When Chrysler revived its Pacifica badge for its reborn minivan in 2017, few would have imagined that a minivan would be Chrysler's only 2024 offering. Split across a plug-in hybrid powertrain and a traditional ICE powertrain, the Pacifica sticks with Chrysler Corporation's dedication to comfortably hauling people. Technically split further into the Voyager and Pacifica models, Chrysler's minivan ascends to near-luxury territory with the top-flight Pinnacle trim. Maybach-Esq pillows adorn the second row, and leather and soft-touch materials appear in droves. Sitting atop the Pacifica hierarchy, the Pacifica Pinnacle is also available with the 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar under the hood or the 3.6-liter Pentastar that works with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. With PHEV power the Pacifica can move over 30 miles on battery-only power and can manage around 540 miles of range per tank of fuel. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek's Patrick Carone hops behind the wheel of the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV and puts it through its paces. Carone takes you on a guided tour of the Pacifica and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Carone takes you along for a live drive review of this Chrysler minivan. Adding to these segments, Carone chats with host Wesley Wren about the Pacifica, the state of the minivan, and Chrysler's current lineup. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the Pacifica special.

Daimler-Chrysler: Merger LessonsOn November 12, 1998, shareholders of automotive world voting in favor surprising union: Germany's Daimler-Benz AG and America's Chrysler Corporation merged, promising to reshape the car market's landscape. The Daimler-Chrysler alliance blended German engineering finesse with American innovation and mass appeal. Yet, this perfect union on paper became a complex, challenging journey falling short of expectations.Intending to create an automotive juggernaut, Daimler-Benz sought to tap into the American market, while Chrysler aimed to harness German technological prowess. Synergies appeared promising, but reality proved far more intricate.The primary challenge lay in clashing corporate cultures. Bridging the vast differences in management styles, communication approaches, and organizational structures proved daunting, hindering the merger's full potential. Daimler's luxury focus conflicted with Chrysler's mass appeal emphasis, rendering product integration and economies of scale unsuccessful.As time elapsed, cultural and strategic misalignments eroded synergies. Promised cost savings and market presence remained elusive, frustrating shareholders. In 2007, Daimler parted ways with Chrysler, selling it to Cerberus Capital Management—ending the Daimler-Chrysler era.This cautionary tale underscores the importance of cultural integration and strategic alignment in mergers. The failed mega-merger highlights the nuances of cross-border collaborations beyond financial considerations. The Daimler-Chrysler merger remains a pivotal moment in automotive history, offering lessons on global business partnerships' complexities and ingredients for a successful merger.www.nodrivingloves.com#cars #car #collectorcars #oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #onthisday #NaPodPoMo #mergerofequals #mercedes #mercedes-benz #chrysler #bigbusiness
¡Hoy toca podcast de rarezas! ¡Pero algunas muy raras y coches que, para muchos, seguramente serán desconocidos: Japoneses, rusos, daneses… ¡Hay de todo! Y es que siempre que se habla de los coches de la Segunda Guerra Mundial solo se recuerda al Jeep y al Kubelwagen… ¡Pues hay muchos más! 1. Dodge WC-6 Command Car. Comenzamos por un norteamericano, un coche que me encanta: El Dodge WC6. El estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial supuso un impulso a toda la industria norteamericana, pues el gobierno necesitaba de todos y se firmaban contratos alegremente. Todos los constructores de automóviles se beneficiaron de esto, incluida Chrysler Corporation, que construyo desde motores de tanques a los cañones Bofors de 40 mm … pero sobre todo este Dodge WC Command Car. 2. GAZ 61-73. También los rusos diseñaron sus propios modelos militares. El GAZ 61 fue diseñado en 1938 por un tal V.A. Grachev a partir de un modelo más antiguo, el GAZ-M21. La producción no comenzó hasta 1940. La primera versión, realizada entre 1940 y 1941, fue un modelo de 4 puertas tipo Phaeton propulsado por un motor de 3.485 cm3 de 6 cilindros y 85 CV de potencia y una velocidad máxima de 100 km/h. Era el modelo utilizado principalmente por los comandantes del ejército soviético en 1941. 3. GAZ 67 (Copia del Willys). Si buscas este modelo en Wikipedia pone que “Era el equivalente soviético del Jeep Willys” … pero mi opinión es otra, no era un “equivalente”, era una copia. Contaba con un motor GAZ de gasolina, 4 cilindros en línea, 3.280 cm3 y 54 CV de cilindrada, con cambio de 4 velocidades y tracción a ambos ejes. 4. Horch 901 KFZ. Una marca alemana, casi olvidada hoy día, pero que producía coches de una grandísima calidad. El Horch 901 al principio estaba destinado a transportar a los funcionarios del Estado Mayor. Pero con el tiempo y por su demostrada fiabilidad se utilizó como ambulancia para el transporte de heridos, vehículos de comunicaciones, tractores de artillería ligera, furgonetas de suministro y soldados es un vehículo militar todoterreno utilizado por las fuerzas armadas alemanas de 1937 a 1945. 5. Humber FWD HU “Box”. Antes del Land Rover ya había modelos TT británicos, como el caso de este FWD HU producido por la empresa Humber entre 1941-1945. Hubo versiones ambulancia y camión todoterreno ligero de 400 kg de carga. Nació como los demás para cubrir las necesidades del ejercito tras el estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Tiene el honor de ser el único automóvil todoterreno para pasajeros con tracción en las cuatro ruedas producido en Gran Bretaña durante la guerra. 6. IJA Type 95 Kurogane. ¡Vamos con un coche japonés! Y más de lo mismo: El Vehículo de Reconocimiento Tipo 95 más conocido como Kurogane, fue un automóvil desarrollado cuando se comprobó la necesidad de contar con un vehículo de este tipo en el Ejercito japonés. Se construyeron un total de 4.800 unidades en sus diferentes configuraciones de carrocería. 7. Laffly V15T. Tras un japones, un francés… Un modelo por el que confieso que tengo debilidad. Aunque para algunos más que un coche se trata de un tractor ligero 4x4 francés utilizado sobre todo para remolcar el cañón antitanque Hotchkiss de 25 mm. Tengo mucha y buena info de este coche, que merecería un video para el solo. 8. Mercedes-Benz KFZ.1 Type 170 VK. No podía faltar algún modelo de la marca favorita del “Führer”. He elegido el Mercedes-Benz W136 o 170 V inicialmente destinado al mercado civil. Pero su simplicidad de construcción, fiabilidad y buen comportamiento en todo tipo de carreteras lo convirtieron en el modelo Mercedes más popular en la década de 1930. 9. Steyr 270 1500 A. ¡Un modelo diseñado nada menos que por el genio Ferdinand Porsche! tres variantes: Una para el transporte de militares, otra para los altos mandos militares (Kfz 21) y finalmente la que he elegido, el KFZ 70 Mannschaftswagen o el Steyr 270 1500ª, algo así como un camión ligero y que fue el más producido. Contaba con un motor Steyr de gasolina, refrigerado por aire, de ocho cilindros en V y una cilindrada de 3517 cm3 con una caja de cambios de cuatro marchas hacia adelante y una hacia atrás. 10. Tempo G1200. Hemos dejado para final el que probablemente sea el modelo más raro de esta selección. El Tempo G1200 es un verdadero TT ligero, donde la "G" significa Geländewagen. Se produjeron solo unas 1200 unidades y se utilizaron principalmente en Suecia. Era un modelo muy original, con suspensión independiente y la tracción en las cuatro ruedas gracias a dos motores bicilíndricos de dos tiempos refrigerados por aire. Coche del día. Entre los que me he dejado fuera esta un camión ligero que me encanta, el Krupp L2H 143 KFZ 70. Esta marca alemana me encanta y hizo una camiones excelentes y muy bonitos.

Penny Kelly is a writer, teacher, author, publisher, consultant, and Naturopathic physician. Early in her career she was an engineer for Chrysler Corporation but left there in 1979 after a full, spontaneous awakening of kundalini to study the brain, consciousness, intelligence, intuition, and cognition. This was followed by 18 years of work as an educational consultant specializing in Accelerated and Brain-Compatible Teaching and Learning, working with both schools and corporations. After purchasing acreage in 1987, she raised grapes for Welch Foods for a dozen years while also building Lily Hill Farm, now a large B&B. She worked with Dr. Wm. Levengood, biophysicist, for 15 years, studying materials from crop circles and animal mutilations, and researching plasma, energy and consciousness. Penny was involved in Community Gardening in Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, MI through grants from the Kellogg Foundation. She was a member of the Tipping Point Network whose focus is sustainability in all sectors of life and has been a Flow Fund recipient through Marion Rockefeller Weber. She maintains a worldwide counseling and coaching practice, teaches online courses in Developing Intuition, and travels widely to speak and teach. Penny holds a degree in Humanistic Studies from Wayne State University and a degree in Naturopathic Medicine from Clayton College of Natural Health.Back in the late 1970s, Penny was an unemployed mother with four children, on Welfare, trying to study for a premed degree when her life literally began to fall apart. Many things happened, not necessarily in this order: she had a series of kundalini experiences got divorced, and suddenly these little men in brown robes began appearing to her in her kitchen, her bedroom, and her living room The visits were designed to show her the future of our planet, keying in on the United States in particular. At first startled by their appearance, with no frame of reference for the experience, other than the rising of her kundalini, she attempted to ignore them. But the pictures they were showing her ultimately could not be ignored. In Kelly's book, The Robes: A book of Coming Changes, we are shown a vision of our future that is imperative to engage, much of which has already come to pass since those visits nearly 40 years ago. Tune into this fascinating show, which not only talks about the future that Penny saw all the way to 2413, but also talks about what we can do to help create and live in a new world based on higher consciousness.Find out more about Penny Kelly at https://pennykelly.com/ Book: Robes: A Book of Coming Changes Learn more about your ad choices.

I had a fascinating discussion about Robert Moses and The Power Broker with Professor Kenneth T. Jackson.He's the pre-eminent historian on NYC and author of Robert Moses and The Modern City: The Transformation of New York.He answers:* Why are we so much worse at building things today?* Would NYC be like Detroit without the master builder?* Does it take a tyrant to stop NIMBY?Watch on YouTube.

