Blame the engineer. Hmm. Lets see. Will I ever buy Government Motors in my life? That would be a no.

  Kind of disappointing to see "Government Motors" on Hacker News.

    Giant Monoliths are (understandably) not looked upon kindly on HN. Move fast & Break things is the mantra here. ;-)

      Well they've got the 'break things' part covered hey ;)

      I hear you. But "Government Motors" is a clever marketing phrase right along with "Death Panels" that became a catch cry for a political movement high on rhetoric and low on intellectual rigor. Thus my disappointment that someone on HN might also inhabit that camp.

        Thus my disappointment that someone on HN might also inhabit that camp. Yeah, I hear your disappointment. But, HN is not (and doubt ever was) a homogenous community. It would be pretty boring and even more of an echo chamber if it were. Roses and Dandelions, one more than the other ;-), all form the HN crowd! Sure, dissing redditization is a part of being a responsible HN citizen, but let's not throw the baby out with the bath water! (now get off my nice lawn all you pesky whippersnappers) :P
