Who is always in charge?
Why is that entity never to blame?
Why is the cure for the failure of of that entity an excuse to give them more money and power? Really really puzzling. The reason I need to write things like this is I’m getting worse at discussing them because it’s hard , really hard to get it across in person. I’m tired of being in MPG or environmental debates with people whose cars are less efficient than mine.
It’s a bS argument because it’s nowhere near as simple as they make it out to be. Let’s tax fuel more so people will use less of it. After all poor people don’t have cars ,fuck em. That’s not my experience with my less well off rural friends that can’t afford much in the way of efficient cars and end up driving the motoring dregs. Still it beats walking four miles to store or taking kid to sitter, dr etc.
Person is on min wage/ tips. Fuel prices = higher food prices say another 10-12 a week. That’s a couple of meals , few hours sitting or something useful that a person working 40-60 hours a week may want. Only ear thhis shit from people with jobs that could readily afford it.. you know I wouldn’t mind paying.. well fucking do so. Save $1 a gallon each time you fuel and donate it to something tangible to help the people ,you’re so eager to take money out their pockets , rather than hurting others to feel good about yourself. Sadly no we’ll take that money and give it to state to make the Soylent Wheels for our slow backslide into steam. I’ve driven a lot of cars made by nations rather than private companies and boy do they suck! Put it this way I’d not be surprised if they added in flotation devices as a requirement from the Senator from Massachusets.

I am sure that Henry Waxman truly believes he can run an auto company or any other company when, in truth, he only can run his mouth. One reason that Congress really wants this bailout is that people like Chris Dodd and Waxman want their chance to be acting CEOs and show everyone how to build “green cars.” Of course, anything which is built under their direction will be horrible, an overpriced and heavily subsidized piece of garbage that no people in their right minds would buy.
