Am I more likely to buy a foreign car? Why? Because I know it is junk and am going to be swearing at it all the time...maybe it is more American to be swearing at a foreign car than an American made car?
I really don't like buying an American car and having nothing good to say about it. It feels anti-American! It also feels anti American to not get your money's worth.
But we have always bought American made.
But what if you know that it is going to be junk no matter what? It lessens your will to buy American?
So what happened?
Is the turbo standard of fuel efficiency not reliable? When you mount a turbo in the back side of an engine and it ultimately needs to get replaced that bill is going to be so high that you won't want to do it. And hence you opt for a new car? That cycle shouldn't be in place?
Is the turbo a product that couldn't rightly be engineered? Or were good men and women kept out of positions in this country that they belonged in; like engineering, the legal profession, finance, health care? By unfair barriers to entry? That engineer who gets the job got it to favoritism or nepotism? And he is just like the Doctor who paid a lot of money to go through med school, more than you and I could, and he doesn't want to do surgeries he wants to be on the golf course 4 out of 5 days?
The low level jobs given to those who could be imprinted by the minds of someone who they would then label a schizophrenic? And that imbecile employee is the happiest hillbilly on earth?
Yeah I would say both of the above are true.
So if I declare that is the problem, then how is that problem solved?
What if an American Engineer involved in any function of the automobile supply chain or manufacturing was only allowed to buy an American car? And not a stripped down version from decades ago. A new one. You can only drive the car that you helped design. No foreign cars in that auto plant parking lot. None at your house on the lake either.
So it is like foreign competition is failing the United States mfg process? And perhaps the instance of foreigners here themselves?
When you see a group of foreigners populate an area. And then own all the expensive homes in that area. Do you ask yourself if they were doing business fairly with the rest of us? I do. Do you ask yourself if they were fair with the rest of us in the school system? Did they falsely grade us? Did they have bias against us? I know it is true. Did they create negative expectations for us so that their depressed and miserable spawn could feel like they were special? Without a doubt.

I don't care if Trump wants foreign tariffs. Conceptually I am fine with it. There is no way to assert the quality of metallurgy that is being produced by foreign auto makers. The advertising would make you believe they are the equivalent. But for all you know it is junk metal. (When we ship them scrap metal that is what we get back? Bearings that won't last and dentable vices?
But the flipside of all that is if you had to buy an American Auto part you would be paying Military Contractor rates for it. And there would also be a scarcity. And a whole bunch of other reasons for a high price that you won't like. Basically, the insecure all around us don't like your mobility. They don't like your humanity! They don't like the idea that you could use your own two hands to do work they will never be capable of. They don't like it that you can read and follow instructions. They don't like it that you can think for yourself, that you have free will. Yes indeed all the things the devil hates.
So I once heard a Catholic Priest say, Satan is all around us. Isn't that depressing? It is like when you hear someone say something and you want to say speak for yourself? When you hear someone say something that condones lesser behavior or being? Why condone the existence of it? Out of feeble nature. Same feeble nature in all of the above in this article. A blob of it here in this country. A sucking money pit!
And so they say that the cost of owning and maintaining a car is a big detriment to attaining wealth. So if you didn't want honest and good Americans to get ahead of the Johnsons, you would design and sell them money pit cars.
"Who can we get to engineer that car?"
"My cousin Wilbur says he wants to do that!"
"You tell him he is hired!"