If you consume my podcast via transcripts, let me know in the comments if this transcript was (or wasn't) an adequate substitute for the human edited transcripts in previous episodes.0:00:00 Preview + IntroKenneth Jackson 0:00:00Robert Moses represented a past, you know, a time when we wanted to build bridges and super highways and things that pretty much has gone on. We're not building super highways now. We're not building vast bridges like Moses built all the time. Had Robert Moses not lived, not done what he did, New York would have followed the trail of maybe Detroit. Essentially all the big roads, all the bridges, all the parks, the United Nations, Lincoln Center, the World's Fairs of 1939 and 1964, and hundreds of other things he built. And I think it was the best book I ever read. In broad strokes, it's correct. Robert Moses had more power than any urban figure in American history. He built incredible monuments. He was ruthless and arrogant and honest. Okay.Dwarkesh Patel 0:00:54I am really, really excited about this one. Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Professor Kenneth T. Jackson about the life and legacy of Robert Moses. Professor Jackson is the preeminent historian on New York City. He was the director of the Herbert H. Lehman Center for American History and the Jock Barzun Professor Emeritus of History at Columbia University, where he has also shared the Department of History. And we were discussing Robert Moses. Professor Jackson is the author and editor of Robert Moses and the Modern City, the Transformation of New York. Professor Jackson, welcome to the podcast.Kenneth Jackson 0:01:37Well, thank you for having me. Okay.Dwarkesh Patel 0:01:40So many people will have heard of Robert Moses and be vaguely aware of him through the popular biography of him by Robert Caro, the power broker. But most people will not be aware of the extent of his influence on New York City. Can you give a kind of a summary of the things he was able to get built in New York City?Kenneth Jackson 0:02:03One of the best comparisons I can think of is that our Caro himself, when he compared him to Christopher Wren in London, he said, if you would see his monument, look around. It's almost more easier to talk about what Moses didn't do than what he did do. If you all the roads, essentially all the big roads, all the bridges, all the parks, the United Nations, Lincoln Center, the World's Fairs of 1939 and 1964, and hundreds of other things he built. I mean, he didn't actually do it with his own two hands, but he was in charge. He got it done. And Robert Caro wrote a really great book. I think the book was flawed because I think Caro only looked at Moses's own documents and Moses had a very narrow view of himself. I mean, he thought he was a great man, but I mean, he didn't pay any attention to what was going on in LA very much, for example. But clearly, by any standard, he's the greatest builder in American history. There's nobody really in second place. And not only did he build and spend this vast amount of money, he was in power for a long time, really a half century more or less. And he had a singular focus. He was married, but his personal life was not important to him. He did it without scandal, really, even Caro admits that he really died with less than he started with. So I mean, he wanted power, and boy, did he have power. He technically was subservient to governors and mayors, but since he built so much and since he had multiple jobs, that was part of his secret. He had as many as six, eight, ten different things at once. If the mayor fired him or got rid of him, he had all these different ways, which he was in charge of that the mayor couldn't. So you people were afraid of him, and they also respected him. He was very smart, and he worked for a dollar a year. So what are you going to get him for? As Caro says, nobody is ready to be compared with Robert Moses. In fact, compares him with an act of nature. In other words, the person you can compare him with is God. That's the person. He put the rivers in. He put the hills in. He put the island in. Compare that to Moses, what Moses did. No other person could compare to that. That's a little bit of exaggeration, but when you really think about Robert Moses and you read the Power Broker, you are stunned by the scope of his achievement. Just stunned. And even beyond New York, when we think of the interstate highway system, which really starts in 1954, 55, 56, and which is 40-something thousand miles of interstate highways, those were built by Moses' men, people who had in their young life had worked with the parkways and expressways in and around New York City. So they were ready to go. So Moses and Moses also worked outside New York City, mostly inside New York City, but he achieved so much. So probably you need to understand it's not easy to get things done in New York. It's very, very dense, much twice as dense as any place in the United States and full of neighborhoods that feel like little cities and are little cities and that don't want change even today. A place like Austin, for example, is heavy into development, not New York. You want to build a tall building in New York, you got to fight for it. And the fact that he did so much in the face of opposition speaks a lot to his methods and the way he… How did Moses do what he did? That is a huge question because it isn't happening anymore, certainly not in New YorkDwarkesh Patel 0:06:22City. Yeah. And that's really why I actually wanted to talk to you and talk about this book because the Power Broker was released in 1974 and at the time New York was not doing well, which is to put it mildly. But today the crisis we face is one where we haven't built significant public works in many American cities for decades. And so it's interesting to look back on a time when we could actually get a lot of public works built very quickly and very efficiently and see if maybe we got our characterization of the people at the time wrong. And that's where your 2007 book comes in. So I'm curious, how was the book received 50 years after, or I guess 40 years after the Power Broker was released? What was the reception like? How does the intellectual climate around these issues change in that time?Kenneth Jackson 0:07:18The Power Broker is a stunning achievement, but you're right. The Power Broker colon Robert Moses and the fall of New York. He's thinking that in the 1970s, which is the… In New York's 400-year history, we think of the 1970s as being the bottom. City was bankrupt, crime was going up, corruption was all around. Nothing was working very well. My argument in the subtitle of the 2007 book or that article is Robert Moses and the rise of New York. Arguing that had Robert Moses not lived, not done what he did, New York would have followed the trail of maybe Detroit and St. Louis and Cincinnati and Pittsburgh and most cities in the Northeast and Midwest, which really declined. New York City really hasn't declined. It's got more people now than it ever did. It's still a number one city in the world, really, by most of our standards. It's the global leader, maybe along with London. At one point in the 1980s, we thought it might be Tokyo, which is the largest city in the world, but it's no longer considered competitive with New York. I say London too because New York and London are kind of alone at the top. I think Robert Moses' public works, activities, I just don't know that you could have a New York City and not have expressways. I don't like the Cross Bronx expressway either and don't want to drive on it. How can you have a world in which you can't go from Boston to San Francisco? You had to have it. You have to have some highways and Carroll had it exactly wrong. He talked about Moses and the decline of public transit in New York. Actually what you need to explain in New York is why public transit survived in New York, wherein most other American cities, the only people who use public transit are the losers. Oh, the disabled, the poor and stuff like that. In New York City, rich people ride the subway. It's simply the most efficient way to get around and the quickest. That question needs, some of the things need to be turned on its head. How did he get it done? How did he do it without scandal? I mean, when you think about how the world is in our time, when everything has either a financial scandal or a sexual scandal attached to it, Moses didn't have scandals. He built the White Stone Bridge, for example, which is a gigantic bridge connecting the Bronx to Queens. It's beautiful. It was finished in the late 1930s on time and under budget. Actually a little earlier. There's no such thing as that now. You're going to do a big public works project and you're going to do it on time. And also he did it well. Jones Beach, for example, for generations has been considered one of the great public facilities on earth. It's gigantic. And he created it. You know, I know people will say it's just sand and water. No, no, it's a little more complicated than that. So everything he did was complicated. I mean, I think Robert Caro deserves a lot of credit for doing research on Moses, his childhood, his growing up, his assertion that he's the most important person ever to live in and around New York. And just think of Franklin Roosevelt and all the people who lived in and around New York. And Moses is in a category by himself, even though most Americans have never heard of Robert Moses. So his fame is still not, that book made him famous. And I think his legacy will continue to evolve and I think slightly improve as Americans realize that it's so hard, it's hard to build public works, especially in dense urban environments. And he did it.0:11:13 How Moses Gained PowerDwarkesh Patel 0:11:33Yeah. There's so much to talk about there. But like one of the interesting things from the Power Broker is Caro is trying to explain why governors and mayors who were hesitant about the power that Moses was gaining continued to give him more power. And there's a section where he's talking about how FDR would keep giving him more positions and responsibilities, even though FDR and Moses famously had a huge enmity. And he says no governor could look at the difficulty of getting things built in New York and not admire and respect Moses' ability to do things, as he said, efficiently, on time, under budget, and not need him, essentially. But speaking of scandal, you talked about how he didn't take salary for his 12 concurrent government roles that he was on. But there's a very arresting anecdote in the Power Broker where I think he's 71 and his daughter gets cancer. And for the first time, I think he had to accept, maybe I'm getting the details wrong, but he had to accept salary for working on the World's Fair because he didn't have enough. He was the most powerful person in New York, and he didn't have enough money to pay for his daughter's cancer. And even Caro himself says that a lot of the scandals that came later in his life, they were just kind of trivial stuff, like an acre of Central Park or the Shakespeare in the park. Yeah, it wasn't... The things that actually took him down were just trivial scandals.Kenneth Jackson 0:13:07Well, in fact, when he finally was taken down, it took the efforts of a person who was almost considered the second most powerful person in the United States, David Rockefeller, and the governor of New York, both of whom were brothers, and they still had a lot of Moses to make him kind of get out of power in 1968. But it was time. And he exercised power into his 70s and 80s, and most of it was good. I mean, the bridges are remarkable. The bridges are gorgeous, mostly. They're incredible. The Throgs Neck Bridge, the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, the Triborough Bridge, they're really works of art. And he liked to build things you could see. And I think the fact that he didn't take money was important to it. You know, he was not poor. I wouldn't say he's not wealthy in New York terms, but he was not a poor person. He went to Yale as a Jewish person, and let's say in the early 20th century, that's fairly unusual and he lived well. So we can't say he's poor, but I think that Carol was right in saying that what Moses was after in the end was not sex and not power, and not sex and not money. Power. He wanted power. And boy, did he get it.Dwarkesh Patel 0:14:37Well, there's a good review of the book from, I'm not sure if I remember the last name, but it was Philip Lopgate or something. Low paid, I think.Kenneth Jackson 0:14:45Okay.Dwarkesh Patel 0:14:46And he made a good point, which was that the connotation of the word power is very negative, but it's kind of a modern thing really to have this sort of attitude towards power that like somebody who's just seeking it must necessarily have suspicious motivations. If Moses believed, and in fact, he was probably right in believing that he was just much more effective at building public works for the people that live in New York, was it irrational of him or was it selfish of him to just desire to work 14 hour days for 40 years on end in order to accumulate the power by which he could build more public works? So there's a way of looking at it where this pursuit of power is not itself troubling.Kenneth Jackson 0:15:36Well, first of all, I just need to make a point that it's not just New York City. I mean, Jones Beach is on Long Island. A lot of those highways, the Northern State Parkway, the Southern State Parkway are built outside the city and also big projects, the Power Authority in upstate New York. He also was consultant around the world in cities and transportation. So his influence was really felt far beyond New York City. And of course, New York City is so big and so important. I think also that we might want to think about, at least I think so, what do I say, the counterfactual argument. Can you imagine? I can remember when I was in the Air Force, we lived next door to a couple from New York City. We didn't know New York City at the time. And I can't remember whether she or he was from the Bronx or Brooklyn, but they had they made us understand how incredibly much he must have loved her to go to Brooklyn or the Bronx to see her and pick her up for days and stuff like this. You couldn't get there. I mean, it would take you three hours to go from the Rockaways in Brooklyn to somewhere in the Northern Bronx. But the roads that Moses built, you know, I know at rush hour they're jammed, but you know, right this minute on a Sunday, you can whiz around New York City on these expressways that Moses built. It's hard to imagine New York without. The only thing Moses didn't do was the subway, and many people have criticized him because the subways were deteriorated between the time they were built in the early part of the 20th century in 1974 when Carol wrote to Power Broker. But so had public transit systems all over the United States. And the public transit system in New York is now better than it was 50 years ago. So that trajectory has changed. And all these other cities, you know, Pittsburgh used to have 600,000 people. Now it has 300,000. Cleveland used to have 900,000 and something. Now it's below five. Detroit used to have two million. Now it's 600 something thousand. St. Louis used to have 850,000. Now it's three hundreds. I mean, the steep drop in all these other cities in the Midwest and Northeast, even Washington and even Boston and Philadelphia, they all declined except New York City, which even though it was way bigger than any of them in 1950 is bigger now than it was then. More people crammed into this small space. And Moses had something to do with that.0:18:22 Would NYC Have Fallen Without Moses?Dwarkesh Patel 0:18:22Yeah, yeah, yeah. You write in the book and I apologize for quoting you back to yourself, but you write, had the city not undertaken a massive program of public works between 1924 and 1970, had it not built the arterial highway system and had it not relocated 200,000 people from old law tenements to new public housing projects, New York would not have been able to claim in the 1990s that it was a capital of the 20th century. I would like to make this connection more explicit. So what is the reason for thinking that if New York hadn't done urban renewal and hadn't built the more than 600 miles of highways that Moses built there, that New York would have declined like these other cities in the Northeast and the Midwest?Kenneth Jackson 0:19:05Well, I mean, you could argue, first of all, and friends of mine have argued this, that New York is not like other cities. It's a world city and has been and what happens to the rest of the United States is, I accept a little bit of that, but not all of it. You say, well, New York is just New York. And so whatever happens here is not necessarily because of Moses or different from Detroit, but I think it's important to realize its history has been different from other American cities. Most American cities, especially the older cities, have been in relative decline for 75 years. And in some ways New York has too. And it was its relative dominance of the United States is less now than because there's been a shift south and west in the United States. But the prosperity of New York, the desire of people to live in it, and after all, one of its problems is it's so expensive. Well, one reason it's expensive is people want to live there. If they didn't want to live there, it would be like Detroit. It'd be practically free. You know what I mean? So there are answers to these issues. But Moses' ways, I think, were interesting. First of all, he didn't worry about legalities. He would start an expressway through somebody's property and dare a judge to tell him to stop after the construction had already started. And most of the time, Moses, he was kind of like Hitler. It was just, I don't mean to say he was like Hitler. What I mean is, but you have such confidence. You just do things and dare other people to change it. You know what I mean? I'm going to do it. And most people don't have that. I think there's a little bit of that in Trump, but not as much. I mean, I don't think he has nearly the genius or brains of Moses. But there's something to self-confidence. There's something to having a broad vision. Moses liked cities, but he didn't like neighborhoods or people. In other words, I don't think he loved New York City. Here's the person who is more involved. He really thought everybody should live in suburbs and drive cars. And that was the world of the future. And he was going to make that possible. And he thought all those old law tenements in New York, which is really anything built before 1901, were slums. And they didn't have hot and cold water. They often didn't have bathrooms. He thought they should be destroyed. And his vision was public housing, high-rise public housing, was an improvement. Now I think around the United States, we don't think these high-rise public housing projects are so wonderful. But he thought he was doing the right thing. And he was so arrogant, he didn't listen to people like Jane Jacobs, who fought him and said, you're saying Greenwich Village is a slum? Are you kidding me? I mean, he thought it was a slum. Go to Greenwich Village today. Try to buy anything for under a million dollars. I mean, it doesn't exist. You know what I mean? I mean, Greenwich Village, and he saw old things, old neighborhoods, walking, is hopelessly out of date. And he was wrong. He was wrong about a lot of his vision. And now we understand that. And all around the country, we're trying to revitalize downtowns and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and gasoline and cars. But Moses didn't see the world that way. It's interesting. He never himself drove a car. Can you believe that the man who had more influence on the American car culture, probably even than Henry Ford, himself was always driven. He was chauffeured. In fact, he was so busy that Carol talks about him as having two limousines behind each other. And he would have a secretary in one, and he would be dealing with business and writing letters and things like this. And then she would have all she could do. They would pull off to the side of the road. She would get out of his car. The car that was following would discharge the secretary in that car. They would switch places. And the fresh secretary would get in the backseat, Moses, and they would continue to work. And the first secretary would go to type up whatever she had to do. He worked all the time. He really didn't have much of a private life. There are not many people like Robert Moses. There are people like Robert Moses, but not so many, and he achieved his ideal. I think that there are so many ironies there. Not only did he not drive himself, he didn't appreciate so much the density of New York, which many people now love, and it's getting more dense. They're building tall buildings everywhere. And he didn't really appreciate the diversity, the toleration. He didn't care about that, but it worked. And I just think we have to appreciate the fact that he did what was impossible, really impossible, and nobody else could have done what he did. And if we hadn't done it then, he sure as heck wouldn't be able to do it in the 21st century, when people are even more litigious. You try to change the color of a door in New York City, and there'll be—you try to do something positive, like build a free swimming pool, fix up an old armory and turn it into a public—there'll be people who'll fight you. I'm not kidding this. And Moses didn't care. He says, I'm going to do this. When he built the Cross Bronx Expressway, which in some ways is—it was horrible what he did to these people, but again, Carol mischaracterizes what happened. But it's a dense working class—let's call it Jewish neighborhood—in the early 1950s. And Roses decides we need an interstate highway or a big highway going right through it. Well, he sent masses of people letters that said, get out in 90 days. He didn't mean 91 days. He meant—he didn't mean let's argue about it for four years. Let's go to legit—Moses meant the bulldozers will be bulldozing. And that kind of attitude, we just don't have anymore. And it's kind of funny now to think back on it, but it wasn't funny to the people who got evicted. But again, as I say, it's hard to imagine a New York City without the Cross Bronx Expressway. They tore down five blocks of dense buildings, tore them down, and built this road right through it. You live—and they didn't worry about where they were going to rehouse them. I mean, they did, but it didn't work. And now it's so busy, it's crowded all the time. So what does this prove? That we need more roads? But you can't have more roads in New York because if you build more roads, what are you going to do with the cars? Right now, the problem is there are so many cars in the city, there's nothing to do. It's easy to get around in New York, but what are you going to do with the car? You know, the car culture has the seeds of its own destruction. You know, cars just parking them or putting them in a garage is a problem. And Moses didn't foresee those. He foreseed you're all going to live in the Long Island suburbs or Westchester suburbs or New Jersey suburbs. Park your car in your house and come in the city to work. Now, the city is becoming a place to live more than a place to work. So what they're doing in New York as fast as they can is converting office buildings into residential units. He would never have seen that, that people would want to live in the city, had options that they would reject a single family house and choose high rise and choose the convenience of going outside and walking to a delicatessen over the road, driving to a grocery store. It's a world he never saw.0:27:31 Moses the Startup Founder?Dwarkesh Patel 0:27:31Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like the thing you pointed out earlier about him having the two limousines and then the enormous work ethic and then the 90 day eviction. I mean, I'm a programmer and I can recognize this trope immediately. Right. Robert Moses was a startup founder, but in government, you know, that attitude is like, yeah, it's like Silicon Valley. That's like we all recognize that.Kenneth Jackson 0:27:54And I think we should we should we should go back to what you said earlier about why was it that governors or mayors couldn't tell him what to do? Because there are many scenes in the power broker where he will go to the mayor who wants to do something else. And Moses would, damn it. He'd say, damn it, throw his pages on the desk and say, sign this. This is my resignation. You know, OK. And I'm out of here because the mayors and governors love to open bridges and highways and and do it efficiently and beautifully. And Moses could do that. Moses could deliver. And the workers loved him because he paid union wages, good wages to his workers. And he got things done and and things like more than 700 playgrounds. And it wasn't just grand things. And even though people criticize the 1964 World's Fair as a failure and financially it was a failure, but still tens of millions of people went there and had a good time. You know, I mean, even some of the things were supposedly were failures. Failures going to home, according to the investment banker, maybe, but not to the people who went there.Dwarkesh Patel 0:29:20Right. Yeah. And I mean, the point about the governors and mayors needing him, it was especially important to have somebody who could like work that fast. If you're going to get reelected in four years or two years, you need somebody who can get public works done faster than they're done today. Right. If you want to be there for the opening. Yeah, exactly.Kenneth Jackson 0:29:36And it's important to realize, to say that Moses did try public office once.Dwarkesh Patel 0:29:41Yeah.Kenneth Jackson 0:29:42And I think it's true that he lost by more than anybody in the history of New York. He was not, you know, he was not an effective public speaker. He was not soft and friendly and warm and cuddly. That's not Robert Moses. The voters rejected him. But the people who had power and also Wall Street, because you had to issue bonds. And one of the ways that Moses had power was he created this thing called the Traverse Bridge and Tunnel Authority to build the Traverse Bridge. Well, now, if in Portland, Oregon, you want to build a bridge or a road, you issue a couple hundred million dollars worth of bonds to the public and assign a value to it. Interest rate is paid off by the revenue that comes in from the bridge or the road or whatever it is. Normally, before, normally you would build a public works and pay for it itself on a user fees. And when the user fees paid it off, it ended. But what Moses, who was called the best bill drafter in Albany, which was a Moses term, he said he was somewhere down in paragraph 13, Section G, say, and the chairman can only be removed for cause. What that meant was when you buy a bond for the Traverse Bridge or something else, you're in a contract, supported by the Supreme Court. This is a financial deal you're making with somebody. And part of the contract was the chairman gets to stay unless he does something wrong. Well, Moses was careful not to do anything wrong. And it also would continue. You would get the bond for the Traverse Bridge, but rather than pay off the Traverse Bridge, he would build another project. It would give him the right to continually build this chain of events. And so he had this massive pot of money from all these initially nickels and dimes. Brazil made up a lot of money, the 30s and 40s and 50s and 60s, to spend more money and build more bridges and build more roads. And that's where he had his power. And the Wall Street, the big business loved him because they're issuing the bonds. The unions loved him because they're paying the investors. Now what Carroll says is that Moses allowed the investors an extra quarter percent, I think a quarter percent or half percent on bonds, but they all sold out. So everybody was happy. And was that crooked? It wasn't really illegal. But it's the way people do that today. If you're issuing a bond, you got to figure out what interest am I going to pay on this that will attract investors now.0:32:34 The Case Against Moses HighwaysDwarkesh Patel 0:32:34And the crucial thing about these tales of graft is that it never was about Moses trying to get rich. It was always him trying to push through a project. And obviously that can be disturbing, but it is a completely different category of thing, especially when you remember that this was like a corrupt time in New York history. It was like after Tammany Hall and so on. So it's a completely different from somebody using their projects to get themselves rich. But I do want to actually talk in more detail about the impact of these roads. So obviously we can't, the current system we have today where we just kind of treat cities as living museums with NIMBYism and historical preservation, that's not optimal. But there are examples, at least of Carroll's, about Moses just throwing out thousands of people carelessly, famously in that chapter on the one mile, how Moses could have diverted the cross Bronx expressway one mile and prevented thousands of people from getting needlessly evicted. So I'm just going to list off a few criticisms of his highway building and then you can respond to them in any order you want. So one of the main criticisms that Carroll makes is that Moses refused to add mass transit to his highways, which would have helped deal with the traffic problem and the car problem and all these other problems at a time when getting the right of way and doing the construction would have been much cheaper. Because of his dislike for mass transit, he just refused to do that. And also the prolific building of highways contributed to urban sprawl, it contributed to congestion, it contributed to neighborhoods getting torn apart if a highway would crossKenneth Jackson 0:34:18them.Dwarkesh Patel 0:34:19So a whole list of criticisms of these highways. I'll let you take it in any order you want.Kenneth Jackson 0:34:27Well first of all, Moses response was, I wasn't in charge of subways. So if you think the subways deteriorated or didn't build enough, find out who was in charge of them and blame that person. I was in charge of highways and I built those. So that's the first thing.Dwarkesh Patel 0:34:41But before you answer that, can I just ask, so on that particular point, it is true that he wasn't in charge of mass transit, but also he wasn't in charge of roads until he made himself responsible for roads, right? So if he chose to, he could have made himself responsible for mass transit and taken careKenneth Jackson 0:34:56of it. Maybe, although I think the other thing about it is putting Moses in a broader historical concept. He was swimming with the tide of history. In other words, history when he was building, was building Ford Motor Company and General Motors and Chrysler Corporation and building cars by the millions. I mean, the automobile industry in the United States was huge. People thought any kind of rail transit was obsolete and on the way out anyway. So let's just build roads. I mean, that's what the public wanted. He built what the public wanted. It's not what I was looking historically. I don't think we did the right thing, but we needed to join the 20th century. New York could have stayed as a quaint, I don't know, quaint is not the right word, but it's a distinctly different kind of place where everybody walks. I just don't think it would have been the same kind of city because there are people who are attached to their cars in New York. And so the sprawl in New York, which is enormous, nobody's saying it wasn't, spreads over 31 counties, an area about as large as the state of Connecticut, about as large as the Netherlands is metropolitan New York. But it's still relatively, I don't want to say compact, but everybody knows where the center is. It's not that anybody grows up in New York at 16 and thinks that the world is in some mall, you know, three miles away. They all know there is a center and that's where it is. It's called Manhattan. And that's New York and Moses didn't change that for all of his roads. There's still in New York a definite center, skyscrapers and everything in the middle. And it's true, public transit did decline. But you know those, and I like Chicago, by the way, and they have a rail transit from O'Hare down to Dan Ryan, not to Dan Ryan, but the JFK Expressway, I think. And it works sort of, but you got to walk a ways to get on. You got to walk blocks to get in the middle of the expressway and catch the train there. It's not like in New York where you just go down some steps. I mean, New York subway is much bigger than Chicago and more widely used and more. And the key thing about New York, and so I think what Carol was trying to explain and your question suggests this, is was Moses responsible for the decline of public transit? Well, he was building cars and roads and bridges. So in that sense, a little bit, yes. But if you look at New York compared to the rest of the United States, it used to be that maybe 20 percent of all the transit riders in the United States were in the New York area. Now it's 40 percent. So if you're looking at the United States, what you have to explain is why is New York different from the rest of the United States? Why is it that when I was chairman or president of the New York Historical Society, we had rich trustees, and I would tell them, well, I got here on a subway or something. They would think, I would say, how do you think I got here? Do you know what I mean? I mean, these are people who are close to billionaires and they're saying they used the subway. If you're in lower Manhattan and you're trying to get to Midtown and it's raining, it's five o'clock, you've got to be a fool to try to get in your own limousine. It isn't going to get you there very quickly. A subway will. So there are reasons for it. And I think Moses didn't destroy public transit. He didn't help it. But his argument was he did. And that's an important distinction, I think. But he was swimming with history. He built what the public wanted. I think if he had built public transit, he would have found it tougher to build. Just for example, Cincinnati built a subway system, a tunnel all through the city. It never has opened. They built it. You can still see the holes in the ground where it's supposed to come out. By the time they built it, people weren't riding trains anymore. And so it's there now and they don't know what to do with it. And that's 80 years ago. So it's a very complicated—I don't mean to make these issues. They're much more complex than I'm speaking of. And I just think it's unfair to blame Moses for the problems of the city. I think he did as much as anybody to try to bring the city into the 21st century, which he didn't live to. But you've got to adopt. You've got to have a hybrid model in the world now. And I think the model that America needs to follow is a model where we reduce our dependence on the cars and somehow ride buses more or use the internet more or whatever it is, but stop using so much fossil fuels so that we destroy our environment. And New York, by far, is the most energy efficient place in the United States. Mainly because you live in tall buildings, you have hot floors. It doesn't really cost much to heat places because you're heating the floor below you and above you. And you don't have outside walls. And you walk. New Yorkers are thinner. Many more people take buses and subways in New York than anywhere else in the United States, not just in absolute terms, in relative terms. So they're helping. It's probably a healthier lifestyle to walk around. And I think we're rediscovering it. For example, if you come to New York between Thanksgiving and Christmas, there's so many tourists in the city. I'm not making this up. That there is gridlock on the sidewalks around. The police have to direct the traffic. And in part, it's because a Detroit grandmother wants to bring her granddaughter to New York to see what Hudson's, which is a great department store in Detroit or in any city. We could be rich as in Atlanta, Fox, G Fox and Hartford. Every city had these giant department and windows where the Santa Claus is and stuff like this. You can still go to New York and see that. You can say, Jane, this is the way it used to be in Detroit. People ringing the bells and looking at the store windows and things like that. A mall can't recapture that. It just can't. You try, but it's not the same thing. And so I think that in a way, Moses didn't not only did he not destroy New York. I think he gets a little bit of credit for saving it because it might have been on the way to Detroit. Again, I'm not saying that it would have been Detroit because Detroit's almost empty. But Baltimore wasn't just Baltimore, it's Cleveland. It's every place. There's nobody there anymore. And even in New York, the department stores have mostly closed, not all of them. And so it's not the same as it was 80 years ago, but it's closer to it than anywhere else.Dwarkesh Patel 0:42:16OK, so yes, I'm actually very curious to get your opinion on the following question. Given the fact that you are an expert on New York history and you know, you've written the encyclopedia, literally written the encyclopedia on New York City.Kenneth Jackson 0:42:30800 people wrote the encyclopedia. I just took all the credit for it.Dwarkesh Patel 0:42:34I was the editor in chief. So I'm actually curious, is Caro actually right that you talked about the importance just earlier about counterfactual history. So I'm curious if Caro is actually right about the claim that the neighborhoods through which Moses built his highways were destroyed in a way that neighborhoods which were in touch by the highways weren't. Sorry for the confusing phrasing there. But basically, was there like a looking back on all these neighborhoods? Is there a clear counterfactual negative impact on the neighborhoods in which Moses built his highways and bridges and so on?Kenneth Jackson 0:43:10Well, Moses, I mean, Caro makes that argument mostly about East Tremont and places like that in the Bronx where the Cross Bronx Expressway passed through. And he says this perfectly wonderful Jewish neighborhood that was not racially prejudiced and everybody was happy and not leaving was destroyed by Moses. Well, first of all, as a historian of New York City, or for that matter, any city, if a student comes to you and says, that's what I found out, you said, well, you know, that runs counter to the experience of every city. So let's do a little more work on that. Well, first of all, if you look at the census tracts or the residential security maps of S.H.A. You know, it's not true. First of all, the Jews were leaving and had nothing to do with the thing. They didn't love blacks. And also, if you look at other Jewish, and the Bronx was called the Jewish borough at the time, those neighborhoods that weren't on the Cross Bronx Expressway all emptied out mostly. So the Bronx itself was a part of New York City that followed the pattern of Detroit and Baltimore and Cleveland. Bronx is now coming back, but it's a different place. So I think it's, well, I've said this in public and I'll pay you for this. Carol wouldn't know those neighborhoods if he landed there by parachute. They're much better than he ever said they were. You know, he acted like if you went outside near the Bronx County Courthouse, you needed a wagon train to go. I mean, I've taken my students there dozens of times and shown them the people, the old ladies eating on the benches and stuff like this. Nobody's mugging them. You know, he just has an outsider's view. He didn't know the places he was writing about. But I think Carol was right about some things. Moses was personally a jerk. You can make it stronger than that, but I mean, he was not your friendly grandfather. He was arrogant. He was self-centered. He thought he knew the truth and you don't. He was vindictive, ruthless, but some of those were good. You know, now his strategies, his strategies in some were good. He made people building a beach or a building feel like you're building a cathedral. You're building something great and I'm going to pay you for it and let's make it good. Let's make it as best as we can. That itself is a real trick. How do you get people to think of their jobs as more than a job, as something else? Even a beach or a wall or something like that to say it's good. He also paid them, so that's important that he does that and he's making improvements. He said he was improving things for the people. I don't know if you want to talk about Jane Jacobs, who was his nemesis. I tend to vote with Jane Jacobs. Jane Jacobs and I agree on a lot of things or did before she died a few years ago. Jane Jacobs saw the city as intricate stores and people living and walking and knowing each other and eyes on the street and all these kinds of things. Moses didn't see that at all. He saw the city as a traffic problem. How do we tear this down and build something big and get people the hell out of here? That was a mistake. Moses made mistakes. What Moses was doing was what everybody in the United States was doing, just not as big and not as ruthless and not as quick. It was not like Moses built a different kind of world that exists in Kansas City. That's exactly what they did in Kansas City or every other city. Blow the damn roads to the black neighborhoods, build the expressway interchanges, my hometown of Memphis crisscrossed with big streets, those neighborhoods gone. They're even more extensive in places like Memphis and Kansas City and New Orleans than they are in New York because New York builds relatively fewer of them. Still huge what he built. You would not know from the power broker that Los Angeles exists. Actually Los Angeles was building freeways too. Or he says that New York had more federal money. Then he said, well, not true. I've had students work on Chicago and Chicago is getting more money per person than New York for some of these projects. Some of the claims, no doubt he got those from Moses' own records. If you're going to write a book like this, you got to know what's going on other places. Anyway, let's go back to your questions.Dwarkesh Patel 0:48:10No, no. That was one of the things I was actually going to ask you about, so I was glad to get your opinion on that. You know, actually, I've been preparing for this interview and trying to learn more about the impact of these different projects. I was trying to find the economic literature on the value of these highways. There was a National Bureau of Economic Research paper by Morgan Foy, or at least a digest by Morgan Foy, where he's talking about the economic gains from highways. He says, the gains tend to be largest in areas where roads connect large economic hubs where few alternative routes exist. He goes on to say, two segments near New York City have welfare benefits exceeding $500 million a year. Expanding the Long Island Expressway had an estimated economic value of $719 million, which I think was Moses. He says, of the top 10 segments with the highest rate of return, seven are in New York City area. It turns out that seven of the top 10 most valuable highway segments in America are in New York. Reading that, it makes me suspect that there must have been... The way Cairo paints Moses' planning process, it's just very impulsive and feelings-based and almost in some cases, out of malice towards poor people. Given that a century later, it seems that many of the most valuable tracks of highways were planned and built exactly how Moses envisioned, it makes you think that there was some sort of actual intelligent deliberation and thought that was put into where they were placed.Kenneth Jackson 0:50:32I think that's true. I'm not saying that the automobile didn't have an economic impact. That's what Moses was building for. He would probably endorse that idea. I think that what we're looking at now in the 21st century is the high value put on places that Moses literally thought were something. He was going to run an expressway from Brooklyn through lower Manhattan to New Jersey and knock down all these buildings in Greenwich Village that people love now. Love. Even movie stars, people crowd into those neighborhoods to live and that he saw it as a slum. Well, Moses was simply wrong and Cairo puts him to task for that. I think that's true.0:51:24 The Rise of NIMBYismDwarkesh Patel 0:51:24Okay. Professor Jackson, now I want to discuss how the process of city planning and building projects has changed since Moses' time. We spent some good amount of time actually discussing what it was like, what Moses actually did in his time. Last year, I believe, you wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal talking about how the 27-story building in Manhattan was put in limbo because the parking lot, which we would replace, was part of a historic district. What is it like to actually build a skyscraper or a highway or a bridge or anything of that sort in today's New York City?Kenneth Jackson 0:52:06Well, I do think in the larger context, it's probably fair to say it's tougher to build in New York City than any other city. I mean, yeah, a little precious suburb, you may not deploy a skyscraper, but I mean, as far as the city is concerned, there'll be more opposition in New York than anywhere else.It's more dense, so just to unload and load stuff to build a building, how do you do that? You know, trucks have to park on the street. Everything is more complicated and thus more expensive. I think a major difference between Robert Moses' time and our own, in Robert Moses' time, historic preservation was as yet little known and little understood and little supported. And the view generally was building is good, roads are good, houses are good, and they're all on the way to a more modern and better world. We don't have the same kind of faith in the future that they did. We kind of like it like it is. Let's just sit on it. So I think we should say that Moses had an easier time of it than he would have had he lived today. It still wasn't an easy time, but easier than today. Yeah.Dwarkesh Patel 0:53:40Well, actually, can you talk more about what that change in, I guess, philosophy has been since then? I feel like that's been one of the themes of this podcast, to see how our cultural attitude towards progress and technology have changed.Kenneth Jackson 0:53:54Well, I think one reason why the power broker, Robert Carroll's famous book, received such popular acclaim is it fits in with book readers' opinions today, which is old is better. I mean, also, you got to think about New York City. If you say it's a pre-war apartment, you mean it's a better apartment. The walls are solid plaster, not fiber or board and stuff like that. So old has a reverence in New York that doesn't have in Japan. In Japan, they tear down houses every 15 years. So it's a whole different thing. We tend to, in this new country, new culture, we tend to value oldness in some places, especially in a place that's old like New York City. I mean, most Americans don't realize that New York is not only the most dense American city and the largest, but also really the oldest. I mean, I know there's St. Augustine, but that's taking the concept of what's a city to a pretty extreme things. And then there's Jamestown and Virginia, but there's nobody there, literally nobody there. And then where the pilgrims landed in Massachusetts, Plymouth plantation, that's totally rebuilt as a kind of a theme park. So for a place that's a city, it's Santa Fe a little bit in New Mexico, but it was a wide place on the road until after World War II. So the places that would be also, if you think cities, New York is really old and it's never valued history, but the historic preservation movement here is very strong.Dwarkesh Patel 0:55:33What is the reason for its resurgence? Is it just that, because I mean, it's had a big impact on many cities, right? Like I'm in San Francisco right now, and obviously like you can't tear down one of these Victorian houses to build the housing that like the city massively needs. Why have we like gained a reverence for anything that was built before like 80 years?Kenneth Jackson 0:55:56Because just think of the two most expensive places in the United States that could change a little bit from year to year, but usually San Francisco and New York. And really if you want to make it more affordable, if you want to drop the price of popsicles on your block, sell more popsicles. Have more people selling popsicles and the price will fall. But somehow they say they're going to build luxury housing when actually if you build any housing, it'll put downward pressure on prices, even at super luxury. But anyway, most Americans don't understand that. So they oppose change and especially so in New York and San Francisco on the basis that change means gentrification. And of course there has been a lot of gentrification. In World War II or right after, San Francisco was a working class city. It really was. And huge numbers of short and longshoremen live there. Now San Francisco has become the headquarters really in Silicon Valley, but a headquarters city is a tech revolution and it's become very expensive and very homeless. It's very complex. Not easy to understand even if you're in the middle of it.Dwarkesh Patel 0:57:08Yeah. Yeah. So if we could get a Robert Moses back again today, what major mega project do you think New York needs today that a Moses like figure could build?Kenneth Jackson 0:57:22Well if you think really broadly and you take climate change seriously, as I think most people do, probably to build some sort of infrastructure to prevent rising water from sinking the city, it's doable. You'd have to, like New Orleans, in order to save New Orleans you had to flood Mississippi and some other places. So usually there is a downside somewhere, but you could, that would be a huge project to maybe build a bridge, not a bridge, a land bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan to prevent water coming in from the ocean because New York is on the ocean. And to think of something like that's really big. Some of the other big infrastructure projects, like they're talking about another tunnel under the river, Hudson River from New Jersey to New York, the problem with that is there are already too many cars in Manhattan. Anything that makes it easier to bring cars into Manhattan because if you've not been to New York you don't really understand this, but there's no place for anything. And if you bring more cars in, what are you going to do with them? If you build parking garages for all the cars that could come into the city, then you'd be building over the whole city. There'd be no reason to come here because it would all be parking garages or parking lots. So New York City simply won't work if you reduce the density or you get rid of underground transportation because it's all about people moving around underneath the streets and not taking up space as they do it. So it won't work. And of course, it's not the only city. Tokyo wouldn't work either or lots of cities in the world won't work increasingly without not just public transportation but underground public transportation where you can get it out of the way of traffic and stuff like that. Moses probably could have done that. He wouldn't have loved it as much as he loved bridges because he wanted you to see what he built. And there was an argument in the power broker, but he didn't really want the Brooklyn battle very tunnel built because he wanted to build a bridge that everybody could see. So he may not have done it with such enthusiasm. I actually believe that Moses was first and foremost a builder. He really wanted to build things, change things. If you said, we'll pay you to build tunnels, I think he would have built tunnels. Who knows? He never was offered that. That wasn't the time in which he lived. Yeah. Okay.Dwarkesh Patel 1:00:04And I'm curious if you think that today to get rid of, I guess the red tape and then the NIMBYism, would it just be enough for one man to accumulate as much influence as Moses had and then to push through some things or does that need to be some sort of systemic reform? Because when Moses took power, of course there was ours also that Tammany Hall machine that he had to run through, right? Is that just what's needed today to get through the bureaucracy or is something more needed?Kenneth Jackson 1:00:31Well, I don't think Robert Moses with all of his talents and personality, I don't think he could do in the 21st century what he did in the middle of the 20th century. I think he would have done a lot, maybe more than anybody else. But also I think his methods, his really bullying messages, really, really, he bullied people, including powerful people. I don't think that would work quite as easy today, but I do think we need it today. And I think even today, we found even now we have in New York, just the beginnings of leftists. I'm thinking of AOC, the woman who led the campaign against Amazon in New York saying, well, we need some development. If we want to make housing more affordable, somebody has got to build something. It's not that we've got more voter because you say you want affordable housing. You got to build affordable housing and especially you got to build more of it. So we have to allow people, we have to overturn the NIMBYism to say, well, even today for all of our concern about environmental change, we have to work together. I mean, in some ways we have to believe that we're in some ways in the same boat and it won't work if we put more people in the boat, but don't make the boat any bigger. Yeah.Dwarkesh Patel 1:01:59But when people discuss Moses and the power accumulated, they often talk about the fact that he took so much power away from democratically elected officials and the centralized so much power in himself. And obviously the power broker talks a great deal about the harms of that kind of centralization. But I'm curious having studied the history of New York, what are the benefits if there can be one coordinated cohesive plan for the entire city? So if there's one person who's designing all the bridges, all the highways, all the parks, is something more made possible that can be possible if like multiple different branches and people have their own unique visions? I don't know if that question makes sense.Kenneth Jackson 1:02:39That's a big question. And you've got to put a lot of trust into the grand planner, especially if a massive area of 20, 25 million people, bigger than the city, I'm not sure what you're really talking about. I think that in some ways we've gone too far in the ability to obstruct change, to stop it. And we need change. I mean, houses deteriorate and roads deteriorate and sewers deteriorate. We have to build into our system the ability to improve them. And now in New York we respond to emergencies. All of a sudden a water main breaks, the street collapses and then they stop everything, stop the water main break and repair the street and whatever it is. Meanwhile in a hundred other places it's leaking, it's just not leaking enough to make the road collapse. But the problem is there every day, every minute. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.1:03:44 Is Progress CyclicalDwarkesh Patel 1:03:44I'm curious, as a professor, I mean you've studied American history. Do you just see this as a cyclical thing where you have periods where maybe one person has too much power to periods where there's dispersed vitocracy and sclerosis and then you're just going to go through these cycles? Or how do you see that in the grand context of things, how do you see where we are, where we were during Moses and where we might be in the future?Kenneth Jackson 1:04:10Well you're right to say that much of life is cyclical. And there is a swing back and forth. But having said that, I think the person like Robert Moses is unusual, partly because he might have gone on to become a hedge fund person or didn't have hedge funds when he was around. But you know, new competitor to Goldman Sachs, I mean he could have done a lot of things, maybe been a general. He wanted to have power and control. And I think that's harder to accumulate now. We have too much power. You can demonstrate and you can stop anything. We love demonstrations in the United States. We respect them. We see it as a visible expression of our democracy, is your ability to get on the streets and block the streets. But you know, still you have to get to work. I mean at some point in the day you've got to do something. And yeah, Hitler could have done a lot of things if he wanted to. He could have made Berlin into a... But you know, if you have all the power, Hitler had a lot of it. If he turned Berlin into a colossal city, he was going to make it like Washington but half-sive. Well Washington has already got its own issues. The buildings are too big. Government buildings don't have life on the street and stuff like this. Like Hitler would destroy it forever because you build a monumental city that's not for people. And I think that was probably one of Moses' weak points is unlike Jane Jacobs who saw people. Moses didn't see people. He saw bridges. He saw highways. He saw tunnels. He saw rivers. He saw the city as a giant traffic problem. Jane Jacobs, who was a person without portfolio most of her life except of her own powers of judgment and persuasion, she thought, well what is the shoe repairman got to do with the grocery store, got to do with the school, got to do with something else? She saw what Moses didn't see. She saw the intricacies of the city. He saw a giant landscape. She saw the block, just the block.Dwarkesh Patel 1:06:45Yeah there's a common trope about socialist and communist which is that they love humanity in the abstract but they hate people as individuals. And it's like I guess one way to describe Robert Moses. It actually kind of reminds me of one of my relatives that's a doctor and he's not exactly a people person. And he says like, you know, I hate like actually having to talk to the patients about like, you know, like ask them questions. I just like the actual detective work of like what is going on, looking at the charts and figuring out doing the diagnosis. Are you optimistic about New York? Do you think that in the continuing towards the end of the 21st century and into the 22nd century, it will still be the capital of the world or what do you think is the future ofKenneth Jackson 1:07:30the city? Well, The Economist, which is a major publication that comes out of England, recently predicted that London and New York would be in 2100 what they are today, which is the capitals of the world. London is not really a major city in terms of population, probably under 10 million, much smaller than New York and way smaller than Tokyo. But London has a cosmopolitan, heterogeneous atmosphere within the rule of law. What London and New York both offer, which Shanghai doesn't or Hong Kong doesn't at the moment is a system so if you disagree, you're not going to disappear. You know what I mean? It's like there's some level of guarantee that personal safety is sacred and you can say what you want. I think that's valuable. It's very valuable. And I think the fact that it's open to newcomers, you can't find a minority, so minority that they don't have a presence in New York and a physical presence. I mean, if you're from Estonia, which has got fewer people than New York suburbs, I mean individual New York suburbs, but there's an Estonian house, there's Estonian restaurants, there's, you know, India, Pakistan, every place has got an ethnic presence. If you want it, you can have it. You want to merge with the larger community, merge with it. That's fine. But if you want to celebrate your special circumstances, it's been said that New York is everybody's second home because you know if you come to New York, you can find people just like yourself and speaking your language and eating your food and going to your religious institution. I think that's going to continue and I think it's not only what makes the United States unusual, there are a few other places like it. Switzerland is like it, but the thing about Switzerland that's different from the United States is there are parts of Switzerland that are most of it's Swiss German and parts of it's French, but they stay in their one places, you know what I mean? So they speak French here and they speak German there. You know, Arizona and Maine are not that different demographically in the United States. Everybody has shuffled the deck several times and so I think that's what makes New York unique. In London too. Paris a little bit. You go to the Paris underground, you don't even know what language you're listening to. I think to be a great city in the 21st century, and by the way, often the Texas cities are very diverse, San Francisco, LA, very diverse. It's not just New York. New York kind of stands out because it's bigger and because the neighborhoods are more distinct. Anybody can see them. I think that's, and that's what Robert Moses didn't spend any time thinking about. He wasn't concerned with who was eating at that restaurant. Wasn't important, or even if there was a restaurant, you know? Whereas now, the move, the slow drift back towards cities, and I'm predicting that the pandemic will not have a permanent influence. I mean, the pandemic is huge and it's affected the way people work and live and shop and have recreation. So I'm not trying to blow it off like something else, but I think in the long run, we are social animals. We want to be with each other. We need each other, especially if you're young, you want to be with potential romantic partners. But even other people are drawn. Just a few days ago, there was a horrible tragedy in Seoul, Korea. That's because 100,000 young people are drawn to each other. They could have had more room to swing their arms, but they wanted to crowd into this one alley because that's where other people were. They wanted to go where other people were. That's a lot about the appeal of cities today. We've been in cars and we've been on interstate highways. At the end of the day, we're almost like cats. We want to get together at night and sleep on each other or with each other. I think that's the ultimate. It's not for everybody. Most people would maybe rather live in a small town or on the top of a mountain, but there's a percentage of people. Let's call it 25% who really want to be part of the tumble in the tide and want to be things mixed up. They will always want to be in a place like New York. There are other places, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia a little bit. They're not mainly in the United States, but in Europe, Copenhagen. Copenhagen is not a big city, neither is Prague, but they have urbanity. New York has urbanity. I think we don't celebrate urbanity as much as we might. The pure joy of being with others.1:12:36 Friendship with CaroDwarkesh Patel 1:12:36Yeah. I'm curious if you ever got a chance to talk to Robert Caro himself about Moses at someKenneth Jackson 1:12:45point. Robert Caro and I were friends. In fact, when the power broker received an award, the Francis Parkman Prize from the Society of American Historians, it turned out we lived near each other in the Bronx. And I drove him home and we became friends and social friends. And I happened to be with him on the day that Robert Moses died. We were with our wives eating out in a neighborhood called Arthur Avenue. The real Little Italy of New York is in the Bronx. It's also called Be

