[Homestead] hyper v depr debate continues

Can't argue w/bankruptcy.  Effects will be widespread.  I'd bet a lot of government (local/state/federal) pensions are invested in their bonds and paper, not to mention other pension plans & mutual funds.  They should play the music "Wipe-out" in the background if they announce bankruptcy filings....


I basically haven't looked at new cars in 2 decades, so I don't know what is being put out now.  I do know I would never buy a Ford truck again, as mine has been a headache for the duration, as have been the Ford dealerships I've dealt with.  18 years later, discovered a tranny problem was actually a warranty item from about 1 year after I bought the truck, and I had the truck in constantly for tranny problems.  Ditto on other issues.  Another problem - I had the truck in numberous times - something wrong in the front end, none of the Ford dealers could find the problem.  Local NM mechanic found it in 5 mins,,,, a $40 part.  The list of issues is long.  If I hit the lotto, and if Toyota or whomever, makes a big enough truck/engine I switch in a heartbeat.  Although I rarely drive, and use my scooter whenever possible for local driving.  That actually is fun, and at 90-100mpg,,,  I like even better.

It's all BS.  All three companies make good trucks.  Ford makes one good car
of which I am aware (Fusion).  Let them (all 3) go Chap 11, refit to build
trucks and maybe one 2 or 3 total cars that could compete with the quality of
the forreign cars.  And, if workers want a Union , they need to dump UAW , and
start one without the financial and political corruption.  Some enitites are
just beyond help..................................
