How is it that Ford has always done poorly with small cars, yet the Japanese have (historically...) done well. The problem is that domestic car manufacturers are too conservative. They build what will guarantee a profit today without putting any though into innovation.
Ford made a killing with the Tin Lizzy until they built the same damn car for 30 years. Did they really think the Model T would be successful forever? When the Big 3 do put "thought" into a project (e.g. outsourcing the design of the EV1 to Aerovironment), they don't have the nerve to back it.
As far as Oil companies, the issue isn't them making a ton of cash...it is them making all the cash. It's great when 1% of the population owns the vast majority of the wealth...when you are in that 1%. I think we went wrong when America became involved in the cold war.
Commie bad...Money good. oogah oogah.
The haves are wondering why the have nots are complaining. Gee, I don't know.