The desire to make a bigger impact and build something of his own then took Ganesan in the direction of entrepreneurship with the establishment of Kyyba, Inc. Ganesan is fuelled by a belief that entrepreneurs make the world a better place for everyone, founding TiECon Detroit - the largest entrepreneurial conference in Michigan. Today, TiE boasts over 56 chapters in at least 13 countries, with a specific focus on supporting women in male-dominated industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and financial services. Additionally, the Kyyba Kidz Foundation uplifts underprivileged women and orphans, providing vital education, skills, and on-the-job training opportunities. Over a 30-year career, Ganesan's ground-breaking work has earned him consistent national recognition, including: Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year finalist (2012, 2013, 2014) and a place among D Business Magazine's “Detroit 500” most powerful business leaders. On any given weekday morning, Ganesan can be found in deep meditation and yoga poses before heading into his business ventures. He actively “levels up his comfort zone” with tennis, kayaking, and traveling to new places. After everything he has worked hard to achieve, Ganesan is still convinced that his biggest potential is yet to be realized, and he works hard daily to push the limits of what's possible synonymous with the tagline of Kyyba, make impossible, possible. We discuss: The term ‘comfort zone' is firmly embedded in our everyday cultural discourse – say the metaphor of ‘leaving one's comfort zone' became popular in the 1990s, coined by management thinker Judith Bardwick in her 1991 work Danger in the Comfort Zone: How do you define a comfort zone and surely it varies depending on your risk appetite? Please explain your view and why. Within the comfort zone, there isn't much incentive for people to reach new heights of performance. It's here that people go about routines devoid of risk, causing their progress to plateau. Is that always a bad thing? Can you enhance your own sense of comfort zones and how do you push that beyond your basic level of comfort? How can we make the impossible seem possible and still remain balanced in how we live our lives and not say burnout?

