You made a really interesting point: Perhaps if the gov. let Chrysler fail back in 1980, Ford and GM would have learned the error of their ways, and they would be operating under a far different business practice than they do today.

You know I often think about the exact notion in which you wrote about: when did it become commonplace to throw around the word billion? No one seems to be scared of that number anymore…That’s part of the problem.

Another nice post, thanks,
