Oy.
The cost of Bush’s “industry, regulate thyself” policies continues to escalate. Thanks to the utter eviscerating of the Consumer Products Safety Commission, toxic toys are still getting through in alarming numbers. Meanwhile, GE is recalling 92,000 combination microwave/conventional ovens because they present a fire hazard.
Geez, what has happened to business in America? When did minimizing cost, especially at the expense of good corporate citizenship, become such an obsession among the MBA crowd?
You know, Atrios has been referring to the subprime mortgage crisis as the “Big Shitpile.” This is starting to resemble a Toxic Shitpile.
