Large centralized business are subject to the same incompetence of large govt.

large centralized govt goes hand in hand with large centralized business.

THERE WAS MUCH GOVT INVOLVEMENT IN THIS SITUATION.

I oppose big business as much as I oppose big government. They are the same.

I learned long ago the govt would rather deal with 3 large farmers than 100 small farmers.

“Large centralized business are subject to the same incompetence of large govt.”

Bingo and particularly in manufacturing.

I had a problem with GE a few years back, before they - correctly and wisely - started unloading various divisions and subsideries.

I had bought something made by GE. It came with a few parts - screws - missing. The missing screws were shown in the assembly plans but not described at all in any technical way.

I began a conversation with GE corporate customer service.

I thought surely somewhere in GE someone had the technical plans and new the right technical description for the missing screws.

Through about three weeks the Emails reached the top of GE corporate customer service.

In the end they had no answer.

I endeavored to never trust GE for anything ever again.

In the three years that followed GE began shrinking itself down.

Yes, sometimes companies are too big and too diverse.
