Reflecting on various news and discoveries...

Do We Ever Get Tired of Being Right at This Blog?

Not much, and if we do, it may be just a ruse. Besides, it's hard to get tired when it's all so effortless...

Three stories to back that up, to wit:

1. This Cadillac Celestiq thing, like GM itself, is an utter failure. Again, that we are paying for.
2. Kawasaki has picked up the ball and is making a rideable robot.
3. Microsoft had 7000 Indian coders in India to simulate "A.I." for the gullible saps. And the scheme only failed because they were all called Muhammad and so they could never tell them apart! (We kid because we love.)

These were all anticipated here. So stay tuned for the news before the news. Or stay tuned for more wild speculation with a few shots in the dark that sometimes land. We aim to please.

Katy Perry in BS (Bezos Space)

Perry never even left the Manosphere in that recent publicity stunt where Katy and some other bimbos hags that could scare off a bugger's uncle supposedly got their astronaut stripes.

"Kennedy’s Explosive Comments"

Received a headline the other day: "Kennedy’s EXPLOSIVE comments," about Health and Human Services (HHS) in the USA, being a major player in the sex trafficking of children.

Maybe, but we're not seeing any explosion of awareness in the proles, or action being taken.

He had some other comments that suffered backlash.

The coordinated messaging was impossible to miss—talking heads across networks uniformly labeling him a “conspiracy theorist” and “danger to public health,” never once addressing his actual positions.

A reminder: Anyone using ad hom or other distractions automatically loses the argument.

Austin from Texas

Looks like this Morales/Austin Metcalfe "Austin from Texas" murder is faked, in yet another psyop to make whites look even more cucked than they are, and thereby project weakness to the blacks. Geek/cuck "father" lashed out at those critical of the murderer: "You're trying to create more race divide than bridging the gap. I do not condone anything you do." This is an identical M.O. to when a previous white was murdered and the father came out preaching "forgiveness," which would be the last thing on the mind of any normal, sane and moral person.

PIT Maneuvers/"Pitting"

Who are the goons lauding these "PIT stops" by cops?

Who sanctioned this type of action in the first place, and why is it being publicized as something great? Does no one learn anything? We were made aware long ago that since they have the plates, description of vehicle, etc., all that is necessary is to radio ahead and they can solve matters like these peacefully, setting up a roadblock or tracking the car until it stops, and avoiding potential carnage on the highway.

Comment Sections

Comment sections are often the most important parts of news websites. So, naturally, these big corporate sites have all shut theirs down. Good rule of thumb: don't go to news sites without comments sections — what are they trying to hide?

That's important. Any mainstream website without a comment section (or with a very censored one) is a scam. Why, with this technology, would you not have one? Especially if you're trying to get the real news out there. Often, commenters insights are invaluable.

Ancient Mayans

This is new. The Mayans themselves said that the temples were already there when they arrived. The sacrifices were done to please the builders and get them to come back!

Now that makes sense, as those bloodthirsty dodos couldn't build a damn thing themselves, but were just another cargo cult. The level of science to build those pyramids is fantastic, so of course primitives could never achieve anything like that. But they will resort to some brain-dead savagery to tempt their imagined gods. Ritual murder is indicative of a stunted, ignorant culture, not of thoughtful builders and philosophers.

Drones

This is cool.

Trump

Nice trick: Everything Trump does, under his legitimate powers, is being blocked by activist judges now, so that's another ruse to make him look like a crusader while nullifying any positive deeds. Even when "effective," it's just a token effort. Like Trump deporting... 56 illegals a day!

More on Crypto & the Bitcoin Scam

Was watching the show, "Hacks," where someone was lambasted for being in an Amway-type pyramid supplement-selling scheme. Yet nowhere do we see this kind of outing of Bitcoin, which is chilling. They're going balls to the wall with this scheme, and it indicates total corruption of this so-called society. Ego plays a part, "I'm smart! I must be smart because I understand Bitcoin and anyone who criticizes it doesn't, and is playing me for a fool!"

How the Scam Works/How Banks Control Everything

Interesting article by Michael Hudson that explains this giant money/power grab that is underway.

Private capital firms can borrow to take over a company (often by making an offer to buy all its stock from existing holders), by pledging the company itself as collateral. The result of this collateral-based lending is to steer bank credit into the real estate and financial markets.

Q.C. Farce

Is this how they're going to take the suckers? The Quantum Computing farce where they're saying they have some new super-chip, will be used as an excuse to say, "Oh noes! We lose all your bitcoin money! Quantum Computing take away when they use to hack your private key! Sorry, Sucker, I mean Good Friend!" To quote from the article, Is Google's Willow Processor A Threat To Bitcoin? by QTR's Fringe Finance: "This advancement positions Google as a leader in the quantum field, even as some experts believe commercial uses are still years away, likely around 2030." So, it has no uses but it's a great advancement! Lord-a-mighty, there's waaayyy more than one sucker born every minute.

