Volume XI: Continual WTF

American consumerism(capitalism) is not dead. Don't be fooled by the news reports. People are buying as shown by closing announcement made by KB stores on Friday. KB toys stores all over America were mad houses. Seas of people crawling all over each other to get the super liquidating sales of 20-50% off. The insanity has continued through the weekend showing that American shoppers are cheap not dead. you've been tracking that Hanna Montana Doll on EBay just go to KB and get it. It will get you outside and into the shopping holiday experience. So its a cheap Xmas(Holiday) this year and that's okay. If those luxury items have to be sold for a little cheaper this year to break even, so be it. Plus if Americans actually start to look at prices as oppose to slick marketing campaigns then we will have a smarter nation. A nation that knows that taking a jet one week and a hybrid the next does not make you a better person, it makes you a PR stunt.

Man oh man can the big 3 be any stupider. Not only are they the sinister CEOs we all thought, they are also completely idiots. "I drove a hybrid this week can I have 34 million instead of 25 million." Good God! When did decency and trust get lost to dollars and cents (I am guessing a long time). None of the Big 3 (& modern CEOs in general) have built an institution for the American economy. What they have built are heartless global machines that not even the Maytag man can fix. If the Big 3 thought in the last few years about American workers they could have kept their pyramid scheme. (Big 3: "I'll work for a dollar a year if I can keep my job."-a dollar a year you made to much money off of the blue collar backs, your out.) Instead the Big 3 will get money from the government to keep alive a business that hasn't helped the American people and will put most of its work force onto the streets. Why not skip giving these huge sums of money out to irresponsible companies and just give it to the blue collars that need it? What so bad with bailing out consumers that actually understand that now they have to save? Like everyone gets a month free of rent or mortgage payments. I bet in one month we cold all relax and breath for a moment. With this rejuvenation we could take on these problems together as a nation instead of the good old boys of the past.
