CarX vs Midas

I. CarX vs. Midas

Which came first: CarX or Midas? At this juncture of American society, who knows and the who the fuck cares? Both operations run pretty much exactly the same, have the exact same procedures, the exact same prices, and treat their employees exactly the same. This analogy tells exactly what it takes to succeed in a capitalist society, and probably gives us insight as to why a bailout was required in order for this system to substain itself.

Simply put, whichever of these organizations was not created as a result of brilliant thinking or eradicating an original idea. In fact, it can be determined that one either stole the ideas from the other, or the proprieter of the new company was a previous employee for the other one. How did this come about?

One of the employees from either Midas or CarX only opened the business because he wished to be his own boss. This person may not have even been that great of a mechanic and surely wasn't an original idealist. In order to achieve this, all he had to do was be a cheapskate, not spend any money on anything whatsoever and save it. Or, receive an inheritance from a relative who deceased and thus this person didn't even have to work for his money.

Sure saving money is fine, and not having to work is even better, but who really prospered from this? By not going out, this person lost touch on the ability to relate with people and became unaware of the structure of society going on around him. As a result, we have two businesses that are exactly the same, and the savings, in regards to progress in society, was essentially wasted. Therefore, there will be no significant improvements in technology regarding the products these two corporations sell. To my knowledge, they've been exactly the same since 1972. Furthermore, original manufacturers of these products are expected to be lazy, stupid, and display relectuancy to emphasize quality because now people have to take their vehicles to these businesses repeatedly and that will give the non-brilliant cheapskates even more money and power.

Who benefits from this capitalist freedom? You. Now, because the owners of these places are cheapskates who are out of touch with humanity, you now have the luxury to choose, two "different" places to get your car fixed. Because they are cheapskates, these places will charge you way more money than you wish to pay. These people will lie and cheat and tell you that you need to buy more of the expensive products when you really don't need them. More than likely, due to the fact the cheapskate never went out to socialize, the customer service will be horrendous and the guy at the counter will be rude to you. And, because the owner is hardly brilliant, there's a chance they will fuck up your car, perform the repair improperly, and charge you even more money to correct it. Let's not forget the length of time involved with waiting for the repairs.

And most importantly, because we are not benefitting progress, mufflers and brakes will probably be exactly the same 50 years from now as they are today. It's considered a bad thing in America to envision a car that no longer even requires these parts, or have become so advanced they rarely malfunction. The reason for this  is because Americans only wish certain people to have advanced education- many others cannot afford and therefore just take a job as a mechanic. Furthermore, because we have a class system, many people perceive the status of being a mechanic as nothing special. Just imagine if mechanics were able to get higher education for free and utilize this knowledge for the progression of technology in the vehicles we depend upon- and they weren't ultra-dependant on how to squeeze ten more dollars out every customer?
