A Keynesian Wet Dream: "700 Trillion Cars And Light Trucks Need Recalling"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/19/2011 14:06 -0400

And for today's fake press du jour release we go to Marketwatch which amusingly carries the following headline/story, which has since been rebroadcast by Bloomberg and other wire services:

700,000,000 Million Cars and Light Trucks Need Recalling

PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO, Sep 19, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Editors Note: There is a video associated with this Press Release.

Automotive engineers are sleeping at the wheel blinded by their own wipers.

Ring the Bells, Stop the Line, Re-Tool

Rodney Andrews, Ten Bridges Seven Churches No Stop Light is a series of grabbing stories of how small town people reach out and live the lives most people only dream of.

Follow Everett and Rose as they trigger the largest auto industry re-call.

Toyota, Honda, Ford, Hyundai and all car owners will be running to the parking lot to check out their car or truck to see if they are a victim. You can sit and read the predictions and watch class action law suits, litigation, and lawyers plug court rooms. Millions of dollars and thousands of lives are at stake. Killer cars can be fixed.

Yep. 700 trillion cars in need of recall. Paul Krugman just discovered tantric sex.

And yes, the algos totally fell for it. Note the volume surge at 10:13 PT as the PR hit:

700 trillion cars recalled = Krugman nocturnal emission. Had there been 700 trillion fatalities? Krugman says "even better."

Tantric sex, missionary style (for the Queen), or a Dirty Sanchez = Krugman doesn't care what kind, as long as it's stimulative.

He even doesn't mind HIV+, crabs, the clap or herpes pustules, as he's debauched whatever merit any portion of Keynesianism may have once had. He's just a cross-dressing, whacked out night walker in 4" stilettos looking to turn a fast fiatski-rewarded trick, jonesing for his next fix.

Krugman gets sick to his stomach any time anyone quotes this, so here goes (words from his hero):

J.M. Keynes on inflation in The Economic Consequences of the Peace (p. 235-6):

“Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth. Those to whom the system brings windfalls, beyond their deserts and even beyond their expectations or desires, become ‘profiteers,’ who are the object of the hatred of the bourgeoisie, whom the inflationism has impoverished, not less than of the proletariat. As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless; and the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery.”

Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”

Mon, 09/19/2011 - 14:57 | 1685576 Dr. Richard Head

No kidding. Too bad this particular quote is not known by all. The central bank and fractional reserve banking hand is what creates the inflation. I wonder what J6P thinks as the cause of inflation? Greedy corporations would be my guess.

Here is my favorite -

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

Do you know what else is a way to screw the masses besides currency devaluation? Set up a tax code that serves only one purpose: Being a game for Buffet, Kerry, Immelt, Steve Jobs, and your local gormet cupcake shop to "win" at.

The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that still carries any reward.

Then, with your reward, buy your solar panels from those dumb chinese who dont pursue worthwhile intelectual rewards! Put BDO on the GSA vendor list, not G.E.!

Mon, 09/19/2011 - 17:20 | 1686221 wisefool

It wasn't my day to watch them. And I do applogize for having a american centric view sometimes.

But isn't the problem with greece primarily that they refuse to pay the taxes and they refuse to give up thier services?

In america the people who use the most services pay the least taxes, or in some cases, receive money back from the government for the effort they put into not paying any taxes.

I admit that I am not as sophisticated as most here. But when I try to explain keynesian economics -- to even less sophisticated people -- the US tax code grants the simple baby step metaphor as follows:

If G.E. hires 1000 people to prepare its returns to avoid paying taxes, where does the government get the money from to pay somebody at the IRS to make sure those 1000 people filled out G.E.s tax forms right?

The answers typically are:

The wimpy (cartoon character) -- G.E. probably needed to take a loss this year but will pay the IRS reviewers next year to check the form for next year and last year.
The unknowing keynsian -- Well the government keeps money aside for that, and if they dont thats why we print money
The unknowing redistributionist -- They pay the IRS agents who review G.E.s form out of other peoples taxes that aren't working on as important of stuff as G.E. is.
The polyanna -- G.E. is honest. They dont need to be checked.
The deer in the headlights -- I dont know, but it is not that big of a deal.

The more sophisticated types typically answer as follows:

The MBA -- You do not understand management, start with hygine-motivator, call me back when you complete your online MBA (hee,hee). You have a job, and being a citizen is also a job, whether you applied for it or not.
The Central Planner -- You are not knowledgeable enough about macro trends, including demographics and technology
The Accountant -- Its about data. We need data. I dont know what they do with it, but I get paid to generate data.
The Socialologist -- There are cultural challenges that can only be addressed via subjective taxation. Your gonna carry that weight son.
The CEO (Romney) -- Corporations are people too. Some are just really poor people that need an earned income credit. Others are basically like a tax free charity, that instead of providing food and shelter they provide people a job to buy their own food and shelter from the company store.
Jeff Immelt -- You are an idiot. I hired 1000 people, their income taxes paid for the IRS reviewers to review the G.E. returns i.e their work product. I also hired lobbyists. I create jobs. you are an idiot who posts to the interenet. Romney might take you on as a charity case, but I don't run a place for low IQ types. Try a pet shelter.<-Best Answer
The Theologian -- Yeah, when religions tried to do this stuff they generally get "Reform-ation/atted" pretty quick, so we stay away from that stuff. So I dont know what to tell you kid. Check out what Huntsman did in Utah. And look on the bright side of life.

