They insist on trying to make their money selling Champaign products.

When beer is where the money is made.

Just ask Anheuser-Busch.

Selling starships when most people merely need a vehicle that, cheaply, safely, and dependably goes from point A to point B is stupid, and counterproductive.

America's car makers are too greedy and short sighted for their own good.
