“‘Free-market’ capitalism is ALL ABOUT externalizing costs (e.g. dumping waste in a public stream, etc.), because the only concern is the company’s shareholders, not the ‘commonwealth’—this is not a value judgment that is simply the system.
The only recourse the public has to control this built-in tendency is government—for which the primary function is to protect the common good (not very successfully at the moment).”

Bovine Scatology!!!!

Why is it that Socialist Nim-nuts can say things that are patent falsehoods, and get away with it? They always complain about free enterprise/capitialist systems and “externalizing” pollution.

Name the worst pollution cesspools in the World.

Russia, China, East Europe like Poland, Hungary Czech Rrepubic etc. All members of the former Socialist, Marxist, A$$wipe bloc, that he so fervently worships.

Nary a single western democracy. Could it be that when no one owns anything, then no one cares about any thing? Pollution seems endemic to marxist tyranies? Why?

Free enterprise and it’s decentralized husbandry of land and resources created the great cleanup. It has been going on for 200 hundred years and only accellerated after 1970. Where? In the western Democracies, where there is accountability.

The air, water and land is much, much, much, much,…. yada, yada, yada cleaner than in any of those Marxist hell holes.

And then Mr. Nimrod spouts his obviously, stupid and erroneous, idiocies, and yet no on calls him on it.

Dude. Do not believe the badly produced disinfo from the dropout school of trollology that created “Young Blood.” These type comments and their old school writers are the product of a small, out of touch group of cave dwellers living in darkness and hoping their pithy little remarks will discourage real people. They don’t. Young Blood and the anti-American trolls are actually CCP agents employed like Tokyo Rose was in the dark ages to try to “psyche” you out.

What’s truly laughable is they pour tons o’ dough into their fruitless little ventures and get ZERO results! Hee Hee! Talk about bad investments! These clowns throw money around, get nothing in return, and dig down for more money to throw out! If you’re looking for a low paying, unrewarding job… apply to become a CCP agent. Sure its cowardly, and waaay out of date – but you might like the donuts and sitting in the dark all day!

Ridiculous timing (leadership?)

Is a $50,000 + EREV Cadillac what GM needs to be planning right now? With not even one $40,000 Volt on the road . . . not for another 2 years?

GM continues to exhibit the mindset (regardless of what they say) that hybrids/electric cars are just novelties for brand badging. Not something that should be sold en masse.

Robert Lutz from January, 2004:
“And Lutz did concede that Toyota has won the public relations battle with the Prius, even if it followed a business strategy he does not endorse.

“For Toyota, it was a huge, huge, immeasurably valuable PR coup,” said Lutz. GM’s decision not to pursue a hybrid car “was a mistake from one aspect, and that’s public relations and catering to the environmental movement.” ”
