The average American expends more time becoming informed about choosing a car than choosing a candidate. But, then, the consequences of the former choice are immediate and discernible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Decisions are made by those who show up.
We all have the temptation to be backseat drivers when it comes to decisions that don't work out the way we want.
Sometimes, people aren't as consciously aware of their decisions as they should be.
And a tiny number of people in a few states make these decisions, and we're left with these options that are increasingly not attractive to the American people.
Growing up in the Midwest, people don't drive Porsches and Ferraris. They drive Fords and Chevys. And so even if you have the opportunity to buy a more expensive car, it doesn't occur to you because it's not what you relate to.
The problem with the auto industry is layered upon the lack of consumer confidence. People are not buying cars. I don't care whether they're or American cars, or international cars.
There's a lot of randomness in the decisions that people make.
Regardless of the magnitude of the decision, our brains make it hard for us to keep the perspective we need to make good choices.
I think people have all faced decisions at times where you never know.
Informed decision-making comes from a long tradition of guessing and then blaming others for inadequate results.
