Sovreign Republic of Detroit
FLAME ON!
Arrrrgggggg! We could always declare Detroit as a foreign
country. Then we wouldn't be forced to buy their garbage.
Although Greg's concern for our country's economy is quite
commendable, I feel that supporting an organization that
continues to ignore quality simply propagates the viscious
circle of JUNK = WORSE STATE OF ECONOMY. Is it morally
right to "design in" obsolescence for the sake of economy?
Would it not be better to make quality, feel good about
doing it, and sell more product? When is the last time
the government came to the rescue of the Acme wing nut
company when they were going under for making #10-23 nuts?
Let's not continue to support these idiots when they
won't listen to us. It's not the American worker, either.
It is the philosophy of Detroit management. If this is
not enough of a flame, I can relate the experiences of a
close friend who works there. You want to hear some
tales of "engineering repression" and "design it to break"?
I got a million of `em.
FLAME OFF!
Sorry, Greg. I can't help soapboxing on this subject.
