BANKRUPTING THE BIG THREE BANKRUPTS AMERICA
Special Kultural Kommentary - Pt. 1
   In past months, the future of the U.S. automobile industry and its viability as a sustainable manufacturing industry have constantly been under fire. The flames ignited because the destiny of the Big Three carmakers can have a direct impact on the future of our Hot Rod Kulture. In mid-September, the over-extended financial system imploded in ways unprecedented since the Great Depression. The trickle-down spiral of boom into bust has penetrated every aspect of life all around the globe… and the collective poster child is now the Detroit Big Three automakers.

   Everyone will weigh in – from the man in the street, the man in the hot rod, the opinion polls, the lobbyists, the think tanks, the academics, the unions, the car companies, the media, and the biggest do-nothing, grandstanding hypocrites of all… Washington D.C. politicians.

   Opinions are divided into two separate and distinct camps and because opinions are like A$&h#!es, everybody has one. The two predominant lines in the opinion sands are: #1) Let the Big Three go bankrupt and all of its red ink flow down the Detroit River and out to sea forever, or #2) Let’s not allow the Big Three to go bankrupt and save the Detroit River through a Super Fund toxic clean-up effort.
