Foreign cars

Funny how we ever made it to the 70s. I guess until all those quality foreign products flooded our markets, we just had junk US products and life was just terrible. I mean I hate how an Electrolux vacuum cleaner lasted 35 years and now those dirt devils made in china last 4.

Now we are at the pinnacle of our existence. Because of foreign auto influence, American cars last way longer than they ever did. Right?

Now US cars last 20 years rather than 10. Or do they still last the same duration (10) years but just have 10 fold the complexity and 10x price? How have we benefited from foreign autos again? How long is one of them Nissan Titans going to last? Oh they are going to out last us all.

The only thing that has happened is the population is ten times higher, cars cost ten times more, and people drive twice as far as they used to. Nothing else changed. Everything that has changed is simply relative to population increase. Oh except US factories are mostly overseas now and foreigners own half our country. Everyone I know who worked in a factory, lost their job at every factory across the country. Most companies went bankrupt and couldn't pay the retirement they had accrued for 20 years. Great. Progress is really good.

The mentality that we need all this foreign influence is the same mental platform encouraging us to lose dedication to our countries' productivity.

The concept of buy American has volumes of meaning pointing towards bringing this country to a higher level of achievement, productivity, sustenance and continuity.

So, buy American.

Nissan got into the full size truck market late. It's not their strength. They are fighting against what American automakers do best. American automakers got into the small car game late. It wasn't their strength. Now they have to fight against the competition at what the competition does best.

The Japanese were the underdogs when they brought small cars to the market. The big 3 dominated car sales. It was only within the last 10 years that Toyota and VW moved to the top of the list doing the things that they do well...building small, economical cars. The American automakers had the same opportunities, but underestimated their competition...a sign of arrogance and not adapting to the competition. Now the American automakers need to do what the import automakers had to do 40 years ago and win the business. Nothing will be handed to them. You have to work in this country to receive.
