So, the SS United States will be saved from sinking by a multibillionaire, while the United States is being actively sunk by another multibillionaire.

Easier to get them on the road, and harder to sue when someone gets hit by one. Its the American way. 

2nd gear: As a GM employee that’s preparing to leave the company, this absolutely baffles me. My group of 45 people lost 6 good, contributing team members.
