It's pretty much what the American automakers did. They love to blame the unions, bit the unions weren't responsible for the lack of R&D spending. American cars, which are now at least reliable, are still antiquated by international standards. Its painful to watch Top Gear on BBC America. They make a sport out of mocking how primitive our cars are.

They need people with real vision again, not money crunching managers.

I only hurl myself onto the plush when something AMAZING happens in WDW, like new walls, when Wishes! runs twice a night, and when a new D23 mag arrives!!!!!