That's a lot of waste no matter how you put it. These cars ought to be recalled and hopefully they will be fixed in time to be put again in circulation. The truck manufacturer should better start working with an auto donations program to regain people's trust in these cars.

Clean flexible wiper blades are a bigger issue and while I don't consider it a safety issue I live in the NW and have been driving in the rain and wondered why they didn't reverse the throw of the wipers. It would work better.

Mon, 09/19/2011 - 14:19 | 1685477 Long-John-Silver

I'll tell them how to fix this cheap and easy. Install a small plastic lever on the right side wiper blade that lifts the blade off the windshield on the upswing and allows it to wipe on the downswing. Cost per vehicle is less than a Dollar.

Mon, 09/19/2011 - 14:25 | 1685505 bbq on whitehou...

I have a cheaper option: remove the windshield. See problem solved :P

Mon, 09/19/2011 - 14:53 | 1685607 Dr. Richard Head

One should break the windshield out in true Krugman fashion. This way the clean up associated with the broken glass would create new jobs in a variety of areas. First off, broken glass would likely escape to floor causing numerous automotive tires to be punctured. Someone would have to replace these tires or plug them minimally. Additionally, clean up crews would see a spike in employment, as much of this glass would have to be cleaned up. Finally, makers of vacuum cleaners would see a surge in purchases, while many who attempted to clean up their own glass without government approved clean-up crews would inevitably be faced with broken household vacuums. This is net-net positive. This entire process would allow for a growth in employment, as well as correcting a fatal error in windshield visibility.

I've actually noticed this myself and wondered why they dont build it the opposite way (much more noticeable with snow). Why would the inverse cost more money on new models? Obviously its cost-prohibitive on existing models and you can understand the logic. But on new models?

Mon, 09/19/2011 - 15:01 | 1685650 vib

If you think about it a little how water and snow would actually behave if the vipers were reversed you have the answer.

There would be a constant spot of water and snow on the top left portion of the windshield in front of you that would not be wiped away. The left viper now goes all the way to the corner cleaning it completely. In the cars that have steering wheel on the right the (top) right portion of the windshield is kept clean.

The author of that video must be joking. If he's serious he'd kill a lot of people.

Mon, 09/19/2011 - 15:37 | 1685779 vib

Vipers, lol. That actually gave me an idea: what if the wipers were not rigid but would change form to maximize the cleaning area.

Mon, 09/19/2011 - 14:29 | 1685524 JohnG

OK, just went and looked at my truck, and I think you would have to move the motors.

My car though, only has one wiper that whips back and forth pretty fucking fast....

Mon, 09/19/2011 - 14:35 | 1685541 bbq on whitehou...

You wouldnt want to.

If you want a real workable solution, it would be forced air.

Same as leaf blowers only stronger and more focused. They way water is removed faster then it collects.

But then you would have to 'engineer' a real solution instead of just blameing the wipers.

Remember engineers are stupid and lazy. Management has the for sight of a mole and are even dumber.

Mon, 09/19/2011 - 15:07 | 1685670 Bob Sacamano

Which is why the harder it rains, the faster I drive -- forced air reduces water build up -- at least that is what I tell the police officer.

Current estimates are that 8 to the 42nd as a round number of likely inhabitants. This figure is not likely to be accurate due to the lack of reporting from these planets and our reliance on field representatives who don't seem keen to go there.

If you figure these are minimum-wage jobs, they're perfect for teens, ex-cons, folks without higher education, etc.

700,000,000 million jobs overnight. 1 for each car that has to be recalled otherwise.

Ya, I remember when Nancy Pelosi was saying we'd be losing 500,000,000 jobs/month

"I love Jim O'Neill. I love that Goldman Sachs guy. He says you either get it, or you don't. I don't get it. In the future there will be a Confucius saying: the wise man not invest in overcapacity. The flaw of the business model, at the center of it is a craving for power as opposed to profit."

- Hugh Hendry, 2010

=========

But, Hendry fails to comprehend that in every single country power brings in profit$ big time.

Oh, it's a real press release, and is still on Marketwire's site... ROFL...

www.marketwire.com/press-release/700000000-million-cars-and-light-trucks...

That's some real quality um, whatever it is you do...

It's headlines like these that make it obvious how much 'headline news' is actually just some press release somebody paid for but most people don't have a clue what financialcontent or any of those other 'aggregators' and website feeders really are. Most of the time the line between news and press release is frighteningly invisible.

This one is just a reminder why people usually hire PR companies to do their press releases, they are usually then at least intelligible...

The wipers are they way they are because they wipe almost to the left edge of the dirvers side. If you reverse them then there will be an arc of unwiped wind shield on the left side, obscuring view to the left.

Online car scam is frequently observed now, this is because car is an expensive purchase and it involves huge amount of money therefore one should be very careful about the fraud and phishing websites.
