Just popping in and out this morning - Bloomberg (@ 9:24 am) shows oil is up to $134.15/barrel. Only hour ago it was around $132.00. Looks like we're about to be taken for another ride.
Which reminds me - check out this PBS POV special from about 20 years ago:
Taken For A Ride
If you get it - it may shock or anger you (or maybe give ya the I don't give f**k attittude) - it's all about how the Big-3 conspired to destroy mass transit. Yes, the GM CEO of the times (30's, 40's & 50's) really wanted to make it so the only way to "see the USA" was in a Chevrolet.
Johnny Block's rag said today that production awards went to Power Train. Gosh! Being awarded for makin' more parts for gas-guzzlers?! ****
They ought be spanked instead.
Jeepster employees are waitin' fer their buy-outs too!
*** Update! Read the Rag too quick this morning - seems the production prize goes to the Jeepsters. But no matter -half a dozen of one or six of the other! It's all the same. Makin' anthin' to do with gas-guzzlers is the same as choppin' a hole in the bottom of a boat. Even if ya may put more gas (i.e. money) in the local economy by doing it - the spending the Jeepsters do just adds speed to it and makes the boat go down just that much faster. So no apologies for the misread - you all know what I meant anyway.
