Big business is disturbing. They abandon what made them, and America, great, which is innovation. They become stagnant, and resist change at all costs.
If Ford, GM, or any American automaker had gone full steam into greener autos, that company would be doing a heluva lot better right now.
As for me...I plan to drive my families two vehicles into the ground until I can replace them with something that I feel confident is a major step in the right direction.
if the US car manufacturers were smart (and they havent proven to be) that's where they should focus their energy. on green technology.
almost like starting from scratch - they are in the dumps anyway and here in canada where many of the vehicles are being built we would certainly welcome it!
Watching "Who Killed..." just pisses me off. The part where the guy invents an awesome car battery, and sells it to (I forget which) a company, and then it ends up being bought by an oil company, so they can shelve it...AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
the whole movie is pretty infuriating. and our good bud bushy makes a few appearances. and i read in researching this piece that a sequel is coming out soon.
I really liked (or was infuriated by, to be more specific) the facts in the movie. They did a good job of making their case(s).
But the presentation was NOT for me. It just seemed over the top and too melodramatic. The "car funeral" and people crying...it kind of turned me off to the movie, and I really only made it through it because I felt an obligation to the facts.
but was that set up by the film? or the owners?
No idea. I didn't dislike all of it. I liked when they stood outside of the place where the cars were held, and offered all that money to buy them. I liked that Mel Gibson looked strikingly similar to Karl Marx.
Just some of the weird drama...ugh. But that's me.
I dont know about anyone else, but the assasination of the, an, EV by the big 3 and oil barons is up there with the worst chapters in our history. And btw, props to the C4O peeps. As a whole, great work yall. Stay positive.
But...but...but...the free market is supposed to fix everything!!! Waaaaaaaaa.
