Does anyone else find the "Tomorrow" song at 8:00 just a little dark and creepy?

In the US, they are proposing on redesigning the seats on planes because most Americans over age 30 are obese!

@FIREBIRDC9 or 350 lb Americans driving in luxury SUV's they can't possibly afford. Ford, btw, is building more production facilities in India. The globalists run America and nationalism has been slowly dying here since they assasinated JFK!

To think that GM had 76% of the car market in their pocket ,what happened?

[AryanKnight]

~GM's artistic Flights of fantasy, promoting extreme automation, usually silly gadgets we didn't need, which ultimately breakdown to be more trouble than worth. The refrigerator was the best home-kitchen innovation ever, and the microwave-oven is similarly safe and reliable. The automatic-transmission has proven its merit, along with elect.windows, but pwr.-steering & pwr.brakes are there only because the cars are to heavy. The Lady & Gent did a wonderful job of selling the fantasy.!!!
