What an absolute Cowboy situation.!The Cowboys are attached to the most ridiculous division in the league and yet manage to be the most ridiculous team in the division. We can’t even blame it on injuries to key personnel. This is all Jerry’s making. He is by far the worst GM in the NFL and it would be astounding that he would persist as GM except for the fact that he owns the freaking team!
For anyone curious about what it actually looked like to kill a generation of functioning cars, here’s an actual video from 2009 and brief explanation:
The dealer first replaces the oil with sodium silicate solution. It’s a clear-ish liquid that crystallizes under extreme heat. As the engine warms up the solution begins to form small abrasive crystals in the oil system that shred the bearing and score the cylinder walls.
Within seconds of starting the car you can see smoke billowing from the exhaust, this is the crystals scratching the cylinder walls and leaving small grooves for oil and solution to leak past into the combustion chamber and ignite/evaporate, producing the white smoke.
Pretty soon the entire crankcase is full of crystals and freshly shredded metal flakes, the engine seizes. It took about 40 seconds in this video. Some engines reportedly lasted up to 7 minutes, but all were destroyed. That strikes me as sort of sad in a way, like watching a great warrior slowly lose a heroic last stand.
Now, this is the part that gets insanely wasteful. These cars were sent to federally approved recycling facilities where they had 180 days to sell the non-engine parts before they were required to prove that they had shred the entire thing into scrap steel.
But, in talking to a guy who ran one such facility at the time, he typically just sent them straight to the crusher. The timeframes allotted weren’t long enough to dismantle all of the cars, and even if you could, the marginal prices of the parts was greatly diminished. You cannot sell 1000 transmissions when only 50 went bad that year, they became worthless.
So just like that, in order to increase prosperity and save the environment, 677,000 entire running cars and trucks were turned directly into rebar worth a few cents per pound.
The entire Obama administration was like a chapter out of atlas shrugged.
60 Minutes just got caught leaving out the best part.
They sold America a sob story about a "Texas father" who got deported with no criminal record. What they didn't tell you is that he's an illegal alien from Mali who has had a final removal order from a judge since 2012.
DHS's top lawyer pulled his file. The reason he gave for fearing a return to Mali was that he's gay. The man is married to a woman and has kids.
That's the asylum scam in one case file. 60 Minutes didn't uncover a wrongful deportation.
Either they got played, or they played you.
It wasn’t just “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” that was a lie.
Just about everything that Obama promised about Obamacare turned out to be a lie.
Flashback to when Obama went on Letterman a week after the Benghazi attack to lie to the American people.
Obama blamed the Benghazi attack on a video even though he had known for days that the video had nothing to do with the attack. It was terrorism.
The election was coming up and Obama wanted to make sure the Benghazi didn't hurt him, so he went on Letterman and lied.
Obama lying on TV before an election. Some things never change.
