GM Lobbyists failed

Anybody remember back in the day when you could buy military surplus GM trucks from DRMO dirt cheap? (ex military).

 

The contractor selling the military surplus-waste hasnt had crap for sale for quite awhile. A really long time. Nationwide. 

 

Why didn’t GM fight the Pentagon wanting to switch to “Leased DoD vehicles”? It wasnt cheaper. Now if America wants a military police car or truck for a fire Department...it gets leased..plus the .GOV pays to have it marked-painted...and pays again to have it alllll removed before it goes back to the lease...ahem...Senators funding private companies to build ‘military housing’ and pocketing millions...guess whats happening?

 

Same has been happening to fleet vehicles. No more painting military markings on truck doors for quite a few years...the retired General with the contract for Government license plates started charging yearly for ahem....new annual plates....

 

Why do you think GM shut its mouth and let the Pentagon switch to leasing to rob us blind??

If you say its about saving money yer wrong. Opal (General Motors Europe) offered to give the military 100% free cars PLUS FREE SERVICE for its police force in the mid 90’s in Europe in exchange for a television commercial supporting their product.

 

Pentagon said no. Policy of Pentagon, cant support a Company publicly. .......low and behold...the loophole. Leasing. 

 

Taxpayers are stupid bunch....easy to rob. Now...nobody will buy those .Gov lease returns knowing they got no regular maintenance..guess what happens to them all? 

 

Federal Debts gettin bigger boyz...

GM, this is Pentagon secret but...the Ford pickups used to run up and down the Air Base fllightlines working different projects on aircraft...driving at slow speeds can barely get 6mpg hauling nothing..(restricted to low speed so overdrive transmission means squat)...and the made in China Ford rubber floormats on these cheap base models wont last 12 months. The contracted maintenance says its because of the jetfuel on our boots ate the Ford rubber floor mats up.but we work air cargo... no exposure to jetfuel.

 

This was of course a few years ago..Ford may have upgraded to Malaysia for manufacturing....

 

Ha!

I’m a GM guy...so now lets rag on Dodge.

 

Short wheel base Dodge cabbed cummins diesels created to tow generator carts to start aircraft....baaaad idea.

 

Was a few years ago...but those Air Force ‘AGE’ guys used to tweek the Cummins injection pumps ....and pull wheelies and DESTROY the trucks front suspension when it landed. Dodge released a weld kit to reinforce the front suspension...this was a MASSIVE Pentagon joke. They wouldnt let any military guys weld these Dodge plates in...and CONTRACTED to let some retired E-8/E-9 retired mil...who couldnt tell aluminum from steel....weld in allllllll these Dodge retrofit kits.

 

Needless to say....they all failed. NOTHING was sent to the Iraq War those guys touched...but ehhhh...

 

GM’s let itself be neutered ....whatta they care. illegals will fix tha nation...bwahahahahaha...

 

 

BUY FOREIGN CURRENCY NOW!!!!
