It's my favorite line, it's about the money, in both cases. Car manufactures make what the people want, not what's in vogue in the mind of a group of people. Our world has always been creating new things for the betterment of the people, when it's ready, not in pieces. In this case, our leaders caused this monstrous disaster. A group pushing a future dream before creative minds have brought forth the full technology. This is like the market, invest and wait, it will come. Old bull, young bull..............

Car part stores, we want the cheapest, best parts in the world, yesterday! These stores can never keep parts for everything in one brick and mortar store. We pay a guy as close to nothing as we can and we want him to be the brightest bulb in the town. We created this one.......... How many people go to bestbuy to check out the next electronic gadget they're going to buy online.......... CHEAPER.

Best Buy....wow. I remember the first store that was built near where I used to live back in the mid 70's. Went in there once and bought a set of speakers that were supposed to work well with my receiver but didn't. The sales man tried to make me out to be an idiot but I did get my money back and well, only been in any Best Buy maybe a few times since.
