Bill GreenRUDD SHOWS LACK OF CLIMATE CHANGE CULTURE
December 7th 2008 00:48
Prime Minister Rudd shows his climate change ignorance as he hands out his $2 billion dollars to new and used car dealers. If they hadn't got the $2 billion a third of them would have disappeared. How great that would have been. I've been ripped off twice by used car dealers . One of my purchases had an oversized wheel and the tyre blew on a rough road. Another dealer registered a car in my name despite a clause saying the contract rested on the concurrence of another party. I did win that one, after some sharp bickering.
BUT HEY, THE REAL REASON THEY SHOULDN'T BE HELPED (AS I'VE POSTED BEFORE) IS THAT THEIR INDUSTRY IS DEDICATED TO CHANGING THE CLIMATE.
These are ALSO the mob who have upped our cost of living alarmingly by selling us bloody cars that have a built in decay date (usually three years but it can be three days). They're a little like real estate agents that are running around auction halls as urgers, and their operations are solely responsible for the subprime mortgage crisis. They showed the banks what suckers consumers are.
One real estate urger said to me, "Surely another five thousand dollars is okay for you." I told him to fuck off, and stopped bidding.
A used car dealer once said to me, "You can afford this?" "How do you know?" I asked. "Anyone could," he said. It happened to be a Mustang of Steve McQueen fame and I couldn't.
One used car dealer talked to me for a while and said, "We don't have anything worthwhile at the moment but leave me your number and I'll call you when I have." He did, eight months later, and several decades later I'm still driving it. I asked why he was so concerned. ":Well, I do it for everyone who lives in my suburb. If the cars stop the first person they call on is me."
Who do we call on to save the planet? I thought it was the government.
