Please don't. The arrogance with which they handle this situation is mind-boggling. Everyone else is blamed except their own greed and awful decision making. Germany and Europe will recover from this eventually and we're going to be better off without the auto lobby.

Incompetence maybe, but no arrogance.

Politically, I'm happy for this, on a business level, not really.

One could characterize WWII that way, but maybe it still would have been better prevented.
