(South) Korean low-quality Garbage in Canada

Canada and the US import lots of trash every year. Billions of dollars. From China, mostly and then some other countries. Lots of (South) Korean low-quality, nasty, disgusting garbage as well. Although some think that they're a bit better than Chinese. They in fact are. If we give 20 out of 100 to the quality of a Chinese product, the (South) Korean might get 35! Not much better! However the Canadians and American have fallen so low that now they're buying (South) Korean appliances and vehicles! 

It's not limited to these two countries. I know Iran is the same but what's difference over there is Iranian have to, mostly! Why? A few reasons. (South) Korea buys (or used to buy) lots of crude from Iran and in exchange they want to rid of the garbage they make. So they sell vehicles and appliances to Iran. Iranians then think it's so cool and prestigious to drive (South) Korean garbage vehicles because 1) They don't believe in themselves and then 2) They don't have enough money (mostly) to purchase better brands! 

The funny thing that most of stupid Iranians don't know is that Iran started assembling and partially manufacturing vehicles way before (South) Koreans but because the government of Iran didn't want to kiss Americans' ass, they didn't let them develop their programs and instead provided technology to piece of shit, nasty, ass-kissers, the (South) Koreans! 

Going back to North American market, there're lots of disgusting (South) Korean garbage here: From the piece of crap Hyundai to Killed in Action (KIA). Funny thing is, and it's a separate post later, perhaps, that now (South) Korans uses British accent to advertise their nasty garbage!!!! Can you believe this? A woman with strong British accent advertises the nasty (South) Koran trash of KIA or in fact Killed in Action! How pathetic is that? Then there's Hyundai which is the number one favorite of (East) Indians! Why because similar to Iran, in a way, people in India cannot afford better brands and have to resort to (South) Korean garbage. Examples of that would The Newlywed and my new buddy at work whom will be called The Pine Tree here (don't ask why!). Newlywed had an old Nissan SUV and a couple of years ago or so, when we were still in touch (we're not anymore, not that anyone gives a damn, including me because I'm the one who didn't want to!) he told me he had bought a Hyundai SUV! When I asked him why he did that, he said his brother had recommended it! Obviously!

Then The Pine Tree, Who only has been in Canada for about a year, said one day that he had a new car. Guess what it is? A Hyundai SUV! And now what has happened to end after about six month! The car is sitting in a garage with a limited height which a normal tow truck cannot get there! He has been wondering how to get the vehicle out and to the dealership to have it fix! Well done (South) Korean industry! Well done! You deserve all the praise in the world. I guess when people start copying other countries, eventually they derail and that's what happens: They deliver garbage! The other funny thing is most of the (South) Koreans I've seen here, don't drive vehicles of made in their own country or originated there! There was this (South) Korean guy working with us as a part-time fella and eventually got out and got a better position. He purchased a used Mercedes the minute he got his hands on some money! There was another one who I met on one of the two projects that I've been working on for about a year and he was driving an Acura! 

Another reason why you're buying (South) Korean stuff, only and only if you're a big loser! The story of their washing machines (I guess it was Samsung) which caught fire was all over the news! Do people ever learn? No! They keep doing the same stupid shit, they've been doing for years! 

(Photo: [South] Korean copy-technology leads to manufacturing tons of cheap garbage and Samsung washing machine is one of them. The pathetic Government of Canada doesn't have the balls to ban this product! When Mad Cow Disease was found in Canadian beef over 20 years ago, many countries banned the importation of this product. Japan and Taiwan was amongst many. They kept that for years. Taiwan just let Canadian beef in again after that long, a week ago! What's wrong with that? That's the only way the industrialist learn to increase their quality or decrease their price)

Capitalism finally digs himself in (4): Greed

 

I've visited Toronto only once since I came to Canada more than 20 years ago and I'm sure I will never, ever go to that city again unless someone takes my corpse there! I know there're people out there who start teasing as soon as they hear something like that but being away from over-population, pollution, unreasonably priced services and goods, traffic and so on were the reasons I came to Canada. Why the hell would I engage myself with that nonsense again! 

With that in mind, Toronto is the dream city of many Canadians and foreigners, to sum, idiots! A filthy stinking toilet which you have to pay over $600,000 for a small 1-bedroom apartment just to say that I live in Toronto!! The only solution, in my mind and I truly with my whole heart I believe, to problems of such is the Third World War! A really nice bombardment on cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Mexico City and other similar stinking toilet and wiping out the entire city with every single soul in it! Can you imagine who many problems of the governments and generally human race is resolved? Astronomical numbers! 