In this On the Move, hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman are rounding up and roping in the stampede of excitement for Mecum's Dallas Auction. Before riding off with thoughts of the Lone Star State, they first detail some of their recent automotive travels. Matt gives his report from being at both the Geneva Concours d'Elegance in Geneva, Illinois, and the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, both of which featured the Mecum Mobile Experience. Meanwhile, John provides his take on the All Pontiac Show held in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. From there, it's on to small talk on trucks, with John getting his first glimpse of the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz and sharing his thoughts on the soon to arrive Ford Maverick light-duty hauler. Next, Matt is thinking pink, sharing the details on the new hue to be available on Jeep Wranglers. Called Tuscadero, the optional color costs $395 and throws back to Roz Kelly's "Happy Days" character Carol "Pinky" Tuscadero. Wrapping up, its discussion of the 2023 Acura Integra and the ultra-hot Corvette Z06. In this episode's second segment, the guys are joined by Chris Theodore. Besides being a former engineering VP at Ford Motor Company and the Chrysler Corporation, Chris was the consigner of the 2004 Ford Shelby Cobra concept codenamed Daisy. The one-of-a-kind vehicle just sold at Mecum's Monterey auction, hammering for a staggering $2.64 million and setting a new bar for late-model production concept vehicles. Chris was on the podcast earlier this summer, but Matt and John want to check back in, eager to hear Chris's emotional journey with him having been so closely involved with the car's creation, including working alongside the legendary Carroll Shelby, as well as how he came to the hard decision to let it go. Rounding out this week's episode, Matt and John are driving hard towards Mecum's upcoming Dallas auction, to be held September 8-11. More than 1,000 vehicles are expected to cross the block with television coverage on NBCSN and live streaming on Peacock. The guys look at all the highlights, including the six collections, and pick out personal favorites. John's clock is punched by a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback that has undergone a concours frame-off, restoration and sports numerous awards including an MCA Gold in "1969-1970 Boss Concours Trailered or Driver Class" at MCA Nationals and a Diamond at Boss Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Meanwhile, Matt is crazy about a 1969 COPO Camaro packing an L72 427 CI V-8 engine. It's been in the care of the same family for the last 45 years and features original Daytona Yellow paint, sheet metal and interior. Matt, a COPO historian and expert, gives his thoughts on what makes these Central Office muscle machines so legendary and why they're ultra-hot with collectors.

