The Bureaucratic World of Government

Government officials seem to live in a world of fantasy, far removed from reality. They constantly use vague language and manipulate numbers to justify their actions. For instance, when it comes to funds, they claim that "well, we might use it for some things," implying that the money is not needed for immediate use but can be saved for future purposes. This approach is often seen in emergency situations where timely action is required. However, government officials seem to operate under a different set of rules, as if they are playing with numbers and funds like they are toys.

The IG report highlights the existence of unliquidated funds worth over $7 billion that could potentially be returned to disaster relief efforts. Yet, despite this discovery, there seems to be no urgency in utilizing these funds for their intended purpose. It is as if government officials are more interested in playing with numbers and manipulating figures rather than taking concrete actions. The lack of transparency and accountability in the way funds are managed is a major concern, and it's clear that bureaucrats often prioritize their own interests over those of the public.

The World of Corruption

Corruption is rampant in various aspects of government, making it challenging for citizens to trust officials. One notable example is the dockworkers' strike at US ports, where 50,000 workers went on strike despite only having 25,000 jobs available. The reason behind this massive strike was not due to a lack of work but rather the presence of "container royalties" negotiated decades ago to mitigate job losses resulting from innovation. This system allows some dockworkers to collect money while doing nothing, essentially collecting a paycheck for being part of the union.

The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) has been found to have absolute control over hiring in ports, leading to a lack of diversity and inclusion in waterfront employment. Moreover, this control has also contributed to the perpetuation of criminality and corruption within the industry. The ILA's influence is so significant that it can dictate who gets hired and when, essentially allowing them to dictate the terms of employment for thousands of workers.

The Consequences of Corruption

The consequences of corruption in government and industries like the dockworkers' union are far-reaching and devastating. In the case of the dockworkers' strike, the result is a massive disruption to port operations and the economy as a whole. The lack of transparency and accountability also erodes trust between citizens and their elected officials.

In other areas, corruption can lead to widespread abuse of power and exploitation of resources. For instance, when Neil Young spent $500,000 on electrifying his 1959 Lincoln Continental, it raised questions about the value placed on individual projects over the greater good. The fact that he was able to afford such an expensive upgrade speaks to the disparity in wealth distribution and the focus on personal interests rather than public needs.

A Cautionary Tale

The story of Ben Affleck's electric Ford Bronco is a cautionary tale for companies looking to use high-profile individuals as promotional tools. When things go wrong, it can lead to severe reputational damage. The fact that Gateway Bronco was unable to produce reliable vehicles raises serious concerns about their capabilities and commitment to quality.

In the end, the example of Ben Affleck's electric Ford Bronco serves as a reminder that using high-profile individuals to promote products or services can be detrimental to one's reputation. It highlights the importance of prioritizing quality over popularity and ensuring that products meet the needs of consumers before investing in high-profile endorsements.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: engraub up your engines well one of my viewers sent me a clip of Doug deuro insulting me I thought it was rather hilarious him and two other guys are talking and they're