Planned Destruction

Depressing that we're still paying government to pay farmers to destroy their crops, livestock, milk, etc., based on lying pretexts, while food prices are sky-high. There is something wrong with the human race, and it seems unsolvable.

Idiots Want More Taxes...???

You'd be surprised how many EU city folk support extremely high property taxes - I was surprised - there is a lack of available housing in the EU cities they argue, we have to tax the shit out of the owners and force them to sell to free up the properties...

No joke - your average EU city "liberal" thinks this is the best idea since sliced bread.

Car Crapola

But the Car-Restorer Man Is So Nice!

A plea for people to stop restoring old crap cars. They're conned into this "sentimental value" nonsense. Well, there's a con for every season, and, as they say, more than a sucker born every minute, and more than two to take him. The "nostalgic," "sentimental value" is just another concocted appeal to emotion and scam to pick the pockets of whacked-out spendthrifts.

There's no "sentimental value" left, when the whole thing is rebuilt with different parts, you gullible suckers!

A better idea is along these lines: Any vehicle with more than, say, $3000 in damage is hoisted up on the transport and shipped back to the factory to be stripped to scavenge all its working pieces. What's broken or iffy goes in the scrap heap for recycling. New parts go on where needed and the car may then be sold under a "reclaimed" title, with a slightly longer warranty than the same vehicle, new.

Outlandish Pricing

Have average incomes skyrocketed in the past years, since car prices have about doubled — or more? No, wages are about the same as they were years ago! This leads to a question that often crops up, "Why won't the auto-makers just give us what we want, a simple, bare-bones car at a cheap price?"

Well, it has to be said, every one of those they sell means a lost sale of an garish, gadget-laden, luxo-barge at a high price. That's one of the reasons the domestic car-makers were so reluctant to produce small cars starting back in the 60s and 70s, even when it was apparent that the VW Beetle and new compact Japanese makes were making great inroads. Also, people's talk is cheap, and they don't really want a piss-pot, it's simple as that, especially when their neighbors all are flaunting Mercedes and BMWs. (Plus, as we've noted in The Automotive Industry blog, the manufacturers deliberately dumb down the styling and comfort of the cheaper cars, unnecessarily, to punish the purchaser.)

But at current pittance wages, who is buying? Well, dopes gotta dope, and it looks like many folks are still buying due to loosened-up loan practices, of course, same as the problem seen with overpriced houses.

Tavares Is Gone!

They interviewed that dope, and he said he had done nothing wrong, wouldn't change a thing in a do-over! That clown isn't just a bumbler, he's literally an incompetent. Note that he may be able to function, wipe his buttocks, drive a car without training wheels, feed himself, but he's unsuited for a role in the realm of his supposed profession, which is a hard pill to swallow. Just as there are "idiot savants," good in one area, there are people that seem fine at their job, but are extremely bad in certain areas (that don't necessarily show up until the person is promoted), which is how Tavares got "Peter Principled" way beyond his abilities. It turns out that Elkann, the big big boss at Stellantis, is as rotten as Tavares according to reports, so don't expect too much improvement if you're a Chrysler fan.

What the bugger are they doing with their so-called "managing?" Now they're saying Tavares "sabotaged the company." Deliberate or not, that's what did happen, but blame the dysfunctional managerial system that allowed it in the first place. And not for the first or last time!

Starting in 1973-74, designers and planners worked on making minivans; but the program was rejected by upper management because GM and Ford didn’t have one. That confirmed Burt Bouwkamp’s view, which remained firm till his death in 2022, that Chrysler’s “strategy” was “to get 15 to 20% of market segments established by GM and Ford.”

— The (Failed) 1972 Effort to Fix Chrysler’s Product Strategy by David Zatz.

Some Strategies for the Dummies in Management

If you were Chrysler it would be easy to swell your customer base, you'd just work to scoop up everyone that was sick of Ford, and sick of G.M.

So simple, too, to fix your lousy product quality: You'd write into contract with auto workers a clause saying, "Listen, jerks, you have to stay and fix botches on your shift, and the botches of others on your shift if they screw up. No tolerance, not a wobble or flyspeck."

When your production slowed due to reduced demand, you'd slow down the line, take your time, and then pull a car off the line and run extensive tests on it, and see how it differed from one assembled on a faster line, and make changes accordingly, all in the name of improved quality.

