Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.
When cars were first introduced to the American public they were portrayed as the new, exciting, invention of the future. Quickly, the world seemed to be built around them with roads popping up everywhere and sidewalks being dismantled to make more room. But, what seemed like it would be a futuristic utopia has turned into a nightmare. No one walks anymore, we are more isolated from each other than ever before, and driving has become a dangerous and tedious task.
