Auto industry

Is full of a bunch of stupid fucks. Believing electric cars were the future. What a bunch of idiots follow the vision of a demented POTUS 46 because he declared the future of the car was electric.

Executives fell in line like a bunch of ducks seeing their mother after hatching from eggs.

It was a colossal disaster. Most
People don't want an electric piece of shit car. They want a car that is reliable, predictable and convenient. An electric car is none of those.

The only reasons people bought electric cars were to virtue signal the importance of the environment, get a tax payer subsidized incentive and to buy the latest new gizmo. They're not superior. Their inferior gimmicks. The environmental impact is realized in production and disposal. The regular car's environmental impact is realized in operation.

Whatever. It's a failed science experiment. BYD, Tesla, lucid, rivian, fisker. While technologically impressive, they're unaffordable, unprofitable pieces of shit. So much so most of them are on the brink of bankruptcy and extinction.

Tesla remains deceitfully relevant because Elon musk has assburgers and continues to pivot away from cars into solar power and humanoid robots. The cyber truck is a flop. Only Indians and eggheads drive the mainstream models.

Fuck the electric car.

What’s the difference?

What's the difference between white collar and blue collar? White collar people wash their hands after they pee. Blue collar wash their hands before.

Post office

Proof the government employs a bunch of shortsighted, low iq people? Look at the post office.

Bottom feeders. Missed opportunity to join the digital revolution in the late 80s and early 90s. A majority of postal depots still drive the Grumman LLV for last mile delivery.

The last LLV was made in 1994 and gets an estimated 8-10 miles per gallon of gasoline. Think about that for a minute. A government fleet that gets 8-10 mpg with the last in service date of 1994. The newest on is 32 years old.

The vehicle before that was a jeep and was in service from 1955 to 1984. In 1984 the technology was nearly 30 years old.

Just an example of the antiquated backward thinking of our government employees.

They missed boat of email. They could have revolutionized delivery by embracing electronic distribution They could have been Gmail. But they're not smart enough to embrace new technology or think beyond utilizing technology that is 30 years old.

The next mail delivery vehicle is an Oshkosh NGDV - next generation delivery vehicle. It's an either an electric powered or gas powered utilitarian vehicle looking like it was developed by Pixar for their latest superhero movie.

The first order was placed in 2022 for 50,000 vehicles. I don't think they were produced due to lawsuits regarding an unsatisfactory implementation and production of battery powered vehicles filed by a domestic enviroterrorist organization.

Just another government program that failed to launch due national infighting which delays progress. In the meantime let the postal employees drive 30 year old vehicles that are falling apart.

The rest of the world laughs at us. Do you like our new clothes? We are a country in decline. A third world shithole. Too blind and stupid to realize we are the laughing stock of the world as evidence of being unable to effectively replace a 30 year old mail delivery vehicle fleet with something modern, useful and safe.

This country sucks. The people who run it do too.

Embarrassment to the rest of the of the word. Maybe the launch is
The new vehicle was a Somali immigrant effort ripe with fraud.

Less is more

Minority in my own country

At work today I must of dealt with 50-75 people.  All except 5 spoke only spanish.  There is something wrong with that.  Why don't they speak english?  Because they're immigrants and they haven't assimilated into our culture.  Stay in your own country.

Then I was helping some ass clown and he goes - what are you doing here?  I work here.  No you don't.  You got white collar hands.  You haven't worked a day in your life.  Go fuck yourself, asshole.  Then he proceeded to tell me how patient and kind I was and that I shouldn't be doing this.  

At closing today I was informed by cash drawer was off my 100 dollars.  

This is my 3^rd week at this job.  My cash draw has been off more often than not because the cash handling policies at this company are awful.  Like WTF.  Who runs a business this way.

Earlier today my boss asked me how the day was going?  I said terrible.  Why?  Because I'm a minority in this country and I speak English.  He then says - I've been telling my boss that people working in this store need to be bilingual.  Well no shit.  So while I only speak English, the spanish girl was using all 4 computers helping 4 people and flip flopping among them.  While I stood there with my teeth in my mouth.

What a waste.

Things have changed

 Either the world has changed or me and my dad were some sort of anomaly.  Back in the 70s and 80s we used to fix our own cars at frequently visited auto parts stores.  We knew the people that worked a two of them name.  DIY car repair continued for us until the early 90s.  I again picked it up when I drove BMWs and again when I got my corvette.  Working on the corvette led me to Austin DIY shop where you could rent a bay and tools for an hourly rate.  The owner was reasonable and advertised on groupon.  Eventually he informed me that groupon redemptions costed money and he told me he would be happy to honor the groupon rate verbally without having money go through groupon.  Fair enough.

Now that my "rebound job" is working at an auto parts store.  Very few white people fix their own cars with the exception of enthusiasts and the few that enjoy maintaining their own machine.  Predominant customers are hispanic. They often prefer to deal with their own kind; would rather not deal with the gringo in the store.  Fine.  Assimilate with the new country and abandon the culture of the old.  That does not happen.

Anyway, it begs the questions....  were we poor?  Or were times different back then?  My ancestors taught me to try and fix something broken by yourself.  If successful, you save yourself the repair or replacement parts if successful.  If it's still broken after an attempted repair, then you spend the money to have it fixed.  I didn't perceive it as frugal behavior.  I viewed it was accepting the challenge to resurrect a dead item.  Everything is disposable now.  Or too complicated 

Here’s what we should do

Burn every one of our political institutions to the ground. DJT can take his America 250 celebration and shove it up his ass. There's nothing worth celebrating here. Move along.