Diva Tech Talk interviewed Sunitha Vinnakota, tech/IT security leader for General Motors Company, a trailblazer in automotive solutions for almost a century. Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, global GM employs over 180,000 people; serves customers on 6 continents across 23 time zones in 70 languages; and focuses on pushing the limits of automotive engineering, while maintaining stewardship of the world’s environmental resources. Currently #10 on the Fortune 500 list, GM is the largest U.S. automotive manufacturer, and is led by Mary Barra, the first female CEO of a major automotive company. Sunitha brought 25-plus years of evolving technology skills, intellectual curiosity coupled with drive, and broad business acumen. Sunitha was always interested in technology, encouraged by her mechanical engineer father who urged her to “look at the science all around you.” One of two siblings, growing up near Hyderabad, India, she was fascinated by the logic underlying every invention, tool, process, in her life. All her close male relatives were engineers. Sunitha said, “from childhood, I wanted to do something different from everyone else.” That fascination led her to concentrate on math, physics and computer science. She completed a bachelor’s degree in computer science and master’s degree in computer applications at Osmania University. During university days, Sunitha instructed high school students in math and physics. She moved to teaching Unix at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science; and was offered a professorship at Osmania. However, Sunitha turned down university life in favor of working on the development of SAT and ACT tests, for 11th/12th graders, at Indotronix International. Following her 2000 marriage, Sunitha migrated to Michigan. During that first year, she worked part-time, teaching Java and C# programming, on the weekends. After receiving her H1B visa, she became a Java consultant and developer at Chrysler Corporation, now FCA Group Intl. She then moved to GM as a consultant and systems analyst, deployed by TAC Automotive Group. After the birth of her first daughter, Sunitha took a leave of absence. Then she chose Ford Motor Company, the fifth largest automotive company in the world, where she was a systems analyst and then a business analyst over the next six years. In 2013, Sunitha moved back to General Motors full-time, as a senior business analyst in vehicle ordering and management systems. She mastered that before moving over to learn ecommerce, in-depth. “It was completely new. We were developing an e-commerce application.” After that achievement, she became a “quality evangelist” maintaining the integrity of IT applications in global sales and marketing working with 1100 people across the globe. Then, in 2018, she began to work on cybersecurity for GM, worldwide. She now leads security compliance for 230-plus applications, globally. One of Sunitha’s mantras is that everyone must “stay abreast of the latest technologies today” since data is rapidly exploding. Her job encompasses the breadth of GM technology from the “C suite to application owners to the grassroots” and focuses on ensuring that “GM customers know their information is safe with us.” Sunitha characterized her major strengths as intellectual curiosity, ambition, learning agility, and passion. “Whatever I do, I dive in deep,” she said. She wants her stakeholders to say: “I have given this job to Sunitha. It gets done. I can sleep!” Sunitha was honored by a 2019 IT All Stars Women of Color Award for her work in improving GM application quality by 49% in less than 8 months, achieving 95% in standard compliance in record time. Sunitha’s method of tackling subtle sexism in work situations has always been to “double down.” She increased her skill sets and made a case for traveling, performing at levels above and beyond what is required. Her greatest fear is “not staying abreast of technology. I want to be indispensable.” Sunitha’s words of wisdom for women leaders in technology are: “Don’t be hesitant to explore and learn. It’s ok to fear, and fail, but don’t let it stop you. Don’t be afraid to ask someone” for help or guidance and “don’t be in your comfort zone for long.” Sunitha has benefited from family mentors: her mother, her father and her mother-in-law, who she admires for having overcome many significant obstacles. Since she loves to teach, Sunitha often works with college “mentees” who she urges to explore every opportunity. She also is a big believer in developing strong self-respect, and in pragmatically rewarding yourself for achievements. “Don’t just buy a tech gadget;” ensure that you fully understand the gadget’s use/application and then “feel proud” of yourself. In her community life, Sunitha kicked off the internship program for the Michigan Council of Women In Technology Foundation, and is on the technology advisory board for Canton Michigan high schools. Additionally, on weekends, she teaches business analysis skills online for women. Through that, “I have changed 16 women’s lives, so far,” she stated, because “life is too short; let’s take advantage of it. Don’t give the remote control” away.

