Jimmy said put on a sweater if you are cold..Americans didn't like that so they voted Ronnie..

As far as stuff being made lessor..PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE..In the old days stuff was made to last and that meant you are not a customer again for decades.. That will not do!! To keep the Global Economy of Scale GROWING you need to be repeat customers..so the life span of a unit continues to be shorter..and made cheaper..where cost to replace is lessor than cost to fix..

To fuel that GROWTH you need customers with the where with all to BUY BUY BUY...The US Consumer went BUST in 08..the FED and US govt have been subsidizing the US econ since so the party could continue. The USA and world for that matter is BANKRUPT..and the wolves are tearing it apart.

You have had a lot of ABUNDANCE ON THE CREDIT CARD.

This goes to the HEART OF THE PROBLEM.. Americans and you Boyz in particular think this is a RICH NATION and that you can afford to have LUXURY APPLIANCES...this delusional state is what has caused the GREATEST NATION ON EARTH to go broke broke broke.



PS Last week Colbert had a segment about a Security expert being engaged for what he thought was going to be lecture...it turned out that his audience was 5 or 6 multi Billionaires ..name you would recognize...they each had their Get away Bunkers....where one even had retired SEAL TEAM guys on call... THEIR question was how do they protect themselves from their own security personnel?

That was the very thing I queried long ago..Caligula's own Praetorian Guard whacked him.. One day they would wake up and think they don't need you..Nobody is safe...
