 Blaming shareholders is silly.  Their only crime was staying in that hopeless piece of shit as long as they did.
 |  I agree with you about that kind of thing, but shareholders provide incentives to management just by selling the stock if the long-term prospects aren't good.

 |  If you google, you'll discover this does come from a survey the Canadians did at the Detroit/Windsor border crossing.
 
Yellow = Michiganders going to Canada for the beer 
Blue = Michiganders going to Canada for the strippers 
Green = Michiganders going to Canada for the beer and strippers 
Red = Other reasons for going to Canada |