Penny Kelly is a writer, teacher, author, publisher, consultant, and Naturopathic physician. Early in her career she was an engineer for Chrysler Corporation but left there in 1979 after a full, spontaneous awakening of kundalini to study the brain, consciousness, intelligence, intuition, and cognition. This was followed by 18 years of work as an educational consultant specializing in Accelerated and Brain-Compatible Teaching and Learning, working with both schools and corporations. After purchasing acreage in 1987, she raised grapes for Welch Foods for a dozen years while also building Lily Hill Farm, now a large B&B. She worked with Dr. Wm. Levengood, biophysicist, for 15 years, studying materials from crop circles and animal mutilations, and researching plasma, energy and consciousness. Penny was involved in Community Gardening in Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, MI through grants from the Kellogg Foundation. She was a member of the Tipping Point Network whose focus is sustainability in all sectors of life and has been a Flow Fund recipient through Marion Rockefeller Weber. She maintains a worldwide counseling and coaching practice, teaches online courses in Developing Intuition, and travels widely to speak and teach. Penny holds a degree in Humanistic Studies from Wayne State University and a degree in Naturopathic Medicine from Clayton College of Natural Health. Back in the late 1970s, Penny was an unemployed mother with four children, on Welfare, trying to study for a premed degree when her life literally began to fall apart. Many things happened, not necessarily in this order: she had a series of kundalini experiences got divorced, and suddenly these little men in brown robes began appearing to her in her kitchen, her bedroom, and her living room and started to show her images of the future. Penny was a reluctant recipient of this stunning information from the Robes and has since then co-written or edited 23 books with others and has written nine books of her own. · The Evolving Human · The Elves of Lily Hill Farm · Robes – A Book of Coming Changes · Getting Well Again, Naturally – From The Soil To The Stomach · Consciousness and Energy, Vol. 1..

I invite people to listen to this interview with an open mind, allowing themselves to hear a viewpoint on current and coming events that may not be something they've heard before or may be uncomfortable hearing. Remember, that ultimately my show is not about politics, but about developing higher consciousness and understanding our world from a higher perspective. Be sure to research your own information and come to your own conclusions. I believe that we are being asked to become more conscious of what we are creating.

