Agreed. Let. Them. Fail.
This isn't truly a democratic society. It is a Capitalistic society. The country was founded with capitalistic goals in mind - to hunt, harvest and scavenge products to trade with Europe. As competition came in, they were forced to adjust. Early colonists didn't supply to current fads. Information traveled to slowly to make an approach like that possible. They provided quality products that people wanted to buy.
GM, on the other hand, did the exact opposite. They created crappy vehicles that sometimes played into current fads, as opposed to anticipating the consumer's needs and supplying quality products that created their own demand.
Let. Them. Fail.
