In 28 years when it rusts juuuuuust enough for everyone else to want to scrap it

Neat.

high enough to see the curvature of the Earth

This was a time when assembly workers were actively sabotaging cars out of spite so they definitely had a negative effect on quality.

Chrome on macOS. As another commenter suggested, the AutoplayStopper extension appears to work really well.

As someone whose office just got renovated recently to a more “open concept”, it’s really not as good as a lot of people want to think.  I do like that we actually refreshed the interior to a cohesive theme instead of the years and years of additions and moved walls and mismatched carpet, but open concept means you…

FYI, Mr. Blank: A Toter 64-gallon wheeled commercial trash can easily capable of holding a coach’s body is located at aisle 56, bay 005 at the Midtown Home Depot in Atlanta.

If you refuse to correct problems found, your going to continue having that problem. It's easy to point fingers at any side, but it just shows as a whole they weren't really invested in making a…

Engineers and designers are adressed in the film, albeit close to its end.

Exactly this. Proper engineering of the product, proper engineering of the manufacturing infrastructure, proper management of the whole system, proper management and relationship with the workers (non-adversarial). None of those have been strong suits for GM.

Execs love blaming the workers for everything and using…

Red Rivethead. It pretty much sums up why the autoworkers themselves weren’t blameless in the quality dept.

My take: Assembly-line workers can only build the vehicle as well as it’s engineered and parts-sourced.

I worked at Delco Remy in the 7os and can tell you that the only thing that mattered was getting the parts out the door. Whether the parts worked didn’t matter, just move the f-ing parts. Inspection was a joke - the testing equipment didn’t work properly and even if defective products were tagged, the production…