Welcome to our third episode of a weekly podcast that we are doing here at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram! In this episode, we talk with the Owner Loyalty Manager of Miracle CDJR, Mike Woodruff. Mike is a Tennessee native, and has lived in Gallatin since 1987. In this episode, Mike talks about our VIP program, and our new service initiative, the Miracle Express Train. He also discusses the pro’s and con’s of purchasing a vehicle online in the digital world that we live in, and revisits the benefits of leasing as we spoke about in Episode 2. Enjoy! Transcript John Haggard: 00:02 Welcome to the Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram podcast, where each week we hope you will be able to learn the best ways to purchase, maintain and accessorize your new or preowned vehicle and how to sell your vehicle for the highest resale value possible, when you’re ready to do so. I’m your host John Haggard and throughout each month, right here we’re going to have different team members join us from Miracle to bring you tips that you can use. And by the way, we will also post a transcript of each podcast so that you can easily refer to it for information. Maybe something you heard on the podcast and you want to just go pick up that line, what was said, it will be right there for you right at your fingertips. On the podcast today we’re talking about different ways to own or lease a vehicle and how the process has changed over the last several years. And on today’s podcast we have Mike Woodruff, he’s the Owner Loyalty Manager at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Hey Mike, welcome to the podcast. Mike Woodruff: 00:59 How are you John, my friend? New Speaker: 01:00 I am doing well. Hey, you know, before we get started, folks like to know a little bit about you and just anybody who is on the podcast. Hey, who is this guy and how did he get started? How did they get in the car business? Where is he from? That type of thing. So give us a little bit of background about you, Mike. Mike Woodruff: 01:14 Well, actually I’ve lived in the community since 1987. My previous career was in healthcare management and actually retired from that some years ago. And then later, I was looking for something to do at the suggestion of my wife. Ha, Yeah. And I knew some people at the dealership, and I’d spoken with a couple of people there and they suggested maybe working for the dealership. I had never done anything like that before. And I thought, well, that’ll be different. I thought it would something I would probably do for a couple of years. And, seven years later, here I am. John Haggard: 01:54 Seven years later, you’re still there. So when you were doing healthcare, when you said a manager, what were you doing? Mike Woodruff: 02:00 I was in health care management. I was managing clinical areas of one of the local hospitals and later went into practice management with group of physicians. John Haggard: 02:09 Gotcha, Gotcha. So, you knew some people down at Miracle and that’s how you wound up actually going to work for them. Mike Woodruff: 02:17 Exactly. John Haggard: 02:18 Gotcha. So you say you are you from Gallatin? Mike Woodruff: 02:21 I’m originally from Donaldson right outside of Nashville of course and been up here since 1987. John Haggard: 02:29 Gotcha. Now somebody said in the notes here that I’m reading that you have, I think it’s nine grandchildren. Mike Woodruff: 02:34 I have nine grandchildren I sure do. Nine beautiful grandchildren and four children. And that keeps me busy during my off hours. John Haggard: 02:42 I was going to say, what do you do on your off hours? Do you have any, ha! Well, Mike, I understand you are the Owner Loyalty Manager for Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, and the title would seem obvious, but take us behind the scenes. What does that really mean? And really, what does it mean for customers? Mike Woodruff: 03:02 Well, it means not only that they purchased a vehicle, they’ve also become a member of the Miracle Family. That’s very, very important to us. They’ll be a part of our new customer service initiative that we call the Miracle Express Train through the Chrysler Corporation in conjunction with JD Power and Associates. So that’s something that we’re very proud to be working on right now. And that train is on a fast track to excellence. We want to be one of the premier examples of great customer service in the community and that’s whether it’s sales, service or parts. John Haggard: 03:47 All right. And when you say the express train, tell us a little bit more about that. What all’s involved? Mike Woodruff: 03:54 It’s a dealership wide program where we focus intently on customer service and what we can do to improve the different aspects of customer service, be it sales or service or parts. How we interact with the customer, how we follow up with a customer, and just that communication is key to maintaining the relationship that was begun when the customer purchased a vehicle from us. And we think that’s key to customer service and our success. John Haggard: 04:34 Yeah. A lot of lack of communication all over these days. That’s for sure. Just anywhere that you go. And are you responsible for training people on how to do that or do you handle all of that? How does that work? Mike Woodruff: 04:46 I do the training as well. Yes John Haggard: 04:48 You do. Okay. So you are trainers. Well, and do you also sell and lease vehicles yourself? Mike Woodruff: 04:59 In my spare time do that as well. I have a loyal base of customers that I continue to service and communicate with. But, yeah, I wear different hats, but it keeps me busy. It keeps me active, and I love it. John Haggard: 05:13 All right. Now on selling and leasing, what changes have you seen in the marketplace? I guess the way people go about making a decision to buy or lease a vehicle, say compared to a few years ago, has anything changed or is it pretty much the same? Mike Woodruff: 05:28 Well, I think the two biggest changes, John are, of course the Internet and the emergence of digital technologies that really have surfaced in the past two to three years. That’s been phenomenal. There are so many options that you can purchase with your vehicle now. And digital technology has driven a lot of the decision making. There are some people who really like a lot of technology and there are some people that still like the simple basics, but we can offer anything and everything. John Haggard: 06:11 All right. Now, as you see a lot of advertisements out there, speaking of I guess technology or different ways of doing things, there’ll be companies out there who tell people, “hey, you know, you can bypass the dealer and just buy online”. You’ve got these companies like Carvana and Cars Direct, Car Gurus, Vroom, is that really true or is there any advantage or what’s a pro and a con about buying a vehicle off the internet? Mike Woodruff: 06:38 Well, I think it does have a place in the industry, but it’s really a small niche market. Most people still like to see and touch any item. But before making a purchase, even minor items, you know, a small TV or article of clothing you want to try it on, you want to feel it, you want to actually see it in person. So buying a vehicle solely on internet photos and a little bit of information can be an uncomfortable experience for most people. And there are some times issues with, if you want to trade in a vehicle, some of those sites will accept trading and some will not, but they’re going to value your vehicle without having seen it. And many times, once we are able to put our hands on your trade and we’re able to look at it, that can result in more money for your trade John Haggard: 07:39 Alright, you know, sometimes those types of ads will also imply, “look, you can cut out the middleman or the middle woman by buying online” and with the inference that you get a better deal buying online cause you don’t have someone in between just you and the technology so to speak. Is that true? Mike Woodruff: 07:59 No, it really isn’t. You may save a small amount of money, and we’re talking about maybe two to $300. You’re going to lose a large amount of support and attention to detail after the sale. And, and that’s the critical portion. You know, there are pros and cons to buying off the Internet. The pros are you do have a larger selection and have convenient access because you can just sit at your computer and go from one dealership to another,, or one site to another. And it can be a great starting point to begin your research. But the cons are, you really don’t get a proper assessment for your trade in and you don’t get that personal attention during the sales process. And more importantly, afterwards you don’t get a proper delivery of the vehicle and training on all the different functions. John Haggard: 08:57 I know that, because I have a car and I didn’t realize, with what I drive that you could pop the key out of the electronic key. I didn’t know that for years, so when I was always handing my key off to a guy who parked my car and I’m trying to take it off the key chain and do all this and that. So I guess little things like that. Mike Woodruff: 09:15 Sure John Haggard: 09:15 Have you ever had anybody do that to you? Say, Hey, I didn’t know this thing came apart like this. Nice and easy. Mike Woodruff: 09:20 Ha! It happened to myself a couple of times John. John Haggard: 09:23 I gotcha. You know, a lot of people think that, or probably most people that car dealers will say anything to get somebody to come into the showroom. So if you were gonna tell people about Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in terms of why they should really deal with the Miracle Auto Group and not somebody else down the street, what would you say? Mike Woodruff: 09:44 Simple. I don’t want to just sell you a vehicle. We want to sell the experience and the dealership. Because it’s not just selling you a vehicle today. It’s developing that relationship where we can sell you a vehicle three or four years down the road where you’re comfortable, and selling one of your family members or friends or people that you go to church or work with. That’s the important part. You know, Gallatin is growing, but it’s still a fairly small community. And it’s very important to us to maintain those relationships that we begin with the sale of a car. It’s not just a one and done process for us. John Haggard: 10:29 Well I guess that makes sense because you want referrals and most of the time research shows if someone is referred in, there’s what a 40 to 60% chance they’ll buy from the person they’ve been told about, versus somebody who just walks in. And of course if they want to trade in three years, you’d like to have that customer back. So I guess that certainly makes some sense. So when you’re not working all the time, Mike, cause it sounds like you are on and off the job a little bit. What do you do in your spare time? What do you, what do you really like to do? Mike Woodruff: 10:59 Okay. Well, of course, I like to spend time with my grandchildren. In fact, I’m going to take a couple of them fishing this week. So, the weather has kind of held off, so I think we’re going to be able to do that this week and, spending time with my wife and just enjoying life. I mean, I’m unfortunately too old to play competitive sports at this point, but my brain still thinks I can, ha! John Haggard: 11:33 Ha! A lot of wisdom up there for all that age, right Mike? There you go. Well listen, thanks for joining us today. Mike Woodruff, the owner loyalty manager for Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Hey, by the way, before we go, is there anything I did not ask you that you would want people to know, or maybe there’s a question that people ask all the time that we didn’t cover today? Mike Woodruff: 11:56 Nothing I can think of off hand. John, I thank you. We’ve pretty well covered that aspect of the dealership. I do want to mention, we just briefly skimmed over leasing there, but in a previous podcast Mark Ledford, who is our general sales manager, went into a lot more depth about leasing. And we talked today a little bit about the technology and how fast it’s moving. And that’s one of the prime reasons that people may want to think about leasing. Because if they’re the type of people who like the latest in safety features and technology, leasing is certainly the way to go, and should be strongly considered. John Haggard: 12:36 Okay. So what’s the difference there? Just so that we all understand, if you lease? Mike Woodruff: 12:41 At the end of three years, you have options. And that’s one of my favorite words. I mean, it’s always nice to have options. You can turn the car in. You can go ahead and turn around and lease another three years on a three year newer vehicle. Or you can just simply throw us the keys and walk away. But you do have options, particularly for younger people whose life situations sometimes change a little more quickly. It’s nice to have that option three years down the road to do something different with your vehicle rather than to be tied into five, six or seven years on a car payment. John Haggard: 13:19 Got You. That’s the difference. All right, I get that. Mike Woodruff, everybody again, the Owner Loyalty Manager for Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. We invite you to join us again right here for other topics on the podcast throughout each month. And our goal is to show you the best ways to purchase, maintain and accessorize your new or preowned vehicle, or lease, and how to sell your vehicle for the highest resale value possible when you’re ready. And don’t forget, we’ve also posted a transcript of each podcast right here on the website so that you can easily refer to it for information that you would like to have at your fingertips. I’m your host John Haggard and we’ll see ya next time.

It's almost summertime, and hot rod shows and vintage car cruise nights are again popping up all over the country. This week we talk about the history of AMC automobiles, and are joined by Galaxy Good Guy Tom Dulaney, an AMC historian and collector. American Motors formed in 1954 with the merger of the Nash and Hudson automobile companies. In subsequent years, notable cars such as the Rambler, Gremlin, and Hornet, as well as a number of muscle cars in their later years rolled out of AMC assembly lines. Tom outlines the history of AMC and its innovations over the years. He also tells us about the car clubs and followers who actively collect AMC vehicles, while recalling the popularity of AMC vehicles in TV shows and movies. As a later, independent automobile company that provided popular vehicles for many years, underdog AMC was well known for innovation, despite heavy competition by "Big 3" car companies. Eventually absorbed by Chrysler Corporation, the AMC legacy continues today, with Ramblers, Pacers, Javelins, Hornets, and other AMC models seen on the road, and at car shows and automobile museums around the world. #nashrambler #amcpacer #amcjavelin #nashhudson #americanmotors Let's imagine we are in Mike's late uncle's 1957 Rambler station wagon and go for a ride on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network!

Diva Tech Talk interviewed Gail Bernard, Director of Sales, Americas for Cybernoor, a leading provider of Oracle platform solutions. In Gail’s childhood, she was fascinated by science and attended the University of Washington where she entered pre-med. “I saw technology, originally, as enabling medicine,” she said but additionally “I saw we could use technology to solve business problems, life problems.” She migrated to management information systems and transferred to the University of Michigan, to complete her BBA in MIS. During two internships at Chrysler Corporation. she managed the personal computer rollout for the entire company. Then she began working at Chrysler, full-time, after graduation as a systems analyst in their product development group. Her team produced a complicated engineering BOM (Bill of Materials). “I got to work with amazing, brilliant people!” After Chrysler, Gail moved to consulting and gained in-depth experience in inventory and supply chain technology deployment. Then she moved into technology consulting sales to “deliver the breadth and depth of services” required by a number of very large Michigan clients. “Being around diverse groups of people taught me how to conduct myself in any given scenario,” Gail said. Gail then migrated to founding and leading the Detroit-based office of Interactive Business Systems, when their full portfolio of products/services expanded into Michigan. While Gail enjoyed the sales and consulting work, she became intellectually restless. She also underwent a bout with breast cancer, and “realized that having healthcare choices, in retirement, was big.” So, she decided to get her PMP certification, passing her exam on the first round. That led Gail to her next career chapter as the Project Management Officer (PMO) for the U.S. District Court, Eastern Division, in Michigan ---- one of the largest consolidated court systems in the U.S. Prior to her tenure, the court “no had created the point of service, but we were able to digitize the probation and pre-trial functions so that we ended up with the lowest recidivism rates of offenders, in the nation.” Now Gail has returned to a consulting role at Cybernoor, which is “new to Michigan.” Its founder, Ahmed Alomari , was the Vice President of Application Development at Oracle Corporation but left a decade ago to create an improved portfolio of products and services, founded on Oracle platforms. What most excites Gail, in her role of driving sales throughout North America, is the fact that Cybernoor is a leader in full, organic digital transformation for large organizations. Gail’s career success stems from her intellectual agility, the propensity to move/evolve at the speed of disruptive change, and constant quest for greater meaning in her work, which truly motivates her. To stay joyous, she fully recognizes and basks in the glow of small and large accomplishments. “I don’t necessarily separate my professional life and my personal life,” she said. Having faced a significant health challenge, when she triumphed over cancer, she has only two fears today: physical heights, and failure! She also gives back, regularly, to others dealing with that disease by “being a buddy” when she finds someone who needs support. Gail’s leadership lessons included: “Don’t take shortcuts. Accept that males and females are different. Lean into it! Celebrate it and pull the best out of it.” And “Empower, rather than command.” She also counseled to live in the moment and understand that life’s goal “is not a destination, it is a process.” Seizing the day, she giggled: “I say live your life like you stole it!” Make sure to check us out on online at www.divatechtalk.com, on Twitter @divatechtalks, and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/divatechtalk.

Jim Cherry and Tony Barthel take a look at the golden era of concept cars - 1951-70 - and talk this week about the groundbreaking concepts that were surprisingly real-world from Virgil Exner and the Chrysler Corporation.
Richard welcomes a researcher/author to discuss how the 1964 murder of a nationally known cancer researcher is connected to Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination of JFK. GUEST: Ed Haslam spent his first 35 living in New Orleans. He personally heard and saw things that involved the investigation into the Kennedy Assassination, the murder of one of his father colleagues, and claims of biological weapons to be used for political purposes. In the 1980s Haslam's advertising career took him to Detroit where he managed advertising campaigns for the Chrysler Corporation - and where he made presentations to then-Chairman Lee Iacocca. For the next 4 years in Detroit, he managed the advertising for several divisions of Rockwell International and later the Michigan State Lottery. In his final days in Detroit, as the AIDS epidemic fixed itself upon the media landscape, Haslam started questioning what he had seen and heard in New Orleans. He began work on a research project known as Mary, Ferrie & the Monkey Virus: The Story of an Underground Medical Laboratory. He is the author of Dr. Mary's Monkey: How the Unsolved Murder of a Doctor, a Secret Laboratory in New Orleans and Cancer-Causing Monkey Viruses Are Linked to Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK Assassination and Emerging Global Epidemics

