Those companies are being disassembled to increase profits.

GE is a dying company - for so long that is it finally appearing on spread sheets.

Same thing happened when 1950 and 1960s American cars were world's best. Then business school graduates took over in the 1960s. Innovation that did not happen in the 60s meant 70s cars got bad. So bad that an engineer was no longer allowed to innovate unless that innovation was required by Federal regulations.

What happened there in the 1960s is now ongoing in the white appliance industry.

Consumer Reports - and then hope a business school graduate did not recently cost control that product.
