17. Refrigerators are pretty efficient.
What's your point?

You are defending the strategic plans of these corporate raiders? America deserves better than to be led around for another 50 years by these buffoons. The technical and manufacturing skills of the employees can be put to better use in a more forward thinking, innovative, less corrupt environment. Change doesn't always come easily.
