Fool's Protection Program

My Goddess!  Have we reached the point where there are enough short-sighted consumers willing to give up their hard earned money to purchase and own a gas guzzling monstrosity because General Motors is guaranteeing that they will only pay $1.99 per gallon for one year? Are we so fearful of rising gas prices that this cheap marketing ploy can eliminate the last vestiges of common sense people might still retain?

I give thanks that this so called "Fuel Protection Program"is slated to end on July 5th. This "help America stay addicted" program is nothing more than another example of corporations reaping the benefits of short-term consumerism and leaving the long-term impacts to the members of the Earth congregation.  If you don't believe me just connect-the-dots on this one company, General Motors, a company that states on its web site that it wants to protect the environment and help drivers save money every time they fill up.

This same company is cutting tens of thousands of jobs that will leave cities in the United States and Canada devastated.  The workers leaving GM have to  give up their right to pensions and health care in retirement before the buyout packages take effect. This means that the working class in these communities will have to find another way to pay for food, shelter and health care. And for the workers who invested their best years with General Motors believing that the company would honor its agreements and provide for them in their retirement GM has other plans, among them cutting health plans for retirees.   

But this news was great for the investor class, the small percentage of Americans who make money off of layoffs and outsourcing.  These people drive the gas guzzlers without worry about the cost of gas, or the impacts on the environment.  They respond to the GM announcement of such drastic cuts by driving the stock price higher. Just after GM made these announcements the stock actually increased in value.

This is a fool-based economy where the working class refuses to act in their own best interests and instead gets hoodwinked into believing that companies like General Motors really have their best interests in mind.  While GM states that it is just a "communication problem" the facts speak for themselves.  Until the working class understands that a corporation's only requirement is to make money they will continue to be fooled again and again.

Pretty much nothing seems worth doing. I've just been letting everything happen without me these days. I've just been sitting around waiting for something to happen, but whatever.
