I agree with everything you said. The question now is who is to blame. Is
it the management or is it the expectations of the stockholders?

Management. Always.
That include gov policy too.
You know I'm a "Captain is always responsible" guy. (-:
Besides, when you say "shareholders" you have to remember
the management that pumps share prices at the cost of quality and
customer satisfaction is benefitting the largest shareholders -
themselves.
Many of these corps were between a rock and a hard place because of
globalism.
But some just took advantage of it.
You know it's almost impossible to find a decent refrigerator or
washing machine?
I'm thinking that moving appliance production to Mexico to pump share
prices has cost us big time.
But maybe I'm just unlucky.
