Saving the US Auto Industry

I'd rather see the money go to mass transportation, higher fuel efficiency development, bike paths and work-from-home practices, and while we're at it, to me. Or at least not more from me.

The Asian auto manufacturers have a secret weapon - Feng Shui. We simply can't blame the incompetent leadership of any US automaker or coddling by both parties in Congress that mistakenly thought that giving in to requests to not toughen pollution/mileage/safety regs would actually help them build better cars. No, that would require someone to actually take responsibility.

So I propose a feng shui solution, one that will cheaply solve the problem without assigning blame to any group.

Step 1: On the 4th Monday of any month, go to headquarters building of automaker needing assistance.

Step 2: At 1:34 PM local time, open windows in top two floors of the building starting from one of the four cardinal directions depending on season (East/Spring, South/Summer, West/Autumn, or North/Winter) in a counter-clockwise order.

Step 3: Throw any guy wearing a suit out of one of the open windows.
