You are driving on the highway when suddenly a limousine cuts you off. You look around to see if anything had caused this action. Nothing looks amiss, just a couple of cars a truck or two and a jeep on the highway. Little do you realize that the jeep is a Ford Explorer, and the person in the limousine is a Ford executive who knows how dangerous the jeep can be. Numerous people over the years have been injured and killed, when their Ford Explorer flipped over while driving. From its inception it was known that it performed poorly in rollover tests. That didn’t stop Ford from putting it on the market, because they knew it was going to be a huge moneymaker. The questions are why wasn’t anything done to stop this product from being allowed on the street? Who should have been responsible? What can be done in the future to make sure this doesn’t happen again?
Would it be so shocking to say that that big business, huge corporations have taken over? Are they the one’s deciding what is right and wrong? Lets be reasonable what can be so wrong with a jeep if it’s the best selling jeep in America. All anyone cares about these days is market price, what does Wall Street think of us.

The government has wronged the comsumer by deregulating the system. Over the last 20 years the NHTSA has its budget cut by a third. How can we realistically think that they will do the proper job? On the other hand in a sense the NHTSA is a puppet branch of the auto companies. The most difficult and almost unbelievable group responsible for this debacle is the UAW. The UAW is the union for autoworkers. The problem is that they don’t represent the workers in any sense of the word. They march to the sound of the auto makers drumbeat. Its not surprising therefore that when there was a rally, union members were seen driving Explorers saying that it is a safe car. Media reported that it was a, “mobilization of auto workers”. This statement is false in truth the union members at the rally were the white-collar workers who sit behind desks all day eating and drinking. There were no blue-collar workers. To add to this, the union members who came were paid for all their expenses by Ford while they were in Washington. Why would a person assume that a car that the unions people, tho
