Bigness has taken over this country. From our banking institutions, Wall $treet, Health care, pro and college sports, and manufacturing(or the view that that can't be done HERE) to the degree that we don't respect HOW things are made anymore-just that we need to get it at the cheapest price, where we shop, and when(look out next year when the big boxes will open as soon as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is concluded-to heck with all that family time and giving thanks, just show up with your credit card in hand), and our food supply chain geared to make us sick so that we have to see their doctors, to Citizens United that demands that corporations be given citizenship, bigness has taken over. Keep your eye on corporate returns and forget about all that humanity stuff. As a business man myself I understand that companies come and go, but a part of me just died, at the hands of this bigness which numbs the soul and blinds one to what is right. "I'm afraid that we've met the enemy, and the enemy is us" couldn't apply more. This is what is robbing us of our traditions and our humanity.
I sincerely hope that the design ideals that SAAB embodied shall outlive and persevere beyond this period of bigness.Sorry, just my 2 cents...
Oh and by the way, I'm just one little human being up against the corporate citizen, but I put a one hundred year curse on the board of General Motors, may disease and pestilence be your constant companion.
Enjoy!