Here's an easy one for everyone. Have a map, be it on the computer or on the wall, daily or hourly updated with whether sales at each dealership are up or down, relative to last year at this time, and so on. This would be compared to the showings at competitors' dealerships, for immediate trouble-spotting.

You'd challenge your managers and VPs to come up with new ideas.

You'd have interaction between the line assemblers and the engineers and designers.

Did Guido at Stellantis/Chrysler have any spreadsheets, tables, charts, formulas, etc., justifying every decision, or did he just prance around making "appearances," and "press releases" and speeches?

Hopefully by now, people see there's something desperately wrong. A CEO or executive is a weird sort of leech, not a production expert or asset. Same with the rest of management. Except for a few, they're simply insiders who preposterously fancied themselves as captains of industry, something stockholders should take note of and try to fix.

Now, with impunity, they travel down the exact same road of mismanagement, arrogance and incompetence, and they really are incompetent. It seemed that, oh, maybe they're just following a deliberate script of destruction. If you recall, they've decided they don't really want people having the freedom and independence provided by cars. But now that Stellantis has buggered itself, really buggered itself this time, they are scrambling to get back in the game, firing Guido, calling Tim Kiniskis back, promising earlier release of actual Dodge Chargers with engines, not just battery-electric motors.

So, deliberate self-sabotage, or stupidity? It's tough to believe, but some of these businesses literally don't know what they're doing. Computing confuses them desperately. In fact, many businesses I've worked at do not employ computers properly. There are places where they didn't even know what their reports were supposed to report on. Most don't have a proper protection strategy for failures. There are, however, a lot of people walking around trying to look important, and often little real productive work being done. Which we already know, from the 80/20 rule (80% of the work is done by 20% of the people).

A lot of people are very good at BS, though, and can maneuver into positions where they have no business to be, often even believing their own BS. The results are failed projects, endless waste and inevitable disaster.

In a rational world, screw-up businesses would be done and over, no going back. But in this topsy-turvy system, they'll beg the governments for handouts, and get them.

Another Horror from the Goons at Stellantis:

Footnote: "Stellantis" (the Euroweenie corporation that owns Chrysler and Jeep) announced last week that they are putting an advertising app on the dashboard screens of their new cars later this year, because it'll generate $20M annual revenue for Stellantis. If it makes car buyers angry, tough shyt: The Corporation comes first.

About That Celestiq

The automotive industry has been a source of endless screw-ups and bad management lately. Cadillac Celestiq still is not available and still garbage, with only one (1) Celestiq delivered as of February 2025, according to Driving.ca. Remember, they touted high aspirations to sell 500/year, then that dropped to 350, but "they were all sold out." Then the truth comes a-knockin' and they don't even have orders for 25!!!

For those who are wondering, why the emphasis on the Celestiq? it's because it is an important case study. If you have any interest in business or management, it's an ongoing train wreck that exemplifies the disaster that is modern management, particularly thieving General Morons who will be back to pick our pockets any time now, if they aren't already doing it secretly.

A.I.

As a replacement for jobs, no. As an excuse to replace jobs, yes. Don't know if this is clear enough yet, but it's a continual battle for our manipulators to keep unemployment high, and therefore the peons humbled, in their place, at low wages. It's a strategy, not an inevitability.

One writer's message turned up in my inbox the other day, lamenting that A.I. is going to ruin lives. Woe is me! No one will have anything to do, since the robots will do it all. I thought this guy was more sensible but looks like he traipses about with Sammy Davis Jr. in Candyland. (If you don't get this dated reference, ah, never mind.)

As this blog has tried to emphasize, there are a few salient points. Robots are nowhere near that advanced, as should be obvious, just from looking around and seeing... nothing. If you go to a factory in China, sure, but they're just advanced tools. But, supposing (and this is a hundred years in the future sort of supposition) we did have such beasts that could do all our work for us. First, there would be work in the robotics industry itself.

Next, understand, there's no limit to what people want and could use. There is no end to the tasks we could do, like cleaning up polluted areas, designing things, experimenting with things (a really big one). There would be a great flux of building and consuming, making cities great, optimizing transportation, exploration... Only a small-minded perspective thinks of a great advancement as a problem instead of a boon. To the next point, the robots can't and won't think, so, again, they aren't going to displace humans, except maybe the dopiest, heh.

That writer laments that government will use this as an excuse to expand the welfare state, having to pay people since they'll be out of work. Again, the limited mindset. There'd be no need for money, since you'd just go and take what you needed if there were unlimited production. But, barring that, we've already explained that the equitable distribution of the wealth that rightfully belongs to all citizens is the way to go about supporting the populace.
