The Art Of The Scam.

Ever played three card Monty or watch it being played ?... Remember when you were a kid and a Hot Wheels commercial came on and you had to have that looping track . Remember way back and a McDonald's spot came on and it showed the Big Mac . I remember ! Remember the fun you had putting that Hot Wheels track together ? No ? Didn't work right eh . Hmm . Well how about that first taste of that Mac .MMM right ? No ? hmmm. "Damm it"! "What goes" ? That loop was shit and the cars went to fast and flew off the track ! "Maybe they slowed down the film in the commercial" . "Hmm ya maybe" . That Big Mac wasn't that BIG and it looked different too and it tasted like shit ! Nothing is what it seems and we're getting used to it . We're programmed to buy anything ! We have been this way since childhood . I work for a large multi-national company . This company started out with good intentions , I suppose . Now it's a different story... You know the commercial . Dad comes in he's never swung a hammer in his life and now he wants to build a tree house in that old maple tree out back . His son's brag'n him up "my Dad's the best Dad in the world Blahh blaah ..." You get the picture . Now Dad's a useless prick and the 'associate' at this store is gonna help . He gets everything for him and shows him "HOW TO DO IT" . "hint"! In the end Da-Da has built this castle in the sky ... The end happily ever after right ? No ? That doesn't happen ? What does happen then ? In real life your jammed into a box [store] and nobody has time or patience to hold your hand ! Ohh !... In real life building is a art . A learned art but still an art you can't be taught in a day . If your smart maybe years . That's the truth did I burst your bubble ? No ? Good read on ... I was told by a H. R. it doesn't matter what you sell as long as you sell it . "We sell widgets it doesn't matter ". She also said "I know nothing about the product and don't care to know ". "My job is to make sure you sell it "! Great piece of motivation huh ? Now the real topic , YOU ! What if I told you that Toyota & Honda aren't what they seem to be . Now don't get defensive yet . Guys and their cars . These car company's where in big trouble in the 80's . Toyota was next to bankrupt . Then along comes G.M. "Hey need some money "?" "Ok for the rights to build your cars in North America & South East Asia we'll give you some"[money] . Ford did the same for Mazda & Nissan [ they went tits up twice ] . Chrysler already had there hands into Misitubushi . "Now where to build these hunks of junk" G.M. was thinking . Idea ! "Cambridge we have a line of cars that aren't working out ". "Them Geo cars". "Lets make them there ". "Hmm"... "YES"... "If we change the plants to Toyotas we don't have to deal with the U.A.W. and better still the C.AW". I can hear it now a H.R. going to the plant manager . "It doesn't matter what we make as long as we sell it "! "Now make sure that the new 'associates' get a lower starting salary, start them @ $17.00 per hour , less is more you know" ! "Put the fear of God in them". "Say if they vote in a union we'll close the plant down"! "Now get out of my office you figure head piece of shit "! Well it probably didn't go that way but the net outcome is the same . Lower salaries for the working man larger profits for the Fat Cats . Now it has come to this . G.M.'s shrinking market share . Toyotas coming to the top . Hmm... What's wrong with this picture ? 3000 union jobs lost ! People believing they're driving a better car ! Also the fact G.M.'s building the largest plant in the world in ... China !!! What are they really doing ? Could it be that these car companies are union busting ! Hey that's illegal !!! If you drive a Corolla or a Mazda 3 what are you really driving ? Corolla has the old Saturn motor , transmission & a Opel sub frame. The Mazda is just a Ford Focus made in Mexico . Are you surprised ? No ? Then why would you buy a car that shrinks the average income ? You dunno do you ! Is it because Matt & Louise next door has one ? Or is it because the media tells you that" it's the car to buy" . "Snap out of it" !!! If we keep up this way of spending , buying things without thought we're done . " Chad & Missy just bought a Bemer but I am going with the Lexus "! Fuck Chad & Missy and FUCK YOU !!! I'm buying a car that's made in the U.S.A. or Canada and that supports a union ! That supports our way of life . That helps us retire younger and helps keep our children healthy . If we don't our future is bleak . We'll spend our way into a third world nation. A nation of have and have-nots . Like a game of three card Monty you can't win if you play. But you can stop it . Tell the guy or gal playing they're getting scamed . They might not believe you but you tried ! Sa Again Wallycrawler.
