Do any big corporations make products you respect?

[thermodynamic]

And did they get big because they made a good product, or because they found the right marketing opportunity?

The pukes love to claim that working hard and making a good product will make one a success; but in our society it appears that it's actually any sleazy way you can get your slop to market first is how you win the game.

* Burger King et al = slop
* Microsoft = mega slop!
* Auto makers = depends on the maker, and I sure as hell would avoid GM and related brands. Also, Oldsmobile said a few years back they were going out of business. People as a result bought their mobile junkheaps in droves, probably just to stock up on the car knowing they were going out of business. What happened? Just one year later, Oldsmobile has a self-congratulating advert proclaiming how great their sales were and said nothing about their attempt at shutting down the year before. :puke: Isn't this misleading the consumers? Where was the outrage?
* banks and credit cards = thieves they all are, best to be taken advantage of...
* most food products = unhealthy slop (looking at "Mexican" goods today; El Paso brand products are just plain worthless with no nutritional value, even worthless in fiber. Ortega's counterparts, as far as shells and mixes go, were far healthier (fewer calories & fat, with fiber content). Definitely read those little white standout labels that liberals fought hard to get onto packages.
* television = slop, naturally
