Hmmmm: Japanese automakers suddenly making more lemons since nationalization of GM and Chrysler
June 30th, 2009
A curious trend considering the legendary quality control institutionalized in non-union Japanese transplants couldn’t possibly have. Just. Stopped. Working.
It’s like they just started cranking out the lemons.
Some recent examples: Toyota’s Prius has crap headlights. Honda’s Insight sucks. But Obama’s people’s car Chevy’s Volt? It’s gonna kick both their asses.
Don’t think for a minute that the hard earned record of marketplace success enjoyed by Japanese automakers over the decades– witnessed by millions of objective consumers — is immune from the extraordinary influence of a political-media machine mostly concerned with propagating the worst kinds of marketplace manipulation in the name of “Change”.
You know what’s also treasonous? The additional vehicle deaths caused by higher CAFE standards.
June 30th, 2009
Tom Maguire on Paul Krugman’s fine whine about deadly heat waves caused by climate change.
Heat is already the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the United States. More than 3,400 deaths between 1999 and 2003 were reported as resulting from exposure to excessive heat.
That is about 850 deaths per year. Each untimely death is tragic and Krugman is surely vexed that this number might rise. But by way of comparison, a 2002 study estimated that higher CAFE standards would put Americans in smaller cars and result in an additional 2,000 deaths per year; Krugman, as a party-line progressive, surely supports higher CAFE standards. I denounce Krugman as a traitor to the national highway system Not to mention as a traitor to the safety of my wife and kids.
Progressives like Krugman are willing to heartlessly sacrifice thousands of innocent lives to pursue “well meaning” policies that have little chance of producing realistic outcomes.
