I know, I know, you're staring at the guy in front, but this is not what the today blog is about !!!! It's about the car behind him hahaha!
My car needed a small maintenance, and I drove it to the workplace, you know, change oil and other sticky stuff :-) While waiting for the lubricant-job to be done, I chatted with the salesperson that sold me my actual car. About General Motors, and about the crisis. We read about it in the newspaper but he can give first-hand-information!
Well, he confirmed that it was crisis indeed. This year he has not sold one single new car. And the stuff he told me how GM is beautifying its statistics is not to be published here .... nor the fact that the firm is pushing it's employees to buy a new car at less then half of the price!
My oh my, and I fear that the real crisis still has to come ... then it will be: buy one car, get one for free. Anything to get rid of the stock! And meanwhile, new models are rolling in, all with engines that consume too much, and pollute too wildly.
Anyway, he asked me about my predictions for the crisis, and here's what I told him:
* the real crisis will start once the firms massively stop paying their debts, and the banks cannot get their money back;
* prediction: in around 6 months from now,
* the crisis-situation will probably be spiced up by a war-situation, most probable with Iran,
* and those who own real estate will be happy to have something to hold on to.
Let's see what the future brings!
And now you can look back to the guy in front of the car :-)