Airing date: 06/06/2018 Chrysler Recall, FBI Router warning, Cryptocurrency issues, Pink Collar Jobs Craig Peterson: [00:00:00] Hey, good morning, everybody. Craig Peterson here this morning with Ken and Matt. I spent a little time and we talked about of course the FBI warning about our routers and when a little detail. But you guys know about that right. Then we also talked about the Fiat Chrysler warning about 5 million of their vehicles being very, very, dangerous. And social media and how it's now a pink-collar job. Isn't that new. And we talked about Mary Meeker and her latest report the 300 slide internet trends report and what that's all about. And if you are investing in bitcoin or any of these other cryptocurrencies and you have to maintain a security clearance, we've got a big warning for you. So here we go. Have a great day. I'm enjoying myself. I am out in the Adirondacks here doing a little bit of vacationing and meetings of course with friends. That's the way it always goes. : [00:00:59] So Here we go with Ken and Matt. Welcome back again its 738 on the WGAN Morning News and it is Wednesday which means it's time for Craig Peterson, our tech guru. He joins us at this time every Wednesday. : [00:01:11] Sir, are you this morning doing, I am well, I'm out in Lake George, at Americade, doing some motorcycle riding yesterday it was a little rainy, but it should be nice the rest of the week. : [00:01:24] Excellent. Yeah. My wife last asked me if we had a router and I didn't know the answer. : [00:01:32] So, there's an issue with routers Yeah this is the same one that we've been talking about the last couple of weeks. The FBI has come out now and given a worldwide alert and we've got to be really careful with this because the problem is that the routers that we're using for our homes, and unfortunately many small businesses are using these home routers as well. Those routers are compromised, many of them with a whole bunch of Russian software, that is taking your data and is sending it all the way out or actually to Russia. Today in Russia they are looking at it for bank account information, credit card information, personal information. So, you've got to replace these things. I've had a lot of our listeners have reached out to me on my text number. I gave out a couple of weeks ago. I mentioned the ORBI, you might remember you can get that right now. Best Buy has the best price on it. That's ORBI. You can get it on Amazon. And one of our listeners was concerned because looking at the reviews on Amazon there were a lot of complaints about the ORBI that come up right at the top of the reviews. However, the ORBI device is a great little router and if you look at it the reviews chronologically it's fantastic. : [00:02:54] They had a problem about a year and a half ago with some other firmware that's been pretty much fixed now so the ORBI is what I'm recommending people to replace their home routers. Now, if you have a router from your Internet service provider they are taking care of this problem. If you bought an aftermarket router that's when the problems start coming up and that's when you really should look at replacing it was something new. That’s because there's probably not new firmware to fix this problem. It's absolutely huge. It's devastating. We still haven't really begun to see the fallout from this. But make sure you reboot your router at least weekly for now, and go ahead and replace it. And I'm going to be sending more information to people and explaining things, but have a good look at that ORBI router and it will make a difference for you. Big difference. It's a scary world. : [00:03:52] Speaking of scary worlds, is it possible to be addicted to getting cryptocurrencies. Should I be afraid of, you know, buying them going forward? : [00:04:04] Yes, it is. It's interesting because I've got a couple articles on that this week in my newsletter. But the problem that we're finding is that people are getting kind of a gambler's addiction to buying cryptocurrencies and it's becoming such a problem that we're starting to see not only doctors talking about it but it could end up being something that gets into the AMA standards as well. Cryptocurrency addiction. The other thing that is happening right now with cryptocurrencies is that we've got a problem with background checks and security. You know, if you have a clearance from the federal government, you have an FBI background check, that is required for working, for instance, down at the shipyard and you bought cryptocurrencies. They're saying now that that could be a big mark against you when it's time to get a background check to renew your security clearance. And the reason why is they're saying that with cryptocurrencies they are so frequently used by the black hats, by the bad guys, the criminals, that they may take that cryptocurrency that you have and count it against you thinking that you may be doing illicit things online. That’s because you can use a cryptocurrency to buy drugs, not just marijuana but all the hard stuff, like fentanyl and other things. you can use that cryptocurrency for all kinds of illicit transactions. So are cryptocurrencies back in the news this week and one of the big warnings is the federal government has not made a standard yet but a lot of people within the review board are saying cryptocurrencies are a big mark against you if you have to have a security clearance. : [00:05:58] Craig Peterson is our tech guru he joins us every Wednesday at 738. Craig, I use cruise control all the time, now I don't have I don't have a fiat. I have a Honda Ridgeline, so, I am kind of safe but, I mean can things go bad with cruise control? Let‘s talk about your Honda for a second. : [00:06:27] These newer cars including the Honda, In fact, I had to send a thing to my mom about the Honda and how these keys that you don't have to put into the ignition. Right. You just keep them with you. Right. A lot of people tend to leave them in the car or when they lock the car in the garage. And what the problem that we're seeing now is that people are dying because of that. And here's why. Can get them a little key flaw that you have for your Honda. And this isn't just a Honda problem. But if you take it with you even into the house it can be close enough to the car that the car sinks. OK can't hear or see is nearby. And if you forgot to shut off the engine which is you know you look at our generation we've been turning off the key for how many decades right. And now you have to hit that button to shut it off. So, they forget the shut off the engine and that engine keeps running. And what's been happening is people getting been getting brain damage and even dying from the carbon monoxide to creep in from the garage into the house because the car's still running, and we don't know about it. So, a real word of warning here to all of our listeners. This is picking on Honda, I am just picking on Ken. So, because of that problem we'd be very, very, careful especially it's been hitting the older population. Now back to the original thing you're mad about the cruise controls guys. Matt and Kim here's what's going on. : [00:08:03] The Chrysler Corporation you remember last fall I think it was October or so we were talking about a problem with Chrysler's and how the software in that car could be manipulated so that someone could remotely drive the car and drive it into the ditch. Do you remember that? It was in the news. Yeah, Well now the latest is that there is a bug and Chrysler Fiat. They are warning people that have their cars double checked your model number and I have a list of them up on my Web site that are known to be effective. I should say but be careful because some other cars can in certain situations and it has already happened people. If you have the cruise control on it will not disengage. You can get a break. You can hit the cruise control off button and the cruise control will stay on. So if you're going down the pike at 70 miles an hour that engines going to keep trying to go down the pike at 70 miles an hour. Now if it happens to you, thing to do is STAND on had brakes, because the brakes are designed to overpower the engine and that engine still going to be going, going, like crazy. Get over to the side of the road. After to coming to a full stop and then put the car in park. OK. So Important safety tip for Chrysler Fiat owners out there, cruise control on some of the vehicles can in certain conditions decide it is not going to shut off. : [00:09:40] So contact your dealer they'll have a fix available for you they can let you know if your car is affected or you can do some searches online. The joys of technology you guys. We are talking about Cruise control. Not even autonomous vehicles. I'm just so concerned about the future frankly. : [00:10:01] We're talking to Craig Peters on our tech guru who joins us at this time every Wednesday. CRAIG My final question for you what exactly is a pink-collar job and why is social media one of them. : [00:10:13] Yeah that's an interesting thing right because we know all the jobs that women tend to move towards and men tend to move towards other jobs. It's turned out that social media for businesses is a job that has been attracting almost exclusively women. And it's a decent job you can do look from home depending on the job position of course. But it's been called the pink-collar job because when it comes to social media it's really been a woman's world. And I've got to mention one more thing if you want to know where the Internet is only Mary Meeker every year puts out her slides. She is brilliant. If you are an investor you've got to check her she's got her 2018 Internet trend report out. And, of course she does mention a little bit about pink-collar in there. But she talks about everything it's almost 300 pages of slides. It's incredible amount of data very dense. But it's everything from people buying online what kinds of devices they're using. We reach saturation e-commerce versus brick and mortar. Hey, it's your business. Check it out. I've got it up on my Web site as well. This is her 2018 internet trends report and it is really the standard bearer when it comes to trying to figure out what's coming our way online. : [00:11:42] All right, Craig Peterson our tech guru joins us at this time every Wednesday. Appreciate you joining us sir. We will talk to you again next week. : [00:11:49] A gentleman. Take care. : [00:11:50] Thank you very much sir. All right. --- Don't miss any episode from Craig.

Watch like a DOCUMENTARY … Learn like a SEMINAR. Helping automotive aftermarket professionals improve; one lesson at a time. Academy Panel: Professor Scott Norman an instructor and the program coordinator for the four-year bachelor’s program in Automotive Technology at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, KS. He has also been a Technical Training Instructor with Chrysler Corporation. He is also Chairman of the National Automotive Service Technology Committee for Skills USA. Listen to Scott in our episode on his role at Pittsburg State 164 (https://remarkableresults.biz/e164/) . We also have Rick Escalambre. Although he is a retired instructor at Skyline College in San Bruno, CA, after 31 years Rick shows no signs of slowing down and continues to teach in an adjunct role. He is also a contract trainer throughout the industry. Rick is on the Vision Educator Think Tank and can always be counted on to make some important and profound contributions to the forum. Hear Rick in his own episode 218 (https://remarkableresults.biz/e218/) . Ryan Kooiman the Director of Training at Standard Motor Products. When he joined Standard Motor Products he was a Technician Training Developer. Previously he was the lead tech/driveability specialist at a 20-bay independent shop in Michigan. Ryan oversees the operations of the SMP Corporate Training Center in Irving, TX; and oversees the operations and development of the Pro Training group.

After 25 years of ownership, he sold his business Superwrench Import Auto in Tulsa, OK to pursue a teaching career at Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology. There he helped start and instruct the Pro-Tech Automotive Internship program for 12 years. Hear Rick in his own episode 184 (https://remarkableresults.biz/e184/) . Talking points: Most instructors have migrated from industry. Not many current students of automotive technology consider a career as an instructor. The technician shortage predicates an instructor shortage in the future. Scott Norman is asked all the time if he can help find instructors for other schools. Retiring instructors need replacements. There are not many in the pipeline; therefore some programs are shutting down. An instructor automotive technology challenges: Pay Certifications: Meeting education requirements. There are aftermarket opportunities for trainers as suggested by Ryan Kooiman. Becoming a full-time automotive instructor is a viable career path for working technicians. As an instructor, you are not handed a script. You need to create your own lessons. You may have the technical ability but also need presentation skills. Mentoring and finding the future leaders/instructors will be necessary. There is more to engaging students than just having the experience. You can learn to teach … your experience is the valuable asset. Teaching is a definite career change. The subject matter is the same but the job description is totally different. The money is a big factor in the teacher role. They will want to take a pay cut to become an educator. There are benefits. Days not as long. Time off in Summer.

Today I want to discuss something that’s sort of a popular topic with me for both personal and business success, and that is data. Similarly, you may think of never-ending information flow. Often I hear people saying that you can have things like: “Too much data,” or: “I don’t need any more info.” If you don’t need any more info, that’s kind of like saying: “I don’t need to learn anything new. I already know it all.” Remember the episodes on not making decisions early, that is a similar idea. You don’t make decisions early. Why? Because there always may be more and more information that’s going to come in that we need to hear and we need to listen to; it may tip the scales. I’ll explain this a little bit more again in a little while. Data and Information flows into your mind throughout life. That becomes the feeling in your gut. One of the things I used to hear a lot from some CEOs or very high-ups in any corporation is they say: “I don’t need any market research data,” or: “I don’t need any more research. I know it in my gut.” If you’ve seen the quotes, actually, there was a quote from Warren Brown, formerly the Washington Post; and Don Hilty, formerly Chief Economist for Chrysler Corporation both have said things to the fact that I’m blunt, straightforward, honest, and thorough. They liked what I said, but they didn’t always take it down easily. What does that mean? That’s exactly what I’m going to say, here, and what I have said in some things to those CEOs or general managers of major corporations. What I would usually do, after they said they know it in their gut, I’d say: “Gee, where’d you get that gut? How did that come about? What happened?” I’d only hesitate for a moment, because I knew they didn’t know the answer and they didn’t have any real answer to it,” and I said: “We know you certainly weren’t born that way. You weren’t born as an expert in this area, so you must have acquired it over time. I wonder where you acquired it from. I guess it was from different things and experiences, right? Basically, what has happened is a lifetime of data and information has flown into you in order to form that feeling that you call your gut.” You can imagine the kind of looks I got at the time, but I tried to tip the conversation in another direction then, usually successfully. The idea was: Yes, you can always learn more. What do you do with all of that data? Even when you have data, you have an opinion, and you have a thought, you always need to test. Test. You’ve heard of A/B testing, for you test one logo versus the other, or you test a headline versus another, an ad versus another, and you can get more extensive when you get into some higher statistical techniques. As you’re pulling in all this information and data, some people will say you have too much. What does that really mean, “too much”? I used to get this all the time when I was first starting out in a lot of research, where somebody would say to me: “Well, you don’t want it all. How about we send it to you in groups?” By groups, they meant, for example, age groups, they might want to have 19 to 34 and 35 to 64 and 65+ or something like that. I would always say: -“Whatever you have it in, I want to see the raw stuff.” -“Well, you don’t want it by years.” I said: “If you have it by years, that’s the way I want it.” Why would I say that? Because different things I’m looking at may have different influences. For example, the 25- to 34-year-old is really very different when you think of a 34-year-old versus a 25-year-old. These basically were the standard breakdowns that the census would break them down to, because they did aggregate them, they would have 19 to 24, 25 to 29, 30 to 34, then they would go into 10-year age groups; 35-44, etc. What’s the significance of that? Let’s take a look at car models. A very different kind of car is bought in a person’s late 20s and early 30s than as they turn 40. When everybody was saying: “Wow,
