Seems like most of these companies have embraced a librul outlook to politics.
Well, I’ll miss Barnes & Noble. Other than that....
NYT great??? Not so much.
NYT great??? Not so much.
Knowingly selling laptops that had a tendency to catch fire and telling the customer it was HIS fault didn't help much - I'll never buy from these schmucks again...
I am surprised to see Sprint on this list, and claiming that Sprint had poor service. I am a Sprint customer (business account), and my bad experience had been with ATT - a corporation that is even worse on having zampolits in the office, and really deserves to expire.
“At the heart of The New York Times’ uniqueness among American newspapers is the quality of its editorial content. The company has held the line on retaining its large editorial staff.”
Yeah, gotta keep shoveling that agitprop out - facts be damned...
If Dell (who bought Perot systems) is on there, even moreso should be HP, which bought Perot’s earlier company. They have parallel business models and business plans.
And there is a surprising omission of the biggest recent FAIL of all, Facebook.
When the hell were Groupon, Zynga, or AMD great?
Groupon was a great American Co?
i hope the first two DO go bankrupt...
add Sears to that.
The other companies on the list...well, I guess they aren't so "Great" after all.
I thought some of these already were gone. Penny’s has closed down all their stores here in the past couple of years, and Sprint Nextel is gone. Bank of America left a long time ago—it shut down its branches here rather than be forced to make loser CRA mortgages in this community. Sears has announced its going out of business here in the spring of 2013.
It’s the circle of life. I was going to post that at least these companies are not getting bailed out, but oops, there is Bank of America there.
Why isn’t the Obama/Biden Administration on this list? All their subsidiaries are failures - Solyndra, GM, Acorn. The corporate balance sheet is nothing but red ink as far as the eye can see. There’s no business model that turns a profit. Staffing is bloated with deadwood in departments like Education, Energy, HUD, the EPA, etc. The company is still run along procedural lines established in the 1930’s and the 1960’s and unchanged since.
Time to let this firm go into receivership.
Also important and overlooked is their move to LTE. They won’t have to wait for special phones months after the other biggies because of WiMax. They need to role it out faster and reaslly push their unlimitted and cheaper plans.
“NYT great??? Not so much.”
Well, maybr in the same way that Farrakhan stated that Hitler was great, wickedly great.
There’s a couple of companies on here that are going to make it but for sure there are several who deserve to go down in flames.
Groupon
Zynga
Barnes & Noble Inc
NYT
J.C. Penney
The ones not on my list still have very good underlying fundamentals that will keep them going when everyone else burns through their capital.
