import sneakers than we do on automobiles. In fact in recent administrations our government seems to like to give foreign automakers free handouts, while pounding down our car industry, for the "controversial" bailouts of a previous year. Yeah if only companies like GM & Chrysler were banks...
So you can kind of see my frustration when I read a headline that involves the National Aeronautics and Space Administration being put on shit-detail duty to try and figure out what the Japanese have been trying to cover up since the beginning. No longer will the people that brought us such ingenuity and breakthrough technology for transportation, medicine, daily life, etc., be in the business of innovation.
Meanwhile in India...
Funny thing was that I thought Ford had that corner of the spontaneous combustion market covered.
I can imagine calling their help line when these pieces of shit start hitting the US roadways.
"Thank you for calling TATA help line! This is Agni speaking...
"Hi my car just bursted into flames in my garage!"
"Oh well sir I'm sorry to hear that but have you attempted to turn off the engine and restart the ignition?"
"I'm not in it OH MY GOD it's spreading to my house!!!!"
"Now sir there is no need to get angry I am just trying to help. Try checking to see if any lights are coming on the dashboard..."
Oh if we weren't so screwed in this country this could actually be hilarious...
Until next time,
Peace & Love & Flaming Tatas...
