It reminds me of Target stores, opening in Canada, then failing miserably and closing in less that 2 years, losing several billion dollars and laying off tons of employees in the process. And so poorly mismanaged and planned that it seems like it was engineered to happen as a tax write down. The severance deal also included a 62 million dollar payout for the CEO.

Not to be political, but believe it or not, there are a LOT of us down here in the States that think the same way. It's just that the hardcore capitalist types have a hundreds year old culture and political machine that knows how get people to vote and speak out loudly against their own best interests. Those people are actually in the vast minority here, but they know how to be shocking and newsworthy enough to make it seem like their group is bigger than it is.
