I think the darkest part is the self-inflicted nature of the damage. American consumers were getting better choices from Asian and European manufacturers. The response of the American manufacturers was late, timid and often delusional. This is the aftermath, whether your product is an automobile or a telephone.
Here's something to do while waiting for the next light to change -- just note the country of origin of the cars passing through the intersection. Just name 'em as they pass -- German, Japanese, Japanese, Korean, German American, Japanese, Japanese ...
Each one represents a consumer voting with his or her dollars. Sobering.
