That's a comment you really love. But, it's pointless because you're
using a rarely purchased specialty vehicle* as an example. It may as well
be a Caterpillar payloader.


* Don't even comment on the statistical meaning of this. Just don't.


I won't, other than to point out that RV'ing has had a dramatic growth
curve in the past few years and the market for products continues to be
healthy.

Oh boy. At least some state campgrounds are kind enough to segregate these
monstrosities, far from the tent areas, so we don't need to listen to the
damned generators that are cranked up at 7:01 AM when quiet hours end.

That used to burn my ass in some California state parks, they'd give me
a tent site right in the middle of those land yachts with their
generators running constantly.

The NY State parks are pretty good about segregation, when space allows it.
And, most rangers will really slam RV people if they run any noise-making
toys during quiet hours.

I am not much of a camper but the few times I've stopped at RV campsites
I've never heard anyone's generator running. The sites all had power.

In fact, the new RV has had the generator on twice. Once when we bought it
and were given the indoctrination and once a month or so ago in my yard just
to see if it still worked.

Army Corp sites are very good about it, too. As is Georgia state parks.

That's not what the archives show. Perhaps yet another reason you no

With the hot air he has bottled up, he'd probably float all the way over
to the Ontario side, causing an international incident by polluting
Canadian shores.

It's more a red state blue state thingy. Real Americans live in red

Bottom line...the Looney Left does not support their country or

That's because righties are lemmings, lefties are not. A right winger
would buy American no matter what, because they're told to do so. A
left winger would use their brains, and know that some of the foreign
models are more dependable, and better equipped for less money.

And then bitch about the jobs going overseas.

My Tacoma was built in California. IIRC, the engine block came from Japan,
but Toyota does that to protect my job. It guarantees that the vehicle will
get me to work many more times than another brand.


That's super!

I recall reading several years ago that Toyota was planning to
manufacture some of its truck engines in the USA, too, but I haven't
followed that story, so I have no idea whether it took place.

Some of us realize that if the US had a decent program of national
health insurance and pension programs, as most other modern nations do,
our manufacturers would be more competitive.

If we all gave the money to the government, we wouldn't be able to buy the
products at the prices they'd want anyway.

You have a point. Last time I looked, health care costs were very close
to 15% GDP. The rest of the industrialized world is around 10% and under.
That is a major anti-competitive cost.

I'll try and find the article I read about a month ago, which indicated that
Ford & GM had an ancient deal with the unions which involved paying workers
to sit around and do nothing. The deal continues, and I'm not kidding.


I remember seeing it. Maybe it's part of their health plan. People sitting
around don't get sick as often?
