i really don’t want people to lose their jobs or the economy to erode further into nothingness. however, i think corporate welfare is not the answer. the big three u.s. auto manufacturers had every chance in the world to make themselves profitable. in the world of business, you either sink or swim, but you don’t get a life preserver handed to you after you shackled weights to your ankles.
i can’t remember where i read it, but someone said that the best resolution to this scenario would be to give the bailout money to toyota or honda and have them buy out all three of the u.s. companies and then either manufacture their own cars or restructure the companies so they are profitable again. i thought that was probably the best idea ever.
the ceos of these three auto makers say that the rough turn in the economy is why they need the bailout money. great, except that everyone is hurting, and these three companies have been headed toward ruin for a long time now. it wasn’t an overnight economic meltdown that caused this. and no matter how you want to look at things, no amount of money is going to get people buying the amount of new cars they need to be bought. i don’t think these gigantic corporations will be able to stay afloat at all in these dismal times. bailout or not.
i just love these congressional hearings where the fat cat ceos are begging for money. they are like homeless people at a street corner, only they fly in private jets or drive hybrids.
these are interesting times for businesses. we get to see just how bulletproof they really aren’t.
look i cant be bothered with punctuation or uppercase cause im so lazy in fact youre just lucky i bother to write anything at all so bow to my wit in text form actually this is my own unique style no one else writes this way cause im pretty cool like that
are you saying this as if you are me? like sarcasm? because i’m wondering when i don’t use correct punctuation. or are you just being yourself? because that’s cool, too. maybe you should post a link to your blog, so i can read it. or are you too lazy for that as well?
what are all those funny dots and and curved lines in your blog then? i always thought those things were considered punctuation marks.
How can dr. pepper be number on your hate list? Thats like the best pop ever.
didn’t you read the post about how they said they’d give everyone free dr. pepper and then for the whole time you could register for your coupon, their servers were down/slow/fried?
just because i hate them doesn’t mean that i don’t still drink it.
and it’s “soda,” not “pop.” are you from the midwest or something?
oh yes now I remember. I forgot and I was a little confused to see it as number one.