But without having an Armageddon some greedy assholes already starting feeling the pain in their butt holes! Who? Many of the wise guys who had plans to be rich and purchased those honey-comb size condominiums in Toilet-to (Toronto!) have already started losing money! There's nothing, in the whole world, more satisfactory to me to see greedy people losing money and suffer mentally! You offer me Ice Cream, Strawberries, T-bone Steak, Wagyu Sandwich, or, check this out, tell me that greedy people are losing hundreds of dollars every month, I take the latter! 

Funny thing is Greed is one of the seven deadly sins in Christianity, the so-called religion that Canadians follow but I bet they are as much Christian as Muslims are Muslim! And don't get me wrong this greed is not solely seen within Caucasian Canadians. Many foreigners, mostly war refugees and other free-loaders immediately become one just after a very short period of time because they don't want to lose this race! 

One example of that is Pika, my friend who currently resides in Texas. He said he was sick for years and was taking anti-depressant medication as a result of losing thousands of dollars! I actually was very happy when I heard that, although he's my long-time friend. Why? Because I remember him leaving his wife for days and day, supposedly doing businesses at different locations and the poor woman was all alone by herself and even suspected that he was cheating on her! What I know about that part is he was cheating with Porn films on her because there were times that he would come to me to see if I can find any for him and in fact there's a very funny story about that which I will tell one day. 

I remember The Mumbling Guy got himself in buying and selling houses a few years ago and even wanted to sell one house that he had purchased in the Ghetto(!) to me which of course I refused. When I asked him nearly one year after that he said that he no longer was in the business. I think he was wise enough not to dig a hole for himself and got out fast. Greed is another aspect of capitalism which eventually drive people to bankruptcy, alcoholism, depression and so much more and I truly hope that all the greedy ones suffer to the last day that they're alive.

Lawless

A few movies have been made about the Prohibition Era. At least I know a couple. The most famous one being The Untouchables which most of the young movie-lovers might not have even heard of it. It's a good movie which because of its actors, got more attention than it deserved. 

I watched another movie just recently which made me completely disappointed: Lawless. This is a movie from 2012 with lost of actors and actresses who later became famous or already were famous: T. Hardy (Mad Max: Fury Road) ,  G. Pearce (Prometheus, L. A. Confidential) , S. LaBeouf (I, Robot, that's where I know him from!), J. Chastain (Zero, Dark, Thirty), G. Oldman (The Professional, JFK), G. Clark (Planet of the Apes), ... .  

This proves that it's not just the cast that makes a movie great. There should be a good story as well as other crew and factors. The guys attack a lone fella and cut his throat with a dagger and in a week he's okay and walking like nothing has ever happened! Hardy plays his usual big and tough guy and tries to be more serious that he has ever been on any movie but the silly story kills all his efforts! I'm not telling the story here, so there won't be any spoiler, although it's a movie from 11 years ago but if you want to be laughing at a stupid and non-comic movie and then get bored after half an hour, give this a try. I've always said that and I'm saying it again here: If a movie is good I watch it multiple times. This one I was barely able to finish it. Last word before rating it: Make sure no heavy object is near you while watching this Master-Piece-of-Shit(!) or you'd lose your TV. The movie gets 1 out of 5!

Summer of Hell

There has been different parts of the country facing different natural disasters. Most of them are blamed on the global changes in weather. Some are called natural but who is to blame for the fundamental changes in the weather?! Western countries, mainly, the US, Canada and other consumer-constantly-spending encouraging nations! From the sever snow storms in Atlantic Canada, to floods in Quebec and from landslides in British Columbia to wildfires in Alberta which we are facing now. 

It's turned to hell in the past two days. You can smell smoke as soon as you step outside the door and it's really dark. I used to sit in my living room up until 22:00 without needing a light. Now I have to turn it on around 20:00. I started having a headache in the early afternoon yesterday which went away shortly after I got home but I still have it in the second day of the presence of a think smoke blanketing the entire city. 

People waited more than 6 freaking months to be able to go outdoors and enjoy the weather, especially now that we're close to the May long weekend but I guess all of the plans shall be cancelled. 

I would have been in Europe, in less than a week, had I not cancelled my trip but I did for the reasons I've explained earlier (to myself at least!) and there's no need to repeat it here!
