Comment on Animators Sue: “I Was Paid $3 An Hour!” by Anonymous:

“Cars today can go longer without tune ups and rebuilds but over all they don’t last as long as cars made before the 1970s.”

Older cars DIDN’T last longer and weren’t designed to either. The ones we still have running around are either restored, very well cared for, or were put away in storage. Believe me, nobody back then thought their car would ever be worth anything or else we’d have more of them saved. They just drove them until the cost to fix it exceeded the value much like we do with our modern cars.

“I highly doubt as many Honda accords and Ford Tauruses will end up lasting as long as many model T’s did.”

According to some old timers and enthusiasts, if you got 20-30,000 miles out of a Model T, it was ready for the scrap heap. A properly maintained modern Honda Accord can easily last half a million miles and still look and run almost new.

    Biofuel is made from unusable left-overs of an organic product. Let us look at ethanol, the current largest source of which is sugarcane. After the sugarcane is pressed and the juice obtained for further processing, one is left with essentially a flat piece of plant matter. The waste product is then left to ferment, after which it is processed again where the naturally occuring alcohol is removed, the waste matter is dried, and then used as combustible fuel for the distillation process. The end …

    Me, guy A, gets paid $8.50 an hour to make a car part. The guy(B) whose only job is to put said part in the car gets paid twice what I do. The fucker who transports the car (guy C) to be sold makes twice what guy B does. The guy who actually sells the car, guy D, gets paid twice what guy C does. And the fucker sitting at the top of all these cars makes more in one day than guy A, B, C, and D’s annual wages, yet has zero to do with the creation of finished products. Without guy A, guys BCD and …

    Well … there were a few more steps than that (I work in macroeconomics). The U.S. Congress enacted legislation on the premise that home ownership was an unalloyed good (obviously not enough Star Trek fans: “too much of anything, Uhura … isn’t necessarily a good thing”), and the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered the target rate. There was suddenly a lot of money sloshing around the market, and U.S. government paper didn’t offer good returns. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) *seemed* to be a good …

    The wall street crash (if you want to call it that) wasn’t from capitalism. It was from government compulsion to lend to sub-prime borrowers. When you give money to people who can’t pay it back you loose that investment and create a bubble. If companies are cutting to many corners; it’s to keep up with the IRS’s stupid tax burdens and pay to conform to the pointless bureaucracies and federal regulations imposed by the U.S. government. It’s not capitalism. It’s crony capitalism.