knowledge and I abue it to people I'm not like him I didn't work for Porche selling Rich sports cars to rich people these people live in their car World they don't fix them they just ride around them they don't know anything about them why would people watch somebody like me I mean why I only got 56 now 57 years experience fixing things telling you what's good what's bad I'm trying to give practical advice to most people in the world average people who want not to get ripped off right they're not going out buying a $2.6 million Ferrari to inflate their ego I guess they have small Eagles to begin with so they got to blow it up I don't worry about that mine's perfectly fine I could drive around a 30y old car doesn't matter to me I'm out here to help people out now they're not helping anybody else except making money for themselves I mean he's also got a thing where they sell cars and everyone knows used car dealers are like the bottom of the wrong if you ask anybody who's the person you would trust the least it would be somebody who sells used cars right now I check out used cars for people free to tell them it's good it's bad warn them what not to get tell them what a good one is how to save people money right I'm not selling anybody a car that's a dirty business right so it's no wonder that people like that don't understand why people would watch me because they live in a different world I think it's more like the world of Idiocracy like the uh movie that the guy did be and buts Mike Judge did where in the future people got dumber and dumber and dumber well they live in that world I live in an old world where intelligence is used to help people out not to sell them expensive crap that they really don't need well the Chief Financial Officer of stallant telling their staff that they have to slash their spending as the dogghouse days return well a lot of people wouldn't even understand what a dog house is back in the day the old joke was if the husband didn't do what the wife wants he was in the dog house meaning he'd have to go outside and live in the house that was built for the dog who lived outside now most dogs today live inside they live pampered lives so most people today Min people they don't even know what a dogghouse means but be there as it may they're telling people you got to slash spending you got to slash spending you can't keep spending money well guess what cuz stanus is going down the toilet they make crappy Vehicles it's a French Italian business right off the bat it's telling you there's probably going to be problems right now they can't get rid of their jeeps in the United States nobody's buying them they're pile it up and of course they're pushing their electric vehicles it's not as if their regular Vehicles were bad enough their electric vehicles are even worse they make some of the worst hybrid vehicles out there stest trying to sell them on people and then they buy them and they break down I just talked to a guy I went to a Jeep dealer and his friend was a mechanic there and he says people they finally buy these electric hybrid cars that we have hey they're back in a few weeks or months cuz they're breaking and we got to fix them again because of course the mechanic knows and his friend was a mechanic so he told him the truth he's known him since high school but they need to slash spending in their offices that's going to solve stell's problem I don't think it's going to solve anything right it's too much the fantasy world these Executives live in you know oh put you in the dog house they've watched too many cartoons if you ask me TP throw says I got a 2019 Kia sento with 12,000 Mi 3.3 V6 when they start it up sounds like a tractor and then it mels up I find it might be the timing chain tensioner what do you think okay well it could be the timing chain tensioner it could even be simpler what I'd advise you to do first is this ATS for flushing your engine ATS engine flush buy bottle that follow the directions you pour it in your engine then you rev it up to about 2,000 RPM with a fan in front of the car for about half an hour then you shut it off then you change the oil and filter sometimes the tiny tensioner gets stuck in the beginning because it's carboned up or gooped up that will clean it and if the noise goes away you just got a real cheap fix cost you 40 bucks or something to fix your car right now if not that the tensioner itself could be gone you want to pray it's that cuz if not then often the variable valve time in assemblies they will rattle at the top of the engine doesn't matter how tight the chain is if those things are going out and rattling then that's a problem then I'd say it's got 102,000 miles rather than tear the engine down get rid of the thing you don't want to start tearing an engine down on a ky cost a fortune and the rest of the engine's also worn it's kind of like putting a Band-Aid you got serious problems you fix one problem with the piston rings will be worn the crankshaft will be everything will be worn you don't want to just fix one thing if you're going to tear an engine apart to rebuild an engine cost you five six grand or more so try the simple fixes first pray it fixes and if not I'd say get rid of it well if you watched the video I did the other day where the FEMA guys said oh we don't have any disaster funds left for any more hurricanes it turns out that the IG report says the agency is sitting on billions of dollars of course they always say they don't have enough money so they try to get more money from the government right I mean all the government does these days is borrow money and then spend it for the first time ever the interest on a borrowed money was a trillion dollars and of course the principal will never get paid off and they can barely pay the interest anybody that's involved in the government just oh it's an endless supply of money we'll just say we don't have any left we need more and Inspector General notice FEA estimated that 847 disaster declarations with 73 billion and unliquidated funds remained open so of course they're bureaucrats all of them they've got all these funds that they have used but they say well we might use it for some of these things it be like saying well I got 8 billion in the bank but I'm planning on using it for other things so I can't use it now for an emergency right there's a government they live in another world right they don't live in a real world they live in this bureaucrat fantasy world so the IG report say quote more than 7 billion in unliquidated funds could potentially be returned to the disaster Le fund but of course they're bureaucrats I got to play with the numbers just like when the government they don't even tell you how much they really are in debt because they always passay till the next year well it's 2024 now let's put that into the budget for 2025 or 2026 we'll put it in the future so it looks like it's not as bad as it is they're always just changing the numbers around so turns out they probably aren't out of money but they'll have to dig into unused funds whatever the heck that's supposed to mean right I mean the whole thing is just anything the government has to do with money you know it's a gigantic mess corruption all over the place you don't know who to believe other than most of it is borrowed money that probably will never be paid back well if you're f a dock work strike here's a good question you might want answer how did 50,000 Dock Workers go on strike at us ports when the ports only had 25,000 jobs yes very interesting right well it's because of the corruption in the doc Workers Union if you watched any of the old movies about you know the crime ridden uh docks watch on the waterfront good movie anyways but that stuff I guess is still going on because there's a massive golf in the numbers between those who sh for work and the total membership that they have and that's because half of the doc workers at the eastn golf PS are allowed to sit at home collecting container royalties negotiated decades ago to predicant job losses that resulted from Innovation so they got a bunch of guys sitting collecting money these container royalties of each container not working kind of like Farmers getting paid not to grow crops right only this is for the Dock Workers so that's how they say 50,000 went on strike but they've only got 25,000 jobs cu the other ones are sitting on their butts collecting money doing nothing yeah if that doesn't smell of corruption I don't know what does the Waterfront commission found and I quote the absolute control of the international long shoreman's Association over hiring in the port over 60 years has not only led to a lack of diversity and inclusion and Waterfront employment but also in the perpetuation of criminality and Corruption so that's how 50,000 went on strike even though only 25,000 of them actually work at the docs it goes on maybe it goes on well you might have seen that hilarious video where Ben Affleck electric Ford Bronco breaks down on the side of the row with his son he's got to get it towed away now this is an electric Ford Bronco but you can't buy one it is a customade one you can see it's an old body style it was built by a company called Gateway Bronco and as they said and I quote building this custom EV Bronco as a surprise birthday gift for Ben Affleck was a milestone project for all of us at Gateway Bronco well maybe you should have done a better job building it people spend insane amounts of money electrifying vehicles I mean you could do it if you got the money for example Neil Young he has a 1959 Lincoln Kat electrified and he spent $500,000 building it right O'Neal tries to sing like he's a man of the people but he spent 500 Grand on his electric Lincoln Continental it's not like you're going to buy one of these EV Broncos maybe one day they'll make EV Broncos and then hundreds of thousands of people can be stranded as the things break down in this case it's a oneoff and what do they care they got to wherever they were going and they told it away to get it fixed somewhere not good PR for electric cars and especially that company you know it's kind of like think about when Genesis hired the famous golf player Tiger Woods right to drive around in aent then he wrecks the thing and smashes up and gets injured can't play golf for a while he never really came back after that so bad idea to use these highlevel people as profile for your company when things don't work out all that well so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos remember to ring that Bell n\n"
