Philip Greenspun on Cash for Clunkers
Cash for Clunkers has the following elements of spectacle:
- Americans destroying perfectly functional cars
- Americans whose skills are uncompetitive in the global marketplace driving around in fancy new cars
Somewhere in China and India they must be having a good laugh.
Greenspun has one of my favorite blogs, he's a very smart guy that writes in a manner that anybody should be able to understand. Check out the other great posts on his blog some time.
